Bonobos and Toys"R"Us® Unveil First-Ever Brand Collaboration Featuring Geoffrey the Giraffe

The iconic men's fashion brand and global toy brand launch limited edition '1988 Geoffrey the Giraffe' collection in celebration of his birthday.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bonobos, the modern menswear brand known for its distinctive style, announces its official partnership with Toys"R"Us to debut an exclusive apparel collection featuring the iconic 1988 Geoffrey the Giraffe™. The limited edition capsule includes adult and children's Geoffrey-logoed fleece crewnecks and hats, available exclusively at Bonobos Guideshops, on Bonobos.com, Macys.com and in select Macy's retail locations.

The collaboration aims to target the millennial and young at heart audiences who grew up with Toys"R"Us and are now in or entering adulthood, and perhaps with kids of their own. The launch timing coincides with Geoffrey's birthday, October 17th, where he turns 9 years old each year (oh, to be forever young!).

"Growing up, I would eagerly await the Toys'R'Us catalog to arrive in my mailbox," says John Hutchison, Brand President of Bonobos. "For this partnership, we wanted to recapture that sense of nostalgia, anticipation and excitement by celebrating Geoffrey on his birthday with a design we know would resonate with our customers and remind them that we didn't (really) grow up, we're all still Toys'R'Us Kids."

"Our customers have always loved the quirky, clever and humorous personality of Bonobos. This comes as an unexpected surprise for our audiences, especially going into the holiday season. We feel this partnership authentically highlights our playful personality while bringing an iconic brand like Toys'R'Us into the fold," adds Krissie Millan, Bonobos Chief Marketing Officer.

Bonobos is also partnering with Jason Biggs, leaning into his unmistakable humor and prolific acting career for supporting social-first content. In addition to this, a full marketing campaign will feature this collaboration and will be further amplified across social media and digital marketing touchpoints across Bonobos and Toys"R"Us channels.

"Geoffrey the Giraffe has been the face of fun and wonder at Toys'R'Us for over half a century," said Kim Miller, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Toys"R"Us. "Our partnership with Bonobos offers a creative way to celebrate this legacy in a fresh, exciting light. We're confident that our customers will love the blend of style and nostalgia this collection brings, reminding everyone that you're never too old to be a Toys"R"Us Kid."
