Hoptimist Small Bumble White H: 7.5 cm, Ø: 5 cm Classic Hoptimist from the happy sixties Smiles are contagious. That's good, because smiles spread joy, hope and optimism. And this is exactly what the Hoptimists have been doing since the 1960s. Although the 1960s are known as "the happy sixties", this decade was also a time full of social unrest. However, the belief in a better future was strong, and Gustav Ehrenreich's Hoptimists were an attempt to create cheerfulness. And he succeeded. With their round, harmonious appearance, the classic Hoptimists are a timeless invitation to be positive and optimistic. The colours are clear and cheerful, and with their graceful, undaunted feathery hops, these figures manage to lift the spirits far and wide.
