Michelin dolls – cool mascots with history and character

A road icon, a piece of French history, and an absolute eye-catcher: the Michelin Man – also known as the Bibendum – is more than just a funny mascot. It's a tribute to the rich history of mobility, innovation, and craftsmanship. Whether you put one on your truck, camper, or in your man cave, a Michelin Man conveys character and class.

From world exhibition to global icon

The story of the Michelin Man begins in 1894, during the World's Fair in Lyon. The Michelin brothers saw a stack of tires, and one of them remarked, "If you add arms and legs, it'll look like a little man." Four years later, this idea became reality when cartoonist O'Galop brought the Michelin Man to life in a commercial. His name? Bibendum, derived from the Latin phrase "Nunc est bibendum" – "Now it's time to drink." Only, Bibendum didn't drink wine, but obstacles like nails and glass, symbolizing the strength of Michelin tires.

Today, Bibendum is not only a historical figure but also a beloved collector's item and a personal touch for drivers and enthusiasts around the world.
