Our journey
Making dolls has been the most beautiful and unexpected surprise of my creative journey. I was a children's clothes designer for more than a decade when one day, I created my first doll for a client. With some simple cotton, yarn and stuffing, a little character came to life... I created something magical, half object, half person that could express dreams, hopes and emotions. I made hundreds of dolls by hand, then thousands, slowly refining my concept and designs over the years and expanding my sales to the entire world. We opened the first and only doll making studio in New York in 2022 and opened a new branch in the Tampa Bay Area in 2024.
