Mel and Steff Collectable Doll 16

Doll 16   Dark skin tone, hair in plaits tied with red ribbon, spotted dress, white collar, white trim on pockets, black suede shoes.

The philosophy at Mell & Steff is to create little people that resemble children from all walks of life, spanning across the globe, across a multitude of ethnicities.  Lovingly handmade, each little doll encompasses features that not only represent but celebrate the beauty of diversity.

The dolls are hand made each doll is individually cut, sewn and stuffed, faces are hand-drawn and the embroider with the finest of stitches, yarn for hair is wrapped around a template then cut and sewn ready to be attached by hand to the doll, outfits are cut and sewn individually. Each doll is handcrafted by skilled artisans, therefore the rag dolls are just like little people, some cheeky, some cute, and no two are alike.

I have been selling Mel and Steff dolls for over 40 years, and it still amazes me to see the joy on a child’s face when an adult purchases one of these dolls for them.
