We have some charming new dolls for you, from a new brand to us: Llorens.
I came across them at the Nuremberg Toy Fair as I looked into the space where WeGirls was last year. Llorens is predominantly a baby doll brand, but on the centre table the dolls were a little more grown up. As I approached I took in their poses and characteristics; heads were tilted, arms raised and held at angles, cute clothing, knobbly little knees, thick luxurious hair, sparkling inset eyes with fibre eyelashes. They were so charming! Travelling abroad to the toy fairs it's always the hope to find something new and exciting that customers will love, and if I were a customer of My Doll Best Friend - I'd love these I thought!!!
The booth was well organised, with the owner of the company there, plus an assistant and a professional translator. Llorens dolls are made in southern Spain, and the Spanish and English often don't speak each other's languages so it's great when they have a translator on hand. Paola Reina also have a translator, but Vestida de Azul does not, and we have to get by in French which I think by the sound of it we both speak once a year at the toy fair! The Llorens dolls pictured are prototypes taken to the toy fair ahead of production for feedback, so I was advised that their clothing would change a little and that there would be a fourth doll in the collection.
Their names are Angelina, Olga, Sophie and Helene.
The quality will be excellent as they're made in the same factory at the Petitcollin Sylvia Natterer dolls - so we know it will be!
