Stylish French Fashion Dolls

 

Visiting from France, not far from Versailles, are the charming Lucy and Gina. Each sweetly peculiar Modette doll is handmade by designer Sophie Palhares. The dolls are 100% cotton including their stuffing, and wear wool felt boots and one-of-a-kind dresses designed and sewn by Sophie herself. I especially love the crisp details of the dolls' painted on faces. Both dolls, along with their friend Marcus are for sale at craftsburykids.com.
