The Kathe Kruse Doll Studio is the oldest German doll company that is still existing and working in the traditional way. Handwork, simplicity of design, integrity, and an aversion to gimmicks and fads are still very much a part of how the dolls are made. Each doll and item of doll clothing is made by hand and takes from 16 to 36 hours to make. During that time, it will pass through the hands of 8 to 10 craftspeople and artists.
Kathe Kruse DollsThe Bath Babies made of high quality hard vinyl and with hand
painted faces. The Bath Baby loves to splash in the bathtub and the swimming
pool. Even with hair (Kanekalon wig) I can go in the water
for a maximum of 1 hour and then please dry me well and keep me warm. I am
