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.
We are all made of high quality hard vinyl and have a soft cloth body, which
is filled with synthetic granules. Tha arms and legs dangle softly and the
head, like a baby, rests gently in your arms. The faces are tenderly and individually
hand painted, with baby blue and gentle brown eyes. The hair is painted
delicately in brown. My fortune has a Kanekalon wig. Hand washable with
WooliteR or gentle laundry detergent. Please air dry well. Mini Bambina
