Down memory lane

 10 years ago, I was visiting the factory, working on the prototypes and starting the ad campaign.  

In fact pre-production started in 2015!

That first capsule collection of clothes was by the talented Dal Rosario Lowenbein . She really helped me get Anouk off the ground and I'm forever grateful to her.

We've come a long way, and its all thanks to all of you.🙏🏻

With the head of production at the factory.

Thank You🙏🏻

A big thank you to all who bought, liked and commented positively on the Anniversary Anouk dolls. Your support means so much to me. 

There was quite the campaign from others to undermine and distract from the launch of this doll but, I'm happy and grateful that it was unsuccessful. 

To those who couldn't get one, I"m very sorry.

I've saved some to take to the Rome convention in November, but if there's any left after that, I will offer them here again.

I will be preparing and shipping your orders next week. 

Sincere thanks.

Anniversary Anouk: in all her glory.

Here are some product shots of the anniversary Anouk doll. These are a very accurate representation of how the doll actually looks.

I have always loved the vintage beauty queen dolls. Tammy, Francie, Tressy etc all had their take on that theme.

So when I was designing this special anniversary doll i knew I wanted to present my own take on vintage beauty pageant glamour. But in Anouk's signature, understated way.

Once I had designed the doll, I thought that there needed to be a variation and second option. So the Black doll version was born. She is a perfect foil for the Caucasian doll, and she has a very distinct personality.

The beautiful gowns were made by Victoria Movichi.  She is a very talented and exiting new collaborator. Check her out on instagram under her Instagram  ID: dolls.clothes.

Extremely limited edition. 50 dolls only.

Tomorrow I will announce the purchasing procedure for the launch on Sunday.
