My London Girl, the UK’s first Doll Boutique set to launch for Xmas 2011
July 13, 2011
My London Girl will be launching with a store in Westfield later this year in time for the Christmas season hoping to catch girls aged 3-12 in time for the party season with a fashion range made for both owner and doll designed by David Charles.
Well known as a designer of girls party dresses stocked in upmarket boutiques and Harrods for many years now and an exhibitor at the Pitti Bimbo fashion fair in Florence, David Charles is a well established name but this must have been his most unusual task of all.
Inspired by a US concept doll store where the Mini Me dolls are attached to a full on lifestyle branding but with a more fun and relaxed attitude for the UK, the range is produced by child educator Kathryn Fleetwood-Neagle and her husband Paul Neagle.
The 42cm dolls are available in seven different skin tones and with 25 outfits and there are fourteen baby dolls too, prices will start from £40 for the baby dolls, £79 for the 49cm dolls and outfits from £20 for dolls and from £35 for the girls themselves with a whole range of additional accessories. I will post an online link when it becomes available.
