Are your dolls full silicone?
No, our dolls are made using vinyl heads and limbs and generally a cloth body. Some dolls can be made full bodied (with a vinyl body) please get in touch for further details.
For a full silicone doll you would be looking at £1000 or more. Please be aware that some dolls on the internet are being advertisied as silicone when they are simply made from vinyl.

How do I care for my Reborn Doll?
Reborn dolls are not designed to be play items.
When brushing the hair, be delicate, the hair is hand rooted and can come out if brushed too hard. You can apply a small amount of conditioner with water into a spray bottle and apply to the hair, this will remove any "frizzyness" and allow brushes to go through the hair with a lot more ease.
Do not handle or dangle the dolls by the limbs as this could cause breakages.
The dolls are weighted with glass beading and therefore SHOULD NOT BE HANDLED by younger children.
Do not place the vinyl in contact with dark materials as the dye may transfer onto the vinyl. This is impossible to remove.
Again please remember that these are delicate hand made items and therefore should be handled with care.

There are lots of YouTube videos that show reborn dolls being bathed. These are generally silicone dolls or dolls that have been designed for this purpose. Our dolls are made using air dry paint which will come off if it they get too wet.

Are reborn dolls suitable for younger children?
No.
The dolls contain small parts and are not suitable for younger children. These dolls are not designed to be play items. Some of the softer vinyl dolls (typically the more expensive) could break if played with too much and the glass beading inside could come out.

how are your reborn dolls made?
We use vinyl kits.
Samantha herself hair paints them with air dry paints and where applicable hand roots the hair using mohair and a fine needle.
The limbs and head are then weighted with glass beading to make them heavier and feel more like a baby.
They are then connected to a cloth body.
Dressed in one outfit (typically a tutu - which we make ourselves)
