A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Before you start.

Practical answers for planning a custom cloth or cotton doll project.

Can you develop a doll from our character artwork?

Yes. Share original artwork or designs you are authorized to use. Front, side and back views are helpful where available. We review proportions, facial details, hair and clothing before developing the sample.

Does cotton doll mean the doll is made from 100% cotton?

No. Here, cotton doll refers to a character doll format. The outer fabric and filling may use different fibers; the actual composition is selected, confirmed and labeled for the specific project.

Can we customize the face, hairstyle and body size?

Yes. Embroidered facial features, fabric hair, body dimensions and proportions can be discussed. Detail size, construction and the selected fabrics are reviewed on the physical sample.

Can the outfits be removable or interchangeable?

Removable clothing and additional outfits can be reviewed with the doll body measurements, closures and intended use. Compatibility with another doll or an existing clothing range requires measurements and sample fitting; it is not assumed.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Minimum quantities depend on materials, construction, embroidery, clothing details and the number of variants. Share your total quantity and planned quantities by doll or outfit so we can assess the project.

How long do sampling and production take?

Timing depends on body and clothing pattern development, embroidery setup, material availability, sample revisions and quantity. We review the schedule after receiving your brief and confirm it as specifications are approved.

Can the dolls be washable or suitable for children?

Care instructions and age suitability depend on the materials, decoration, fastenings, accessories and construction. Tell us the intended age group and destination market so requirements and any relevant testing can be reviewed for the finished design.

What should we send for an initial quotation?

Send character artwork, target height and body proportions, preferred materials, face and hair details, outfits and accessories, quantity, packaging needs, destination and target date. Send what you know if some details are still being developed.
