Dolling up, sustainably

Dolls are our best friends, and what better to make sure the favourite playmates for our children are also good for the planet

Dolling up, sustainably

For centuries, ragdolls—with a history that goes back as far as Egypt—were the very first toys children played with. The advent of mass-produced plastic dolls in the last three decades drove them out of fashion.



Thanks to initiatives like The Good Gift, future generations will be able to experience their old-world charm; our favourites from the brand include the Mamma Bear and Pappa Bear sets inspired by Goldilocks, complete with miniature beds and pillows.


Hand-crafted by the women behind the Indian Yards Foundation, who recently received their “artisan” status from the Government of India, these ragdolls are stitched together using natural, upcycled fabric—making them a sustainable gift that minimises the carbon footprint.
