Our beautiful reborn babies are lovingly hand crafted for you to cherish.
Each of our reborns is hand painted using heat set paints to create realistic skin tones and detail. Each doll is weighted with fine glass beads or steel weights and virgin fibre fill to mimic the weight and feel of a real baby in your arms. They are baby scented to add to the realism. All our dolls are genuine kits purchased from UK suppliers and come with a certificate of authenticity. We do not support the buying or selling of fake kits in any way.

Reborns are not designed for young children. They are collectible items that need careful handling.
All our dolls are genuine kits purchased from UK suppliers and come with a certificate of authenticity. We do not support the buying or selling of fake kits in any way.
We are based in the UK, and all our reborn dolls are hand painted and assembled here in our UK studio.
Fine glass beads or steel weights are typically used to give the realistic weight, and virgin fibre fill is also used as a soft wadding.
Hair is sometimes hand rooted using high quality fine mohair, but often hand painted or drawn.
At the moment we are not making bespoke dolls - but keep checking back as this may change.
It varies from doll to doll, and the eBay listing will tell you. Typically you get a magnetic dummy, a nappy, a blanket, a change of outfit, a birth certificate and a care sheet.
All the sales are currently through eBay and each listing will provide the details.
The included care sheet will explain this, but basic requirements include the following:
Handle the reborn like a real baby including supporting the head.
Keep the doll away from extreme heat and cold, and strong sunlight.
Don't use chemicals to clean the baby. Just wiping gently with warm soapy water is enough.
Occasional changing of the baby's outfit should be done carefully without forcing the limbs.
Excessive touching can affect the paint finishes over time so clean dry hands are essential to minimise this.
The magnet and fine glass beads inside reborns can be dangerous if exposed, so are not suitable for young children or people with pacemakers.
