 Eye for Ebony

You will find 100+ dolls from black owned brands in this post to suit a range of tastes and budgets.  These include 18 inch dolls, boy dolls, rag and mermaid dolls, collector’s items and more. 

As I seek out dolls for friends and family, I have found authentic representation in black owned brands.  That is, dolls that represent a cross section of African likeness and style, capturing the nuances of hair texture, facial features, skin tone, personality, and more. Watching the reactions of children when they see and play with these dolls is rewarding.  Though they may not be able to articulate the resemblances and familiarity, their reactions speak louder than words.   See the following companies and product links for more information.
