Polish Barbie

Polish Barbie

This is an important cultural issue, IMHO...What is the opinion of Polish women on this doll?...I feel the traditional outfit is fine, but perhaps a more current Polish fashion style would be an appropriate alternative...Polish women, what do YOU say?

Inventor

Ruth Moscowitz Handler, Barbie 'Creator'

Her parents were from Poland!

The doll you're showing is missing her hair decorations. Here's a pic of what my Polish Barbie Doll looks like, mint in box.

But 'Barbie' is only about 12 inches tall and made from plastic!...I'm sure your figure is fine...But, what about a more modern 'Barbie', more contemporary?

I heard that the creator was German. He didn't follow through on his idea and Mattel developed it. Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I taught my students at Profi when I taught there.

She actually got her inspiration from a German doll called "Bild Lily" :D

Ruth Handler also had Mattel create Barbie for her own daughter. (You've heard it from the Barbie Queen, herself. I own over 300+ vintage Barbie Dolls.)

Well, she got her inspiration from a German. She found the Bild Lilli doll in a Swiss shop.
