I recently visited Holland with my family, and just like i did in Sweden and Germany, I thought it would be great to bring back a « Dolls Of the World » Barbie. So i got myself a present : a beautiful Dutch barbie from 1993.
1993 you say? Not very 80’s. True.
But even though i mostly collect dolls from 1980 to 1989, i actually collect all the Superstar Era dolls.
Some people say the Superstar Era is from 1976 to 1990, when Mattel stopped using the big logo we love and some people say it’s from 1976 to 1997 when they stopped using the Superstar mold. I’m not sure where i stand on that matter but i do love some 90’s dolls so… Here we are :)

| Dutch Barbie #11104 - 1993 |
Just like all the others DOTW, Dutch Barbie comes with a traditional outfit and some knowledge about her country.
Her outfit is made of a beautiful dress with a blue bodice and a stripped skirt with an embroidered apron.
Underneath it is a petticoat with embroidered flowers and some old fashioned lace panties.
I have to say I'm always amazed with the quality of the DOTW clothes.
The other reason why i love DOTW so much is their hair and make up, it feels unique and give them such great personality. It's more obvious on earlier dolls but this one does have amazing hair!
This lovely doll comes with clogs, a blue brush and a stand.
Hope you will like this doll as much as i do and i leave you with a little picture souvenir from Barbie in Holland!
Tot Ziens!
