The Birth of Reborn Dolls
Reborn dolls, also called reborns or reborn babies, started in the early 1990s, primarily as a response to the increasing demand for more realistic and lifelike dolls. While traditional dolls were charming in their own right, there was a growing desire among collectors and enthusiasts for dolls that closely resembled real infants. Now, reborn dolls are really popular with collectors, artists who make dolls, and even people who use them for therapy.
