Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, this guide has what you need to enjoy the world of doll collecting. 🥰

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.

Reborn Doll Artists and Companies in America

In the United States, there are many talented doll artists and companies that make lifelike reborn dolls. These dolls look like real babies and are popular among collectors. Some popular companies like Paradise Galleries collaborate with skilled doll artists to produce authentic doll sculpts.

If  you enjoy making things yourself, you can buy kits from artists like Bountiful Baby. These kits let you create your own reborn doll with all the details you want. You can also find many independent artists selling their reborn dolls online.

Research: Spend some time researching to find trustworthy sources for your reborn dolls. Look for reviews, testimonials, and examples of their work. 

Authenticity:  When buying reborn dolls, look for authenticity and craftsmanship. Hand-painted dolls by skilled artists will give you the lifelike appearance you desire.

Budgeting:  Decide on a budget for your collection. While some reborn dolls can be pricey, there are also affordable options available.

Personal Connection:  Choose dolls that speak to you personally. Whether it's the artist's style or a specific theme, collecting reborn dolls should bring you joy and fulfillment.

Tips for Storing Reborn Dolls

Properly storing your reborn dolls is important for preserving their beauty and quality over time. Here are some tips to help keep your collection in great condition

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep your reborn dolls away from sunlight to prevent fading and damage. Store them in a cool, dark place away from windows.

Dusting and Cleaning:  Regularly dust your reborn dolls using a soft, dry cloth to remove any accumulated dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning agents.

Display Cases:  Consider investing in display cases or cabinets to showcase your reborn dolls while also protecting them from dust and handling.

Climate Control:  Keep your reborn dolls in a stable environment with moderate temperature and humidity to prevent damage. Avoid storing them in places like attics or basements prone to temperature swings.
