Toy designer Rachel Godfroy joins Host Louisa Maxwell to tell us about Sindy’s new look.
Sindy, the British fashion doll that generations of children and adults “love to dress”, is back! Sindy was originally launched by Pedigree Toys during the swinging 1960's. A teenager with a mod wardrobe, straight out of London’s ultra fashionable Carnaby street. Sindy has returned and is again embracing the latest trends as a stylist, fashion blogger and influencer, she also enjoys dancing, riding and caring for pets too.
In 2020 British company Kid Kreations, launched a range of six Sindy Dolls for Collectors. The dolls are based on 1980’s Sindy with the original Pedigree face sculpt and a new posable body. Each doll wears a fashion reminiscent of Vintage Sindy looks like - Weekenders . The dolls are limited to editions of 1,963, the year Sindy was launched.
Now in 2021 Sindy has returned to the British High Street with a new range of dolls suitable for Sindy collectors of all ages. The Sindy Play Range includes six dolls each with their own themed play set; a fashion boutique, a bakery, a hair salon, a pet parlour, a ballet studio and a riding stable. Each doll comes in a box that can be transformed, with some paper crafting, into a set for the doll we still love to dress and collect.
