Alexander Girard & Marilyn Neuhart’s dolls




When I was a kid we used to saw our own dolls at school, during art classes. Not that they were very pretty or worth remembering, but these cuties reminded me of good old times...

Alexander Girard was so smitten with Marilyn Neuhart’s dolls that he asked her to make 100 for the 1961 opening of his Textile & Objects store. Since they were the catalyst for his creative partnership with the Neuharts, we asked Marilyn to create four new designs. Made in the USA with Mexican cotton from the same family-owned mill that she used for her originals.
