Dolling up, sustainably

Dolls are our best friends, and what better to make sure the favourite playmates for our children are also good for the planet

For centuries, ragdolls—with a history that goes back as far as Egypt—were the very first toys children played with. The advent of mass-produced plastic dolls in the last three decades drove them out of fashion.
Thanks to initiatives like The Good Gift, future generations will be able to experience their old-world charm; our favourites from the brand include the Mamma Bear and Pappa Bear sets inspired by Goldilocks, complete with miniature beds and pillows.
Hand-crafted by the women behind the Indian Yards Foundation, who recently received their “artisan” status from the Government of India, these ragdolls are stitched together using natural, upcycled fabric—making them a sustainable gift that minimises the carbon footprint.
