Our newest edition is inspired by the Grodnertal dolls, handmade treasures from the 18th and 19th centuries. Much like Barbie in the modern era, these dolls were cultural icons. They were sold bare, but in their simplicity lived magic. Each doll was a blank canvas and sparked creativity among children and collectors to make their original clothing. Queen Victoria owned over 200, each with its own wardrobe.

These dolls were once forgotten with the spread of mass production. But one woman, Judith Sotriffer, is still creating them by hand in Italy’s Val Gardena valley, where the Grodnertals were first born centuries ago. We were thrilled to embark on a creative journey with her.

This story serves as the backdrop of the edition, as it embodies values we hold dear: craftsmanship, creativity, tradition, and playfulness. It also connects with the classical ballet, another world of precision, beauty, and perfection. From Coppélia to ballerina figurines, dolls and dance have long shared a stage.

With great joy, we unveil the vivant charm of JAC DollHouse, an edition shaped by hands, heart, and history.
