How did the Russian dolls designs come about? Well, up until very recently, when people imagined a trypical Russian
woman, she would always be wearing some sort of shawl covering her
head. Even now, the woman with the headscarf is a stereotype of
Russian culture as it still remains one of the original clothing
accessories for women. This little Russian doll with expressive
eyes tells the tale of this fashion. The colour of dolls can vary
from set to set (red, pink, blue, etc)
As all our Russian dolls are hand painted by artists there may be variations
and differences between those pictured on our website and the ones
you will receive. Every doll is unique as artists tend to add something
different to each and every doll set they paint. That’s why Russian
dolls are somehow a reflection of a mood of the artist painting
it in that particular moment. Russian dolls, as in life itself, may
have their own features, characters, colours and moods and can be
truly unique to you.
All our Russian dolls are hollow inside (apart from the last, smallest
doll of each set), they all open in half and fit inside each other.
Please note that there may be some bright spots on the pictures of some Russian dolls on our website, resulting from photo camera flash and
lights. The actual Russian dolls that you will receive will not
have any of those spots.
