Barbie in India

$104
Includes any tariffs and taxes
Barbie has travelled to almost every country in the world, has a wardrobe more extensive than the finest of A-list celebrities of all time, and has had over 50 careers. It is no wonder that she has now been cast in the rangoli-making avatar of the serene Indian woman clad in a saree. The doll you see on this page is the same tall and curvaceous Barbie that children all over the world know and love, only with the radiant wheatish skin tone and straight black hair atypical of the women of Indian girls.

She is clad in a vibrant purple saree that is amply brocaded with glittering gold colour. The matching border of her saree is trimmed with sparkling golden lace. She is wearing dark purple bangles and a close-fitted necklace of golden beads. Her eyes are dramatically made up, as is the trend with young Indian women, complemented by red lipstick and a tiny bindi between her brow. Note the matching purple hairbrush that you may use to brush her thick tresses before a party or a pooja.

The Art of Henna and Rangoli

Adding to the authentic experience, this special edition Barbie comes with stencils for creating beautiful henna designs. Henna, or mehndi, has been an integral part of Indian culture for centuries, often used in celebrations, weddings, and festivals to adorn the hands and feet with intricate, temporary tattoos. These designs are not merely decorative; they are believed to bring good fortune and blessings. The inclusion of Rangoli designs further enhances the cultural immersion. Rangoli, a traditional art form from India, involves creating colorful patterns on the floor using materials like colored rice, dry flour, sand, or flower petals. These ephemeral artworks are made to welcome guests and deities and are often seen adorning homes during festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, symbolizing joy and prosperity. ––––––––––––––––––––

A Royal Ensemble

Barbie's ensemble is further enhanced by a shimmering gold blouse and delicate gold jewelry, including a necklace and bangles, which add a touch of regal splendor. Her dark, flowing hair and captivating eyes complete the look, presenting a sophisticated and alluring portrayal of Indian beauty. This Barbie doll is more than just a toy; she is a gateway to exploring the fascinating traditions and aesthetics of India, offering a unique opportunity for children and collectors alike to connect with a different culture. Her packaging, featuring ornate floral and butterfly motifs against a striking orange background, echoes the vibrant and decorative nature of Indian art and festivals, making her a beautiful display piece even before she's brought to life for imaginative play.
