FAQs
​
Do you make each doll yourself?
I get this question a lot! Yes, I do make all the dolls myself! It’s just me and my needle and thread sewing your orders! I do use a sewing machine on parts of the dolls that need that little bit extra strength but 98% of my work is hand stitched and ALL of it is carefully stitched by me alone.
How do I order a custom doll ?
To order a custom doll just head to my commissions page and follow the simple steps.
Your order confirmation will then be sent to you and you will be notified via text message and/or email, when your item has been dispatched.
What age are your dolls suitable for?
Great question! My dolls are for all ages. They are CE Marked which means that they meet essential safety requirements that are laid out in the Toy Safety Directive. I take great care when making my dolls to ensure that they no removable or harmful parts or accessories making them and suitable from birth to 101!
What are the dolls made from?
The dolls are made from 100% wool felt, 100% Cotton fabric, and organic cotton denim. They are stuffed with 100% hypo-allergenic polyester filling. All of the materials I use in making my items are safe for use in toys.
WHAT IS YOUR TURN AROUND TIME?
It can take anything from 3.5 hours to 8hrs work to complete a doll. I ask all customers to allow up to 3 weeks for completion and delivery of their item/s. I create all items on a first come first served basis. If you are placing an order as a gift and would like an item by a specific date, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE PURCHASING, to see if I am able to meet your deadline.
Do you have a real life shop?
Once upon a time I had a little pop-up shop in Camden Lock Market, back when I was known as Sugacandipop – you can read more about that.
At this moment in time, I don’t have a permanent shop as I’m having so much fun popping up at different markets, fairs and festivals in and around London.
Do you ship world wide?
Yes, I do! I ship everywhere in the world (except the U.S.A and Canada, unfortunately, at this time).
International customers may have to pay import taxes, custom fees or other charges as designated by their countries laws when they receive their package. Those fees are the responsibility of the buyer only.
Can I get my name on my doll?
Each size of doll can be personalised differently:
8-inch Baby Cuddles
= 1 initial
16inch Denim, Dude Doll
= 2 initials on their shirt pocket
16inch Lovelie Doll
=3 initials on their heart.
22inch Lovelie Doll
= Initials or Name
6 -8 characters approx
Can you design a unique
custom doll ?
All sorts are possible! If you have an pattern you want me to fabric match include a photo in your commission form & I'll send you back a selection.
If you want a completely bespoke outfit send me an email for a custom quote which will be dependent on complexity.
