Toy designer Rachel Godfroy joins Host Louisa Maxwell to tell us about Sindy’s new look.

Sindy, the British fashion doll that generations of children and adults “love to dress”, is back! Sindy was originally launched by Pedigree Toys during the swinging 1960’s. A teenager with a mod wardrobe, straight out of London’s ultra fashionable Carnaby street. Sindy has returned and is again embracing the latest trends as a stylist, fashion blogger and influencer, she also enjoys dancing, riding and caring for pets too.

The new Sindy Play Range for children of all ages !

In 2020 British company Kid Kreations, launched a range of six Sindy Dolls for Collectors. The dolls are based on 1980’s Sindy with the orginal Pedigree face sculpt and a new posable body. Each doll wears a fashion reminiscent of Vintage Sindy looks - like Weekenders. The dolls are limited to editions of 1,963, the year Sindy was launched.

Now in 2021 Sindy has returned to the British High Street with a new range of dolls suitable for Sindy collectors of all ages. The Sindy Play Range includes six dolls each with their own themed playset; a fashion boutique, a bakery, a hair salon, a pet parlour, a ballet studio and a riding stable. Each doll comes in a box that can be transformed, with some paper crafting, into a set for the doll we still love to dress and collect.

In Great Britain Sindy is available now at Sainsbury’s and Argos stores. At the present time Sindy is not available internationally - for now, those of us who live outside the UK will have to rely on British friends to help us add the new Sindy to our collections. Kid Kreations are working hard to bring the new Sindy Play Range to international fans. Collector Sindy is available from: The Sindy Collectors Club
