About this product

Product Information

Sindy was introduced at the beginning of the Swinging Sixties in 1962, along with a range of fashion-conscious clothes, and went on to become the best-selling teenage fashion doll in Great Britain. There is hardly a girl in Britain who has not possessed a Sindy doll at some time in her life, Sindy's popularity having no barriers of social status or class. Accompanied by her boyfriend Paul and kid sister Patch, the dolls' clothes originated from designers such as Mary Quant, Hardy Amies and latterly, David and Elizabeth Emmanuel. The author traces the history of Sindy's development, and the text, together with numerous illustrations, aims to provide an informative reference both for collectors and those interested in fashions and lifestyles of the 1960s and 1970s. Colette Mansell, herself a doll collector and dollmaker, has also written The Collector's Guide to British Dolls .
