Kathe Kruse Dolls
Käthe Kruse Dolls - a German Legend
The Käthe Kruse Doll Studio is the oldest German doll company that is still existing and working in the traditional way. Handwork, simplicity of design, integrity, and an aversion to gimmicks and fads are still very much a part of how the dolls are made. Each doll and item of doll clothing is made by hand and takes from 16 to 36 hours to make. During that time, it will pass through the hands of 8 to 10 craftspeople and artists.
“The hand follows the heart...”…This is and has been Käthe Kruse’s workshop motto for nearly 100 years. “A doll has to be something a child can love”, another one of Käthe Kruse’s mantras. One hundred years later all dolls and toys are still made by hand. Hugging, grabbing, listening, touching, feeling, splashing, laughing, delighting, loving, all these terms represent a Käthe Kruse toy. Children’s needs are the focus when choosing designs and fabrics and natural materials are used as much as possible. To see more Kathe Kruse toys and dolls, visit http://www.kaethekrusepuppe.de
