Our Story
Welcome to The Pretty Doll Emporium.
The Pretty Doll Emporium is a family-owned, mother-daughter business based in Australia. Our story began with a simple wish to reconnect with childhood memories. While searching for fashion dolls that had once been loved, a passion for collecting was rediscovered, inspiring what would eventually become The Pretty Doll Emporium.
As our collection grew, so did our vision. We began sourcing dolls that needed a little extra care, and along the way discovered that our different passions naturally complemented one another. One of us found joy in collecting, researching and preserving fashion dolls, while the other developed a passion for restoring dolls and creating realistic handmade miniatures.
Together, those passions have shaped The Pretty Doll Emporium into what it is today—a place where collectors can discover thoughtfully prepared dolls, beautiful handmade pieces and the little treasures that make every collection unique.
Whether you're searching for a cherished childhood favourite, completing a collection or simply hoping to discover something unexpected, we hope The Pretty Doll Emporium becomes a place you'll enjoy returning to, where every visit offers the possibility of discovering your next treasured find.
Our Promise
At The Pretty Doll Emporium, every doll is carefully prepared with collectors in mind, so it's ready to be displayed and enjoyed from the moment it arrives.
Each doll that passes through our emporium is treated with the same care and attention we would give our own collection. We carefully wash and restore hairstyles to reflect each doll's original appearance, then thoroughly research and identify every doll before it is listed. Using our continually expanding in-house reference database, alongside trusted collector resources, each doll is carefully cross-checked multiple times to give you confidence in every purchase.
We take great care to reunite dolls with their original clothing and accessories wherever possible, distinguish authentic items from reproductions or unconfirmed pieces, and clearly document any missing items or imperfections through detailed descriptions and photographs, allowing you to shop with complete confidence.
The same care and attention is given to every item we sell, whether it's an outfit, a piece of furniture, a handmade accessory or a miniature treasure for your dollhouse.
From the moment you place an order, we're committed to providing clear, friendly communication and carefully packaging every purchase so it arrives safely and in the same beautiful condition in which it left our emporium, ready to become a treasured part of its next collection.
Our Collection
Our collection has been lovingly built over many years, bringing together treasured fashion dolls from our own family collection alongside carefully sourced dolls and accessories. As our emporium continues to grow, we're always searching for beautiful new additions to share with fellow collectors.
From beloved vintage favourites to modern fashion dolls, our collection celebrates generations of collecting. Whether you collect Sindy, Barbie, Bratz, My Scene or one of the many other fashion doll lines we stock, we hope you'll discover pieces that bring joy to your collection.
Alongside our dolls, you'll find clothing, shoes, furniture, accessories, handmade miniatures and collectible miniatures, carefully chosen to help complete displays, restore treasured dolls or bring dollhouses to life. As The Pretty Doll Emporium continues to grow, we also look forward to introducing one-of-a-kind (OOAK) dolls and expanding our range of handcrafted creations.
Whether you're searching for a cherished childhood favourite, replacing a missing accessory, furnishing a dollhouse or simply browsing for inspiration, we hope every visit feels like a treasure hunt, with something new always waiting to be discovered.
