Adora Debuts 15 New Dolls in Limited Edition Collection

Adora, one of the leading designers and crafters of fine limited edition and collectible dolls, announces the introduction of 15 new dolls to its Limited Edition Collection, including one brand new face sculpt. The dolls in the 2008 Limited Edition Collection are costumed in international garb, representing countries from around the globe. Authentic fabrics and materials were used to craft costumes that illustrate the rich cultural traditions of the countries and continents represented. The dolls are 22″ tall and retail for $140 - $180.00. Many editions are available in quantities of less than 300, further adding to the dolls’ rarity. In particular, Adora is well-known for capturing the beauty and ethnicity of its Asian and Polynesian babies, which include for 2008: Ulani from Tahiti, Kamala from Nepal, Sujatmi from Indonesia, Qian Ni from China.
Each doll in the Limited Edition Collection wears its very own heart shaped locket, inscribed with its name, limited edition number and “Adora, Inc. 2007 Collection.” The center of the locket contains a second, double sided heart that spins to reveal a miniature photo of the doll on one side and the Adora, Inc. logo on the other.


iplay babywear goes organic and stays affordable

i play.® has launched a new line of 100% Organic Cotton – something different, something special, something more than the ordinary for baby. i play.® , Organic Cotton Baby Products, supports creating a more sustainable planet while simultaneously providing alternatively stylish clothing for the next generation. 

i play.® has created a new place for organic baby clothes, breaking the mold of the color combinations of naturally white and ecru. i play.® offers organic cotton knit layette & eco circle fleece winter wear, made from recycled products, for babies including gowns, bodysuits, caps, bibs, booties, blankets, and outerwear in soft pastels, featuring “forest friends” that are stitched on each piece of clothing. And i play.® summer wear coordinates with eco circle fleece winter wear. 

One of the unique features i play.® offers is unique outer stitching on the garments. All of the seams are on the outside, so there are no rough edges rubbing against baby’s skin. Additionally, i play.® Organic Cotton Baby Clothes have carved out another niche and are some of the most affordable organic cotton baby clothes available for extraordinary parents. 

Founder of i play.® Organic Cotton Babywear, Becky Cannon, has been a long time friend and advocate of the organic movement and was a visionary before organics came into vogue. Becky was keenly aware of the benefits of organic and pesticide and chemical-free farming and offered natural fiber cotton wear in 1992 – serving noted companies such as Seventh Generation and Coop America. At that time, the demand for these products was low and they were discontinued due to lack of sales. 

i play. launched new organic wear in 1995 with a complete layette line. Becky thought parents were more educated and would see the value of organic clothing for both the environment and for their children. Again, the market was not strong enough to support organic cotton babywear. 

Fast forward to 2007, and welcome i play.® Organic Cotton - i play.® is better for the environment and baby, as well as soft, comfortable, chemical-free, produced without any harsh chemical bleaches or dyes, has nickel free snaps, and is more durable than regular cotton. The line has an edge over competitors with fashion-forward style at a reasonable price.
