Heritage | MISS KIKI of Cherry Blossom Lane

OUR STORY

Artistically designed and beautifully handcrafted, MISS KIKI of Cherry Blossom Lane® is an Australian label with a boutique collection of unique, petite one of a kind cloth companion dolls for collection, keepsake or play.

Established in 2011 by Kate Getgood, MISS KIKI of Cherry Blossom Lane® promptly became a sought after label with its unique design and beautiful quality product. Following the birth of her daughter, Kate was inspired to create a vintage style, unique doll that was both beautiful and yet practical for quite a little person to handle. After designing and creating her vision, the first ever MISS KIKI doll came to fruition and the MISS KIKI of Cherry Blossom Lane® brand was born. Kate's mission is to deliver an entirely artisan handcrafted collection of designer dolls into the hearts of our most treasured children around the globe. To ensure dutiful care is taken to provide enchanting detail on every MISS KIKI doll, each being uniquely 1 of its kind. They are to be admired, to evoke imaginative play and to encourage wonderful feelings of love, care and comfort to children, investing so much of their innocent youth in the wonderment of play. Miss Kiki Dolls are created with the finest designer fabrics and linens, laces and embellishments sourced from around the world. Artisan handcrafted affords the desire that each child may have a one of a kind doll, unique to them and, this is an incredibly special and beautiful reality of the MISS KIKI brand. Though conceived as a practical and petite range for children, the uniqueness and intricate nature of the MISS KIKI brand has aspired ladies collecting them worldwide.

Today, you will find the Miss Kiki of Cherry Blossom Lane® Collection in beautiful exclusive boutiques across Australia and New Zealand. Kate works in her Adelaide studio with a small group of selected local artists joining her in the design and creative process to meet the ever increasing demand of her dolls both Australia-wide and internationally. Pieces from her Collection are owned by some of the most famous families around the world, with custom personalised dolls created for the children of many well known parents, including Royalty.

Miss Kiki of Cherry Blossom Lane® is Australian owned, designed and made. All pieces are beautifully handcrafted in Kate's quaint studio, with exception only for the Destiny Rescue Collection which are fair trade handmade by girls rescued out of slavery and trafficking in Thailand, to provide them with employment and promote their cause under the stability of the Miss Kiki brand.

A word from Kate...

"Grounded in my initial vision for the MISS KIKI label, in truth I find it difficult to part with our petite companions as they come to life at final stitch and many adorn the shelves of our studio. It continually warms my heart to know they will be much loved, journeying through life as an adored companion of one incredibly unique little person. A doll to treasure throughout their childhood and to pass down in pristine condition through generations with a grand story of a previous life. This is the quality of which you can be assured when buying a handcrafted doll. Success to me is quite simply that the work of my hands is loved by little hands. A heart full of imagination, excitement and love. That smile on a child's face, in knowing the true personality of their loved companion that I, it's creator, do not even know... that is wonderfully precious.

So take a moment, and enjoy your stroll down Cherry Blossom Lane. Created with love, a passion for art, beauty and with a careful hand, I do so hope you find our dolls inspiring, unique and beautiful."
