VancouverGirl re-imagines fashion dolls by creating new products from local waste stream materials. We have three different sustainable strategies for creating value in fashion dolls: making new dolls from old ones, giving dolls makeovers to extend their life, and exhibiting unique designer doll outfits to inspire creativity.

Toy manufacturers hasten the end of life of their products through stylistic obsolescence, leaving a waste stream of durable but forgotten dolls. These can be easily restored, and used to create new fashion dolls that better reflect the interests and values of their community while supporting local crafters.
