Paradise Galleries Introduces Preferred Collector Exclusives

You spoke and we listened.

This year, the Paradise Galleries design team is working on a line of dolls, specifically based in the things that we know you  want. 

And what's more, we're unveiling them exclusively online.

Our first Preferred Collector Exclusive doll is Su-Lin..

She's cute & playful, but you'll have to wait until February 1st to meet her, exclusively on our website.

What do you think of her so far?

What are some other dolls you'd like to see from Paradise? You never know, your idea might be the inspiration behind our next Preferred Collector Exclusive! So don't be shy!

Happy Universal Children's Day!

We know that to many of our customers, our baby dolls are not just a collectible or an object - they become family in the way that we cherish them, create memories with them and care for them like children!

Whether they're sleeping baby dolls, children with big smiles on their face or precious ensembles that have it all!

We know what it's like to love these dolls as if their your own babies!

Happy Universal Children's Day from Paradise Galleries! We hope that for many of you our dolls have been a great addition to your family!

Labor of Love at Paradise!

For many of us, taking a day off of work is a welcomed addition to any normal work schedule. Maybe you had a cook-off this weekend, went hiking or simply chose the solace of your own couch. Whatever you chose to do, it was well deserved!

Labor Day is the day when you get to celebrate the everyday things you do at work to make your jobs more rewarding and to help create better companies. Down to the smallest gestures that no one may ever notice, we hope you took time to give yourself a pat on the back for all that you do!

ALL NEW "Picture Day"

At Paradise Galleries, it's difficult to label what we do "work". Although we continuously strive and "labor" to create the world's most realistic baby dolls, when you love them as much as we do, it's only natural to consider it a "labor of love". It's one that makes us just as happy as it makes you!

We hope you had a wonderful Labor Day from the Paradise family!
