Our values

Barbie doll before repair and after repair including blemish removal, cleaning and dressing.

stop useful, and loved, things being thrown away

It's amazing the difference a bit of TLC can make to that item that otherwise looks unpromising. We return many things refreshed to their loving homes and find new homes for many other things. We accept donations of dolls and toys in any condition.

repair, reuse, recycle, reclaim and refurbish

We use reclaimed and recycled materials wherever possible and appropriate. Many of our materials are sourced from local charity shops such as The Sewing Basket at Newington.

take inspiration from the past to make beautiful things for the future

We find inspiration in the work of designers and makers both past and present. All our creations are bespoke and made individually for each doll or toy.

think locally

We source our materials as close to home as possible. We always use local and Australian suppliers where possible. We also offer free local pick up and delivery.

keep traditional skills alive

Our ancestors were makers and creators. They have passed down to us many useful skills. 

support the community

We support local charities by sourcing materials from them, and by donating rescued and refurbished dolls and toys.

keep prices reasonable

Because we use reclaimed materials whenever possible we can keep our prices reasonable. We can complete repairs to a budget. We don't do any work beyond what is essential or requested.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work

We pay our respects to the Dharug people who are the traditional custodians of the land of Parramatta.
