The Dolls’ Store on South Great George’s Street has been Ireland’s only specialist stockist of designer dolls, dolls’ houses and miniatures for the last 40 years.
Dreams really can come true with the exquisite range of different dolls, teddy bears and other fabulous toys of all assortments rubbing shoulders happily with each other.
Dolls in their own way have a special and unique place in all our lives; since early childhood and beyond. The Dolls store has a passion for all dolls, cuddly dolls, rag dolls, miniature dolls, even life-sized baby dolls.
The range of furniture and artefacts are second to none. The range of dolls’ houses is amazing, going from small, one or two room houses for under €100, to fully-accessorised mansions for over €1000.
Melissa, a trained porcelain doll maker, runs the ‘Teddy Hospital’, where shabby or damaged bears are sympathetically restored and given a new lease of life. All surgeries at the Dolls’ Hospital are minor and pain-free! That’s because at the store, generous doses of TLC are administered to any sick toy.
The Porcelain Doll Collection is a unique collection of dolls. The dolls are highly prized by collectors. Each doll is hand-crafted from porcelain components, the faces are hand painted in fine detail and the dolls are dressed in clothes made from exquisite materials.
The dolls make wonderful gifts for children or collectors, and they will last for many years. Every doll comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The shop also runs courses for people interested in making their own dolls.
The Vinyl Doll Collection is another range of baby dolls which are treasured collectables that will become priceless heirlooms in years to come.
The store also boasts an extensive range of accessories for both collectors and enthusiasts alike. You can get everything for your doll’s house from new wallpaper to a conservatory.
The Dolls’ Store is a great place to go in and browse. The non-electronic traditional toys, teddy bears, dolls and rocking horses give it an old-fashioned ambience. This is what Santa’s grotto must look like. The shop is open daily from Monday to Saturday.
