Official Announcement<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

on March 31th 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You going to say \u00ab\u00a0Again\u00a0?!!<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb. You got used to my numerous coming back moves like an old movie star refusing to exit stage. It was a very hard choice to make<\/strong>. I\u2019ve got a warrior state of mind \u00ab\u00a0never give up, never surrender<\/em> \u00bb. I\u2019m not afraid to try anything, smash doors or scream to be heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, I must face it, my baby of 16 years<\/strong>, my company became weak without nutriments or oxygen. The only solution is unplugged it to stop the sufferings. It\u2019s a graphic picture as violent as our liberal society not very empathic towards transient difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, the doll market has deteriorated at a high speed <\/strong>(so have our french social and economic backgrounds). It has become almost impossible to work properly and humanely. All my values (the love of well done work, respect and the word given) drowned in the meanders of an ultra-fast market, eager for immediate novelties, junk-dolls to throw after consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nmade the salt of this business, the artists and designers, are no\nlonger heard or taken in reference in favor of models flavorless\ndesigns and uniformly sweetened products, easy and quick to sell. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good old business sense has even been eradicated. So no, I won\u2019t sell a 60th birthday Barbie that looks like a Christmas Barbie sold in drugstores, a new revolutionary Phyn & Aero doll but looks like the old ones, the ever same doll in a different hairstyle or an American Girl look alike in cheaper condition . The lack of creativity seen at Nuremberg ToyFair<\/a> has just speeded my decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doll world we used to know lives its last moments.<\/strong> He must re-invent itself, understand that a child today has other aspirations than dreaming of an idiot pony, that an informed collector can\u2019t be thrilled by glued glitter and cheap fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mind is ready for this fight but unfortunately not my body. I really must take time to stop the machine (which I haven’t actually done in recent years) in order to avoid the worst. As selling and trading is the most stressful and physically taxing task, I stop my sales business.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nbecause dolls are a passion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
