Notes
Storybook Heirlooms is known for their "over-the-top"
fancy, girls special occasion clothing. The company no longer makes
dolls but they are still in business. Their sojourn into doll making was
fairly brief and Chantelle was the first. She was replaced after a year
by Savannah, who is her best friend in her
books.
Chantelle was supposed to look like one of the beautiful catalog
models,
Chantelle Paige, who is now a singer/songwriter. This is a picture
of Chantelle when she was around eight when the doll was sculpted.
Obviously, the sculptor didn't succeed in making the vinyl Chantelle as
pretty as the real Chantelle.
There were matching girl/doll dresses for Chantelle, accessories
like underthings, shoes and socks, a book and paperdolls. You can see
the whole line in the Chantelle Catalog
Pages.
The doll is shorter and smaller than American Girl dolls in many ways
but the cloth torso is of a similar size so most American Girl clothing
fits fine (and Chantelle's clothing will fit American Girls). |
