Many people think that Barbie is too trivial and there is nothing special about it, but it is definitely not true. Below I have some interesting facts about this doll and how it was born.

In fact, there are a lot of stories about where Barbie Silkstone got its name from. I can tell you that it happened in 2000. The chief designer of this line was Robert Best, one of the leading designers of the Mattel collection line. The concept of this line was to return to classic images of Barbie dolls and fashion of 1950-1960s. So the doll was first sold in lingerie and outfits had to be bought separately. The outfits were made of quality fabrics, dress styles were very elegant. The sets included stylish accessories. Therefore, adult collectors fell in love with this doll at once, and it became an instant hit, and in the following years it became super popular.

Why was the doll called Silkstone?

The head of the Barbie Silkstone doll is made of vinyl. The body is made up of resin, sand and quartz composite. This composition is an innovation in the toy industry. The company named this material – silk stone (Silkstone). This is a great tactile sensation – to hold such a doll in your hands. It does not look like rubber dolls. The material is easy to clean and is practically unaffected by temperatures and sunlight. Thanks to the nature of this material, the lines of the body are clearer, sculptors were able to make the toes and hands more elegant. This is another plus to the purchase of Barbie Silkstone.
