With a spanish barbie - Spanish Barbie & Company

A limited Japanese collector model, there are only five hundred of these black-lace marvels in circulation worldwide.

Originally around the age of eight, she was changed to a young teenager later on.

She wears an authentic Peruvian dress and shawl in vibrant multicolored fabric reflecting the excitement, passion and beauty of Peruvian culture.

She was paired with Allan Sherwood, Ken's best friend, when Allan was introduced in 1964.

She has blue eyes, and is found in blonde, brunette and redhead styles the redhead possibly being a result of the brunette hair oxidising, as happens with Christie dolls as well.

Between the faux-fur stole and the floor-length black gown, the doll gives off a signature presence, one of pure elegance and red-carpet charm.
