Why Mei

More than a doll. A connection to who they are.

Many of us never found a doll that looked like our family. Mei is the gift we wish we'd had: a way for children to connect with their Chinese family, traditions and stories from an early age.
Family Shared with parents and grandparents, with stories passed on.
Culture Thoughtful details inspired by Chinese heritage.
Made for gifting The gift we wish we'd had, for birthdays, cultural celebrations and everyday moments.

Thoughtful details, meaningful traditions

Marvelous!

This little doll is beautifully made — soft, vibrant, and full of charm. The red qipao is stunning and such a lovely way to introduce cultural diversity through play. My little one instantly fell in love with her sweet smile and carries her everywhere! She is compact and easily fits into a bag or carried by my toddler. I love that Joey Dolls celebrates different cultures in such a thoughtful and high-quality way. A perfect gift for little hands and big hearts.

very special

She's lovely and a great add to our doll collection. It means so much to have a doll that looks more like my daughter and her Japanese ancestors than other options out there. We also got the affirmation deck which is a simple and beautiful reminder to honor her cultural heritage and celebrate diversity in others. We were preorder and the communication and customer service while we anticipated the order was really amazing. This is an ANHPI-woman owned company that we're honored to support!

This little doll is so beautiful and a great way to share my culture with my daughter. She loves it and insists on sleeping with it every night.

We had a little mishap with one of the little hair tassels and customer service has been absolutely amazing on working on getting me a new one. 1000/10 experience.

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It truly means a lot to us that the doll is helping you share your culture with your daughter, and we love hearing that she sleeps with it every night. That’s so special. We’re also really glad we could help with the tassel, and we’ll make sure to keep you updated as soon as the replacement is ready. Thank you again for your 1000/10 support. We appreciate you so much!

My daughter loves her!

We bought the mini doll to test out my daughter's interest before committing to the full-sized Mei (she already has tons of stuffies and dolls) and "Mei Mei" has not left her side for the past few days! We love the details on her clothing and hair. It is very well made. Most importantly, I love that there is a doll that looks like her. Thank you!

Play with purpose

What I wished for as a child, made for yours

Growing up, I never had a doll that looked like me or celebrated where my family came from. When I became a mom and still couldn't find one for my daughter, we made them. Every Joeydoll is designed with cultural care, so more children can see themselves, their families and their traditions in everyday play.
