Care
To keep your doll adventure-ready, spot clean with mild soap or machine wash on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag and air dry.

A childhood reimagined

Thoughtfully made with care
Every Joeydoll is created with intention and care, with thoughtful details you can feel confident bringing into your child’s world.
“As a Filipino mum raising kids away from the village and stories I grew up with… this is the doll I wish I had growing up.”
