Why Hoa

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

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

Truly special!

I came across these beautiful dolls online and ordered both the Hoa and Mei dolls for my daughter for Christmas. My daughter being both Vietnamese and Chinese, I wanted to gift her something she can resonate with. When my daughter saw these dolls for the first time, she immediately said they look like me!! That moment was truly what I hoped for and so special as a mom! She loves these dolls and enjoys playing with them everyday. I also bought an extra ao dai set for her Hoa doll. So adorable!

Also, a big thank you to Samantha for the amazing customer service. When I first received the Mei doll, I noticed the stitching being a bit off one of her eyes. I emailed Samantha and she responded very quickly to help me exchange for a new doll. I appreciate her kindness and quick turnaround for a new one to be mailed to me!

I can’t recommend these dolls enough! Beautifully crafted while bringing culture and diversity to our homes for all the Asian little girls! ♥️

Sucha great doll!

I love the size of the doll where it's big enough to grow up with my baby. I also like the ability to change the doll's clothing as we got the additional pink Thuong dress to help play dress up. I just wish there was a way to change out the headbands too but it's overall a great representative toy for our daughters to enjoy.

Definitely recommended! Love it!

Growing up, I never had an official doll to play with that represented my culture. This is perfect! I love how soft it is so that it can work for young ones, and it’s beautiful enough to be kept on display when not in use.

Beautiful dolls

I treasure these dolls. They are beautifully made and I got both a Vietnamese doll and a Japanese doll so that my girls could have both of their cultures represented in the toys around them. They are soft, carefully designed, and just the right size to hold and hug for my little ones.

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.
