Why Mei
More than a doll. A little piece of home.
For many of us, there was no doll like this growing up. Mei helps children see more of their Chinese heritage, family and traditions reflected in everyday play, so they can feel seen, celebrated and proud of who they are.
From our community
Families who love Mei
“The perfect doll for any aged child. My daughter is 6 months and seeing her interact with her first Joeydoll was so special. I can’t wait to see her grow up with her Joey doll and also have a piece of her heritage. It’s a fantastic gift idea, and I really appreciate this company’s mission...”
“We got this so that my daughter will have a doll that looks like her when she is old enough to play. However, I don’t think we will be able to wait until she’s a toddler! She’s 8 months old and is already so in love with Mei! The best part is that her 100 day celebration dress was very similar!”
“My daughter loves her Chinese Mei doll. I am so happy to have found a company that has dolls that represent so many different cultures. The dolls are well made and beautiful! My daughter loves to bring it to school and show it off to her friends. Wish they had this when I was younger.”
“This doll is absolutely beautiful and well made! I bought so many dolls as gifts and every single doll is so well loved and played with. What sealed my 5-star rating was their true washable feature! After a spaghetti dinner one night, all I heard was “oh no, Mei!...”
“My daughter absolutely loves her doll, Mei — it's such a beautiful reflection of her. She was thrilled to see herself represented, and I really appreciate how this brand thoughtfully celebrates Asian cultures in such a unique and inclusive way...”
““Mei” was a hit this Christmas with our big girls! Having grown up playing with American Girl brand dolls and sewing clothes for them, my daughters appreciated all the details in Mei’s outfit - the knot buttons, Velcro side for easy of outfit changes, hair accessories, and matching removable shoes!...”

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.
