Family Shared with parents and grandparents, with stories passed on.
Culture Thoughtful details inspired by Korean heritage.
Made for gifting The gift we wish we'd had, for birthdays, cultural celebrations and everyday moments.

“I am half South Korean and half American. Growing up I always wished for a doll that represented my Korean side, and I never found one. As an adult and mother now, as soon as I discovered JoeyDolls I knew I needed to get one for my daughter. I’m so glad I did!...”

“My daughter got Danbi for Christmas from her aunt. My husband is adopted from Korea and didn't grow up knowing much about his culture. As a white woman, I didn't know much about Korean culture either. But I think it is important for my kids to learn and be proud of their Korean heritage...”

Such a Special Birthday Gift

We got the Danbi doll for our daughter's 4th birthday, and the expression on her face when she opened her gift was truly special! She immediately recognized that the doll was a reflection of her <3

She is the perfect huggable size!

It is so well made; it looks and feels just like hanboks I've personally worn for special occasions. The product looks and feels premium, with an embroidered face and no plastic pieces. We love it so much, we are planning to get the Mei doll for Lunar New Year!

My daughter's favorite doll

Danbi is beautifully made, and reflects our Korean heritage. My Irish-Korean daughter (3yo) has so many stuffies and dolls - but I had to get this adorable doll for her when I saw it. I wasn't sure if she'd want it (or if I was really just getting it for my own happiness) but she IMMEDIATELY fell in love with the doll, and now calls for her in the night. Danbi and my daughter are now best friends and she insists on taking her everywhere - even on family vacations :).

Dolls are beautiful and my girls love them! 💖 Wish the mini dolls had different outfits than the big ones so we could collect them all from the same culture.

Great quality!

I had been looking for a Korean doll, and it is difficult to find! I was so happy to find Joey Dolls. This doll is so well made with beautiful details. Soft to hug and carry around. My six year old loves it! I love it, wish it was around when I was growing up! (Books that go well with this Danbi doll are Danbi Leads the School Parade and the Mindy Kim series) Highly recommend this wonderful doll!

We love our doll!

My mom is Korean, I’m half Korean and my kids are quarter Korean. Since we don’t live close to that side of our family, I love anything that will keep that part of us close and present. Thank you for making these dolls! I’m going to also grab the rest of Danbi’s merch!

So sweet and beautiful! #RepresentationMatters

These dolls are so beautiful. I bought a Korean one for my half-Korean’s best friend’s Irish-Korean daughter so that she can always see herself in her imaginative play with dolls and celebrate her culture and heritage 💗

So Sweet!

I love these dolls for all ages! I bought one for a Vietnamese family with a young girl, my Korean mother who is a grandmother, and my young daughter. Everyone loves their dolls. The materials are high quality and clothes are easily removable for play. We can’t wait for there to be more clothing options to buy so each doll can experience all the cultures. This has been such a beautiful way for our multicultural family to connect across generations!

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.
