Do-Good Dolls

Dolls become a foundation for charitable events and auctions

Implications - A variety of items have been created and used for charitable purposes, but one of the items most commonly used are dolls.

Trend Themes
1. Charity Dolls - Dolls and teddies are being paired with brands and celebrities to launch limited edition collectibles that donate proceeds to charitable causes.
2. Celebrity Dolls - Singers and performers are partnering with major brands to launch their dolls which have a wide appeal among collectors and music fans.
3. Couture Dolls - Designer dolls recreate famous personalities and celebrities in an attempt to engage fans and attract fashion enthusiasts alike.
Industry Implications

2. Pharma/healthcare - Charitable contributions through the sale of designer dolls can help raise funds for projects that provide food, medicine and other health-related services to the needy.
3. Fashion and Apparel - Fashion brands can leverage their expertise in creating collections to design bespoke dolls and teddies with mass appeal to collectors and consumers who want to contribute to the society.
