Battat, through its Our Generation brand, has introduced the Keepsake Collection — a new series of limited-edition seasonal dolls rolling out throughout 2026 and available at Target.
The Keepsake Collection begins with the Easter-themed dolls Sunny and Blossom, who wear pastel dresses decorated with glittery bunnies and bloom-adorned headbands featuring fluffy cotton tails. These toys capture the spirit of spring.
Following this release, the Our Generation lineup will shift to patriotic designs in honor of the United States' 250th anniversary, with dolls named Starla and Skylie dressed in star-spangled outfits incorporating iridescent prints and embellished bodices that reflect the colors of the American flag. Each doll in the series is priced under thirty-five dollars and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Subsequent releases are planned throughout the year to correspond with various holidays and celebrations.
