Height: 17cm

A highly collectible original first edition Pippa fashion doll produced by Palitoy during the early years of the iconic Pippa range in the 1970s.

Created as Britain’s answer to larger fashion dolls, Pippa became one of the most successful British toy lines of the decade, with an enormous range of fashions, accessories and playsets.

This example features Pippa’s classic blonde rooted hair, painted facial features and an original period outfit comprising an orange tunic-style top with contrasting trim and dark wide-leg trousers.

The simple yet fashionable styling perfectly captures the bold colours and youthful fashion trends of the early 1970s.

First edition Pippa dolls are becoming increasingly difficult to source, particularly examples retaining original clothing and displaying the distinctive charm that made the range so popular.

A wonderful nostalgic piece for collectors of British toys, fashion dolls and Palitoy memorabilia.
