A charming original 1970s Emma fashion doll from the highly collectible Palitoy Pippa range.

Introduced as one of Pippa’s friends, Emma became part of the hugely successful British doll line that captivated children throughout the 1970s with its fashionable outfits, compact size and extensive range of accessories.

This example features Emma’s distinctive long brunette rooted hair and retains a stylish equestrian-inspired outfit consisting of a brown jacket, cream jodhpur-style trousers and riding hat.

The outfit perfectly reflects the popular horse-riding fashions and country influences that featured heavily in 1970s children’s toy ranges.

The Pippa family of dolls remains one of Britain’s most nostalgic and collectible toy lines.

Original dolls and friends such as Emma are increasingly sought after by collectors, particularly examples retaining period clothing and accessories.

A wonderful addition to any Palitoy collection, vintage toy display, or nostalgic 1970s childhood collection.
