DOLLS OF THE WORLD: FESTIVALS OF THE WORLD
ç
Diwali™ Barbie® Doll
The most important and magical festival celebrated in India is Diwali. Homes are decorated with marigolds and mango leaves, thousands of oil diyas or lamps are lit as auspicious symbols of good luck, and everyone enjoys sweets to the sound of firecrackers and revelers.
Diwali™ Barbie® doll wears a traditional teal sari with golden detailing, a lovely pink shawl wrap, and exotic-style jewelry. The final detail is a bindi on the forehead—a jewel or a mark worn by Hindu women.
Kwanzaa is a uniquely African-American holiday that celebrates African values of family and community. Kwanzaa means the “first fruits of the harvest” and the festival is rapidly spreading throughout the world!
Kwanzaa Barbie® doll wears a beautiful outfit with an African inspired motif on the borders of her tunic style top, long skirt and headscarf. Beading on her belt, necklace and earrings add the final touch.
Our fabulous fraulein wears a colorful dirndl costume inspired by the world famous German festival called Oktoberfest. The original Oktoberfest held in Munich draws millions of people from all over the world who listen to brass bands, indulge in traditional German food and drink, and celebrate for days - dancing, marching in parades and singing songs until late into the night.
