## Description

Fashionistas Doll #228, Blind Barbie Doll Wearing Pink Top and Ruffled Skirt with Cane and Sunglasses in Partnership with the American Foundation for the Blind, HRH17

## Features

- Designed to reflect the world kids see today, this diverse line of Barbie Fashionistas dolls showcases bright and trendy styles that make for endless storytelling possibilities.
- Introducing the first ever blind Barbie Fashionistas doll! Barbie partnered with the American Foundation for the Blind to design a doll that accurately portrays someone who is blind or has low vision.
- She wears a satiny pink blouse and sparkly, ruffled skirt made with a fun-to-touch fabric! Strappy lavender heels add an extra note of style savviness to her sweet look.
- The brightly colored, high-contrast closures on the back of her top and on her skirt's elastic waistband make it easier to dress Barbie doll!
- Her silvery aviator sunglasses are not only super cool -- they're practical too! The 'lenses' shield her eyes from UV rays when it's sunny.
- Barbie uses her white cane as she explores the city. It's an important complement to her day-to-night outfit, which is perfect for a fun-filled weekend with friends!
- From articulated arms that make using the cane a breeze, to packaging that features the word 'Barbie' in Braille, this Blind Fashionistas doll is lovingly designed in every way.
- Kids 3 years old and up can collect other Barbie Fashionistas dolls for even more fun with friends and fashion at playtime (each sold separately, subject to availability).
