Doll-A-Day 168: Klm Airlines Doll

  Today's doll is this Klm airlines doll.


 These dolls were produced for lot of different airline companies, using the same doll in the different airline uniforms.


They were made by Optimum, using the same body and a similar head to the Mary Quant Daisy doll.



Mary Quant in the 60's in a dress she designed.

Mary Quant is a fashion designer who is attributed with the invention of the mini skirt, hot pants,(basically very short shorts.),patterned tights, and according to her, the duvet.

The model Twiggy, (Right.) helped popularize the Mary Quant look in the 60's.


This doll is for Dutch Airlines.

  She's 9" tall. She should have a hat and the shoe that fell off somewhere, but otherwise she's complete.

She has the same style shoes as the Daisy doll too.
Her outift has a vest as well as a blouse and jacket.

Ken collects advertising stuff, so this was a doll I kept on his behalf.
  I had a whale of a thrift store day today, so I'll show you some of the haul tomorrow.See you then.

  1. She is very cute, but I think she is one of those dolls I need to see in my hands to feel her, you know? Thank you for sharing!

    1. Yeah. Not quite my taste either, except I kind of like her uniform. Ken collects advertsing though, so she's more his collection than mine. I cheated!

  2. I got a doll like this one (only for SAS) in 1986. I do not have more than one shoe and the jacket left of her outfit (I played with her).

    Later I bought one with black hair on Ebay. Last summer, I found one with better face paint in Fretex. And in December, I found another one that had her shirt in a private doll lot.

    1. I don't find them around here.I think I got the bigger one in a lot at a doll auction. People around here don't travel much, and especially not back then. I talked to a lady in the 80's ho was trying to sell me a soap dish,'made in England'. I said,"Well, made in Wales." She said,"Well Wales in a country in England." "Well, in Britain." She then said,"Oh I don't know the difference. I've never been out of..." and I can't remember if she said the state or the county!
