Collection: Minikane Dolls: Cherished Companions for Imaginative Play

1. Are Minikane and Miniland dolls the same?

No, Minikane and Miniland dolls are different brands with distinct styles and features. 

Minikane is a small, family business dedicated to making adorable, life-like dolls and accessories. Minikane dolls are known for their softer vinyl, anatomical correctness, and diverse options. They have a unique sweet vanilla scent that evokes childhood memories; and offer a wide range of stylish clothing and accessories. The clothes are all made in France and hand-sewn in ateliers near Paris. Both soft and hard body dolls are part of the Minikane collection, made in Spain. The accessories (stroller seats, Moses baskets, sleeping bags, doll carriers, etc.) are designed in France, and made in Europe or in Indonesia for their rattan collection.

Miniland dolls, on the other hand, are designed with a firmer vinyl body, are also anatomically correct, and emphasise racial and physical diversity, including dolls that represent children with disabilities. The Miniland brand however, manufactures toys and accessories for babies and children. It is part of a larger international company with branches in Hong Kong and the US. 

Both brands are committed to non-toxic, phthalate-free materials and are manufactured in Spain, but they differ in texture, scent, and the specific diversity and educational aspects they highlight.

2. Can minikane dolls wear preemie clothes?

Minikane dolls come in different sizes, and some may fit preemie clothes while others may not. The Minikane Chloe Doll, for example, is approximately 34 cm tall and may fit some preemie sizes. However, for the best fit, we recommend dressing your Minikane doll in the adorable minikane baby doll clothing and accessories specifically designed for them, available at Eeny Meeny.

3. Can minikane dolls get wet?

Minikane dolls are not designed for water play and should be kept away from moisture to maintain their quality and appearance. Their soft, cuddly bodies and delicate, hand-painted features are best enjoyed in dry environments. If your Minikane doll does get wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry completely before further play.

4. What makes Minikane dolls unique?

Minikane is a small family business built by Karin Maillard. Minikane dolls are known for their gentle expressions, soft bodies, and meticulous attention to detail. Each doll is crafted with care, using sustainable materials like organic cotton and wool, ensuring they are both eco-friendly and built to last.

5. Are Minikane dolls suitable for young children?

Yes! Minikane offers a range of dolls suitable for children of different ages. From soft, cuddly baby dolls to more detailed toddler and child dolls, there is a unique Minikane companion perfect for every unique kid.

6. Are Minikane dolls available in different skin tones and hairstyles? 

Yes, celebrating diversity is important to both Minikane and Eeny Meeny. Our collection includes dolls with various skin tones and hairstyles, allowing children to find a doll that resonates with them and reflects the beautiful diversity of the world around us.
