Corolle dolls are not the fanciest dolls you will find, but they certainly still have a solid following among collectors.

Including Corolle dolls may be pushing it a bit as far as “vintage” goes.  The company has been around since 1979.  Many of them are bought and sold on eBay regularly though with the vintage label and the definition of vintage can be a bit “fluid” as items are listed by sellers with differing degrees of experience in the field of selling dolls.

Corolle dolls and Corolle doll clothes are both popular items with buyers.  Though not as well known or prestigious as some older, more established doll companies that are cornerstones of the doll market, Corolle dolls hold their own and usually at a much lower price than some of the more well known names.

The company has actually been honored with several Doll of the Year awards and is known within the doll industry for producing high quality dolls.   The dolls are very lifelike and the Corolle doll home page states that they are often designed based on real babies.  My own experience has been that the dolls are very well received by little ones.

These dolls are made to fall into stages that match up with children's growth and development.  Of course this is great for the company because the idea is to keep people buying, but really, the dolls are quite nice and each stage is a great match for the children who are there audience.  There are plenty of Corolle baby dolls and Corolle doll accessories to choose from if you are a collector.

The Babi Corolle is for the newest of babies.  These are snuggly soft dolls that also include rattles and hand puppets.  The idea is to stimulate the senses that baby is just starting to explore.

Mon Premier is designed for little girls ages eighteen months and up who are starting to get the idea of taking care of a baby.   Dolls in this line include Tidoo, Calin and Poupette.

Les Classiques is the next in the Corolle line. This is designed for roughly the same age as the Mon Premier but also goes up to the 3+ age range. There are five sizes to choose from in this line and more accessories become available.

The Miss Corolle dolls are for the next stage.  These dolls are a continuation of the three years plus group but also step up for little girls who are a little bit older.   These are more of your classic play dolls that are made for acting out day to day adventures with friends.

A final line from Corolle is designed for little girls with an early interest in fashion.  These dolls are called "les Trendies" and the Corolle site says they are for "budding fashionistas".

If you are searching for Corolle dolls, you probably already know quite a bit about them, but if not, you can find their home page here.  eBay is a nice place to check for older Corolle dolls or even newer ones that might be available at lower than retail prices.  In addition, eBay is, without a doubt, a great place to find larger “lots” of doll accessories.  Corolle doll clothes and even the Corolle doll stroller can usually be found for sale, often with baby dolls included!

Here is a Corolle video that does a nice job of showing off the dolls' features.
