this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the past 5th week of 2019, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.
We are now during Chinese New Year holidays. Factories and most logistics companies have shut down and workers are on their way home.
To all our business friends and partners in China: Thank you for the hard work last year, Happy New Year and have cheerful holidays!
Over here in Berlin, in a couple of days the movie festival Berlinale starts.
Other than that, there is not much news to report - neither new dolls and nor shipped dolls.

2) CNY Promotions.
This CNY promotion is still on: Irontech offers an extra head for free. Available for every order during the spring fesitival respectively between Jan. 28th and Feb. 12th.
3) Factory closing schedules.
Here are some factory closing schedules:
- Doll Forever: Jan 22nd - Feb 16th
vIrontech Doll: Jan 28th - Feb 12th (cutoff date for new orders was Jan 25th) - YL Doll: Jan 30th - Feb 12th
However, even if Chinese brands dominate the markets, not all dolls com from China. European or American manufacturers are obviously not affected by CNY holidays.
