Black Barbie by Kitty Black Perkins Doll

Join us in celebrating the 45th anniversary of the first-ever Black Barbie with a doll that pays homage to her creator, Kitty Black Perkins. As Chief Designer for the Barbie brand, Black Perkins left a lasting impact during her 28-year career with Mattel. Among her many contributions, showing the true power of representation in toys was perhaps her most impactful. Our anniversary tribute stuns in a scarlet look inspired by the original 1980s doll and is bound to be the showstopper of any collection.
