When you say a black doll, what do you mean? Something like a barbie/Bratz, or a pretend baby?

will this do?

Brixton market

If it's a barbie type doll you want then the Lottie dolls are ok. www.lottie.com/us/buy/?page=store

Available from amazon etc.

Ikea sell them, soft cloth dolls.

Not that this helps but in the 1970's I remember my friend's collection of Sasha dolls which had all different hair and skin colours and were just so gorgeous. I was so jealous of them!

ELC sell a black Cupcake doll called Poppy for £9.

My dd has a black Corolle Les Ceries

Les Cheries

Sorry, just read you're not looking for a baby doll.

Ah the lottie and Princess Tianna look good.

I work near Brixton market, where is exactly are you referring to that sells them?

Petalina has several,you haven't looked hard enough.

Yes not look for a baby doll as DD is 10 not and wont like that, thank you though

I got a black doll in that toy shop in Herne Hill near the deli.

the toy stall near the public loos where kwik save used to be

would preffer one without straight hair as my DD has curly afro hair

I think the 70s were good in some ways for different coloured dolls. The Pippa range had a black pippa type doll called marie and an Asian one (with white hair I think which was strange) called britt.

Completely off thread but my parents bought me a black baby doll one xmas, I was probably 2 or 3.
I think it was very forward thinking in the 1960's.

Good luck and hope you find what you are looking for.

thanks Nigella will have a look. will also look in Justwilliams herne hill. Some of them are really expensive though, but oh well.

Just had a look there., would this suit?

Ps YANBU at all

Yes in a way it seems harder to get a Black doll now. But at least you have all given me options

Wish I'd kept mine now as here's one for 65 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/161214932423?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0 although I think pristine never played with toys are sad, in more ways than one.
