Red-Haired Barbie Doll in Striped Coat and Pink Accessories

This item is a 1960s-era Barbie doll, characterized by her distinctive red, bouffant hairstyle and light Caucasian skin tone. Her face features painted blue eyes, light brown arched eyebrows, and closed red lips. The doll is wearing a long-sleeved, knee-length coat made of a woven fabric with horizontal stripes in varying shades of pink, orange, and purple-red. The coat has a high collar and appears to fasten down the front with several small, gold-colored buttons or snaps. The underside of the coat, visible where the front flaps open, reveals a hot pink, lace-trimmed hem, suggesting she is wearing a dress or skirt underneath. The doll's arms are bent at the elbow, and she is wearing bright pink gloves that cover her hands and wrists. Her legs are slender and bare, ending in hot pink open-toe high heels. While specific wear on the doll's body is not clearly visible, signs of age typical for dolls of this period might include discoloration to the plastic, loose joints, or fading to facial paint. The hair appears somewhat disheveled, consistent with playwear or age. The clothing shows minor creasing but appears to be in good overall condition for its age. The item’s aesthetic strongly reflects the fashion trends of the early to mid-1960s, with its vibrant colors and somewhat mod styling.
