Winter Fashion Appraisal

Barbie Winter Princess/Holiday Edition Doll (Unidentified Year)

The item is a Barbie doll, appearing to be a 'Winter Princess' or 'Holiday Barbie' type from the late 20th or early 21st century, possibly from the 1990s or early 2000s, given the style of the doll's face mold and the packaging. The doll is presented in what appears to be its original, unopened box, indicated by the clear plastic window and the doll's secure position within the cardboard insert. The box itself is light blue or teal on the interior, suggesting a winter or festive theme. The Barbie doll possesses long, wavy blonde hair, styled to fall around her shoulders and back. Her face features blue painted eyes, pink lipstick, and subtle blush. She is wearing small, gold-colored stud earrings. Her outfit consists of a full-length, long-sleeved, lustrous pink coat, which appears to be made of a satin or similar smooth fabric. The coat has a white faux fur collar and white faux fur cuffs, adding a touch of elegance and warmth. It is detailed with four silver-colored buttons down the front and a silver-colored belt buckle cinching the waist. The doll's legs are molded in a standing pose, and she appears to be wearing light-colored hosiery or tights. Included at her feet, still in their original clear plastic packaging, are a pair of matching pink shoes or boots and a pink handbag, matching the material of her coat. The overall condition of the doll and her accessories appears to be excellent, consistent with a 'New in Box' (NIB) or 'Never Removed From Box' (NRFB) state, which is a significant factor for collectors. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or repairs on the doll or her clothing, and the packaging itself seems largely intact, though a full assessment of the box's corners and edges would require additional images. The quality of the doll's face painting and the detailing on her outfit suggest a standard Mattel production quality for collector-oriented releases.
