Marketed between 1959 and 1965, the "Vintage Barbies" dolls symbolize a whole era.
Vestiges of childhood, they are very often, today, victims of time, damaged, injured, even almost undressed.
All is not however lost for the collector or the nostalgic.
Fabienne Martinez, installed at the Tour-du-Crieu in Ariège, gives again life to these dolls.
The restoration can be global including possibly the realization of a missing part in vynil, the recreation of a wardrobe or the re-implantation of hair with their hairstyle.
Today, Fabienne has extended her field of intervention to the "Fashion Royalty" dolls in vogue in the USA and to other models like the Silkstones, created by Mattel.
The restorations of Fabienne Martinez are visible on the spot and on the site www.picturetrail.com/lolaxs
