Why do reborn dolls cost so much?​
Reborn dolls have a higher cost than store bought dolls for many reasons. The first being that the supplies to make these dolls are high. Then the artist charges for their work and the quality of their work. These dolls take many, many hours to make and you have to factor in all of the work the artist is doing into the cost.
