Keepsake Muslim Doll Collection: Handmade & Eco-friendly

Our gorgeous keepsake Muslim dolls are unique and special and based on the founders themselves. The dolls were designed in London, UK and hand sewn in Turkey through a women only social enterprise group made up of local artisans using skills passed down by generations. Through our partnership with the social enterprise organisation we are helping these talented artisans earn a dignified and sustainable income, many of whom are the single earners and providers in their family.

The keepsake dolls will be the first in a series of dolls to be released this year. The doll was inspired by the founders yearning to find a way for their daughter (10 years old) and son (8 years old) to learn about their faith, with something they could resonate and identify with. After searching far and wide, and failing to find the aesthetics and quality they were after they set about designing the dolls modelling it around themselves . They wanted to make their children something beautiful, cherishable and something that they both can relate to and be proud of. The dolls were hugely popular on social media and with customers who felt they filled a gap in cultural representation faith identity.

What makes Once Upon A Dua special is that we are the first of it's kind; a Scandinavian influenced faith inspired brand. We are the solution for the modern day faith conscious parents, who are struggling to find beautiful quality products to help them bring faith in to their homes and into the hearts, minds and imaginations of their children.
