Desirée Dolls Clothes
Ms. Stone carries on a family tradition originating from antebellum southern plantations, creating folk art in the form of vintage-style rag dolls referred to as "comfort dolls." Originally meant to provide comfort to slave children, these dolls have been re-imagined with modern embroidered faces and carefully crafted knitted sweaters. Through the generosity of philanthropists, these dolls have found their way to refugee camps, orphans, and schools in Africa and Europe..
