The doll is designed and engineered in Iceland and manufactured by hand in China.Because the dolls are handmade, there are slight variations in the shape of the dolls. We carefully chose skilled manufacturers to make our Lulla dolls and we chose natural materials and good quality parts to go inside the sound unit for better sound and longer playing time than most other toys.Overseeing our production is an Icelandic company located in China that has extensive experience in the toy industry. Our manufacturers are inspected regularly by a third party inspection agency and have all the necessary standards in place.The doll itself is also thoroughly safety tested by a third party international company.
