Collectible Gothic Dolls

Strange Little Girls Gothic rag dolls are handmade in England by Gothic fantasy artist Jo Hards. These unusual Gothic art dolls, including vampire, mermaid, ghost and faerie dolls, are each made individually by the artist, to original patterns, making each one a work of art. Many details are lovingly hand stitched or hand drawn, giving each of these creepy rag dolls a unique personality, so no two will be identical. Their bodies are made from pure white cotton and stuffed with polyester fibre fill. No animal derived materials are ever used. All rag dolls by Jo Hards are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Custom Gothic dolls can be made to order on request and OOAK Gothic art dolls are made available from time to time. All Gothic dolls are supplied with a signed certificate of authenticity including the doll’s name and character description or story.

Please note, these art dolls are collectors’ items only. Due to the delicate nature of the hand drawn and hand stitched detail, they are not intended for children under the age of 14. They are not toys.

The Gothville Girls

14 Inch Gothic Rag Dolls

These Strange Little Girls put the Goth in Gothville! Tristessa, Willow, Kali, Tansy, and Hazel are a group of friends who live in the town. Each one of them is different, each one has their own story, but they always stick together. Of course, they all share a love of Gothic music and alternative fashion, but they also share a fascination for the town’s darker side. Most people think the legends are just stories, but the girls know that there is more to this town than meets the eye …

Legends of Gothville

Gothic Fantasy Dolls

This town, with its Gothic architecture and dramatic history, has many legends, including dark tales of ghosts, faeries, mermaids, vampires, and more yet to be discovered. These are the stories that make Gothville a unique and exciting place to be. The cemetery is one of the most haunted places in Gothville. The most frequently seen ghost there is Guinevere. Amaranth the vampire is also thought to sleep by day in the old disused cemetery chapel, but the cemetery isn’t the only place where strange things happen. Gothville Woods is a magical place, and home to faeries such as Aeshna. The River Colder also holds a few surprises, including a mermaid or two.

Little Sisters

Half Size Gothic Rag Dolls

These half size Gothic rag dolls are the littlest of the Strange Little Girls, but they are just as spooky and not as innocent as they may look. Ember may look like a sweet little girl, but she has a terribly guilty secret. Levana is a mischievous ghost who loves to play tricks on visitors to the cemetery. Crystal is obsessed with vampires. They may be little, but they’re not for kids.
