British Fashion Doll, Sindy, Picks The Point.1888 as Licensing Agent

The Point.1888 has been appointed by Pedigree to represent Sindy, representing Sindy’s brand licensing interests in the U.K., as it initially looks to make her “60 Iconic Years” celebration huge in September 2023. 

The doll brand is aiming to be center stage on the top fashion runways as Pedigree looks to bring contemporary and retro assets into the brand’s licensing program. Ahead of Sindy’s 60-year celebration in 2023, Pedigree is looking for new partners and collaborations via its new licensing agent. 

The doll was first launched in 1963 and has been synonymous with British fashion ever since, selling over 150 million dolls worldwide. The “doll who you love to dress” has seen new ranges of dolls, clothing and accessories launched in 2021 and 2022 by Kid Kreations, all of which encapsulate Sindy’s timeless beauty and doll play as well as arts and crafts.  

“Sindy is a British institution amongst both fashion and toy industries,” says Becky Langer, senior commercial manager, The Point.1888. “Bringing the brand on board ahead of her 60th celebration is an opportunity to showcase the strength and longevity of Sindy today. We are excited to start working on this iconic brand and deliver an ambitious and robust consumer products program that Sindy deserves.”
