Developing the Smart Doll Pear Body has been a humbling and collaborative journey. We've been touched by the community's feedback, expressing how this representation makes them feel seen. While we acknowledge that one design can't capture the full spectrum of plus-sized bodies, this is a step towards challenging the slim body narrative, a narrative we've contributed to in the past.
Reflecting on this, I want to sincerely apologize for not introducing this body type sooner. Initially, our focus was narrow, centered on the slim body type. This journey, which began 9 years ago, was filled with production and quality challenges. As we improved our processes, the need for broader representation became clear. I regret the delay in embracing this diversity and appreciate your patience as we work towards inclusivity.
This venture wouldn't have been possible without the community's input and those who pushed back against this body type, sparking quicker development of this product. Your support in our goal to represent those often overlooked in the doll industry is invaluable.
Our new catchphrase, "Be Seen With Smart Doll," encapsulates our renewed mission. It reflects our commitment to creating products that resonate with those who have felt neglected by traditional doll manufacturers. This pivot from solely pursuing mainstream, profit-driven products represents our dedication to inclusivity.
We are focusing on crafting dolls that help individuals feel seen and valued, recognizing the diversity and uniqueness of our community. This phrase is more than a slogan; it's a promise to honor and celebrate the varied identities and experiences of our customers.
THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT PRINTED TEES
Our T-shirts, crafted in Kyushu and printed in Tokyo with a Roland Versa UV printer, face the unique challenge of fabric movement during printing – it's almost as if the tees are playfully resisting the process! In our last print run, we experienced a quirky outcome: 52 of the 200 shirts resembled a 'Back To The Future' logo due to an upward skew!
While some tees might not have perfectly centered graphics, a simple twist once on your Smart Doll can make it look just right. Those that don’t meet our standards find a second life in our outlet or with our team members.
Over time, the graphics naturally adopt a vintage, faded look. Washing the tee, though not recommended, accelerates this effect, perfect for those who prefer a more worn-in aesthetic.
