Poupées by Isabelle Segal and Chiqui Roges
- Poupée is the French
word for doll.
- "Josephine la Femme aux Diamants: Meet the girl who makes Liz turn green with envy. For Josephine, a carat a day keeps the doctor away--and she doesn't mean the orange kind! Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend must have known Josephine: don't try to fool her with imitations--she can spot the real thing from a hundred yards."... as the tag tells the story of this darling... (see tag photo).

About the Dolls and the Creators
-
No
two are exactly alike, and each is a wonderfully unique conversation piece for
any place in your home.
- The dresses are tailored using the most vivid and refined fabrics. Each hat is a free-hand sculpture, created without the use of any
molds.The accessories are designed to perfectly match thePoupées theme and
color, creating an ideal setting.
- They are funny, fanciful and will
make you smile every time you look at them.
- Segal and her husband, Chiqui Roges created and shipped from their Woodside, NY, USA workshop.
- Beanbag bodies; their limbs, heads and
hats
are made from porcelain-like epoxy resin, lacquered and shellacked.
- The dolls have been given distinct characters. Most of the female dolls, says Segal, are femmes
fatales. "They represent a lot of women I've known over the years," Segal
says. The dolls tend to attract people like themselves. "Women recognize
themselves in the dolls," says Segal, who admits to a fondness for shopping. The whimsical bios are created by committee. "We write them with friends," Segal explains. "They come over to dinner, we have some wine and write
them. We laugh a lot. The wine helps." "Well, they are toys of a sort," Segal says. "They're toys
for adults."
