Join me as I restore this beautiful vintage Aerobic Fleur. She was in perfect condition except for being completely bald!
In this video, I share my research on her original look, my "needle and knot" technique using three knots for security, and how I handled a few unexpected challenges along the way—including a bit of a scare during the final boil perm.
I’d love to hear your thoughts: Would you have started over when the hair looked thin, or would you have trusted the process?

Don't give up on your damaged dolls! In this restoration, I take on a vintage Fleur doll with several issues. I'll show you how I carefully remove 'plastic melt' damage, give her beautiful new rooted eyelashes, and extend her hair for a fuller look.
Restoration steps:
🫧 Deep cleaning & removing plastic melt
👁️ Rooting realistic new eyelashes
💇♀️ Hair extension technique for vintage dolls

In the late 1970s, the Dutch toy company Otto Simon lost their license to distribute Sindy dolls. Out of that disappointment, a unique fashion doll was born in 1978: Fleur.
With her modern European look and high-quality design, Fleur became a massive regional success and a legendary underdog in the vintage doll world.
In this video, we take a detailed look at the vintage Fleur doll history. Explore her unique fashion, beautiful original catalogue images, and classic commercials.
Discover why this rare 1970s doll deserves to be remembered alongside giants like Sindy and Barbie.
