jess and the laundress

once upon a time in the town of petaluma, californa there lived a rag doll artisan named jess brown.

she made dolls of sustainable corn fiber stuffing and bits of recycled, antique fabric and trim, with hand sewn, heart shape mouths, embroidered eyes, and hand stitched felted hair.

so prolific was jess that she came to design doll accessories, write storybooks and present commissions to clients across the land, including one famous designer who featured her creations in store windows from beverly hills to new york to milan!

as the popularity of her dolls grew, so did her collection, to apparel for moms and throws for the home and even full size quilts and coverlets!

one day, jess heard from gwen whiting and lindsey boyd, the two dynamic women behind the laundress. lindsey's daughter owned a beloved jess brown doll.

their passion for fabric and fashion paralleled that of hers with their comprehensive line of allergen free, non toxic, 100% biodegradable detergents, conditioners and washes to take care of the beautiful things you love and protect the environment, too.

a new collaboration was born!!

jess brown for the laundress, a one of a kind heirloom doll made of entirely washable cotton muslin, available with blonde or brunette hair and her own wash & stain bar made from vegetable soap, borax and essential oils.

remember, patience is always a virtue!  all dolls are cut to order so please allow up to two weeks for your special delivery....  And each doll has button shoulders and may not be appropriate for a child under 3 years of age...
