Fleur was made in the 1970s and 1980s in Holland by the Otto Simon company. The first two Fleurs were released in 1978. They were Belle and Basic Fleur.Wim Remken, one of the founding fathers, who worked in the 70s as chief purchaser for Otto Simon, recalls that Fleur was born out of anger over Pedigree's decision to stop their licence to sell Sindy in the Netherlands. Fleur then was designed overnight by Wim Remken, purchaser Ruud Bok, and the advertising company. They were personally involved in the creation and production of the dolls.Fleur was aimed to look nothing like Barbie, more like a European version of Sindy. Little girls would have to think of Fleur as their friend. Their mothers had to approve of her appearance as well. Her outfits were inspired by everyday fashions as appeared in women's magazines like Margriet and Libelle, and prototypes were made by Otto Simon employees themselves. The new doll was an instant success and in the next decade over a million dolls were sold. In her heyday, Fleur's success was bigger than Sindy's and even Barbie's.Please ask questions prior to bidding. No returns/refunds. Items sold as is.. Shipped USPS Priority Mail.

However, due to bidders trying to manipulate auctions and auction results by bidding up then retracting or just bidding up and canceling the sale when they win the auction due to buyer's remorse, my auctions will now be private.
