IMPORTANT:
THE PREORDER WILL BE BY EMAIL, NOT VIA THE SHOP
(so please ignore the shop items being marker "out of stock")!
Courier mail to the USA is working!
The Inamorata art doll preorder will open tomorrow, on Monday February 2nd and it will be open for two weeks, until 16th, or until all the 30 dolls have been sold. OOAK and full set doll commission appointments are limited to 15.
LAUNCH TIME IN DIFFERENT TIME ZONES:
11 AM in New York, USA
8 AM in San Francisco, USA
4 PM in London, UK
5 PM in Paris, France
Note that we will do things a bit differently this time around. The ordering will be done by email (emiliacouture@gmail.com) and I'll invoice you via Paypal after the casting can be confirmed. I don't dare to take deposits in advance this time, not being sure if there are enough orders to fulfil the minimum casting requirements. If there are enough orders, I'll send an invoice for the non refundable 50% deposit that needs to be paid by February 23rd. You can choose a layaway option for the remainder.
PRICES:
Blank dolls will be 1100 euros (+40 euros for dark resin) >>>DOLL INFO
OOAKs painting fee starts at 250 euros
Extra heads (can be sold separately) 130 euros
Art bust for displaying heads 130 euros
Hands/gloves/feet 85 euros per pair except for the NEW jointed feet that are 100 euros ( Classic painting +25 euros, Hyper Realistic painting +40 euros per pair)
Shoe sculpts are 85 euros per pair except for the trainers set that's 100 euros (ballet flats + bulky dance trainer soles). >>>SHOE INFO
HOW TO ORDER:
Send an email with topic "PREORDER 2026" to emiliacouture@gmail.com
Write your doll details: head sculpt, body type, resin tone, extra parts, blank/OOAK/full set doll (If you need help deciding see the DOLL INFO & SHOES).
Write your name, address, phone number and Paypal email so I can invoice you.
Please use this ONE email thread for all communications, keeping everything under the same email thread.
PLEASE WAIT TO GET YOUR INVOICE instead of sending money directly on Paypal. Please always use your invoice to pay each instalment or Paypal does not register as part of the layaway plan. Pay your deposit by 23rd of February.
For OOAK commissions: Please send your concept and inspiration photos in reply to your preorder email. Note that my artworks are One of A Kind and I cannot make copies of previous dolls. Making similar shoes and wigs is ok.
Each resin colour needs 5 dolls to be cast. You can request any resin tone in your initial preorder email, but there is a chance that if you were the only one to ask for that resin tone that you might have to swap to another option that can be cast (or campaign amongst your friends to order more of that colour). Individual colours can be cast, but there is an extra fee (200 euros) for the resin mixing (usually divided between the 5 dolls).
SHIPPING
I am shipping from Germany via courier mail (UPS/DHL). The shipping costs will be invoiced separately after shipping. Items over 800euro require an export license and that costs extra 42euros.
CASTING TIME:
The casting takes 4-6 months and blank dolls will ship as soon as they have passed the quality inspection. You will get an email when the dolls ship from the caster to me and when I am done with the quality check. You can ask your blank doll to be shipped directly to the faceup artists of your choice.
WAITING LIST FOR OOAK DOLLS:
The waiting time for OOAK dolls is 6-18 months. OOAK items will go to the commission waiting list based on the order of completed payments. Art takes time. A single full set dressed dolls can take 1-3 months to to complete so a lot of full set orders can also slow up the schedule.
PAYMENT TYPES AND LAYAWAY PLANS:
There will be a 50% non refundable deposit (to finance the casting) and you can choose a layaway for the remainder.
FOR THE US CUSTOMERS:
Note that the USA tariffs and handling fees are something customer pay to the customs of their own country. I cannot estimate the fees in advance ( the policy is changing too often) UPS has delivered the packages with an invoice for the tariffs attached. For higher value items UPS might require your tax ID.
Thank you for everyone who has brightened my day with lovely comments and feedback! I always try my best to accommodate all your wishes. And thank you to all of you who support my art by ordering my dolls. I cannot describe what it means to me to be able to create beauty for a living. It is more than a career. It is my raison dêtre!
