Elena is a wonderful artist, photos cannot show the true quality of her beautiful dolls.
The dolls are made with love and care, it certainly shows in the finished result.
She is great to work with and highly reliable. I recommend her work to everyone.

Would you order from this company again?
Without a doubt, I certainly will !

Porcelain dolls Marinel and Gustav.

This is my second and third boys from Devoted Retinue.

Both of these dolls are portraits. Marinel is a character from a comic book, and Gustav is a singer.

As for quality, it is still on top!

they are very pleasant to hold and take pictures!

postures are fixed perfectly!

I think that I will certainly order another doll (and maybe not one!)!

Great quality dolls! Best recommendations to Elena as a master and seller!
