The Simpich Family Collection

When the Simpich Doll Shop closed in 2007, a chapter of American handcrafted artistry came to a close. Yet within the Simpich Family home, many of those beloved characters remained — cherished reminders of a lifetime of creativity, craftsmanship, and joy.

Over the years, our family has continued to care for a small number of these pieces — some inherited from Bob and Jan Simpich, others displayed in the Simpich Museum, and a few gifted to David and Debby Simpich themselves. Each has lived within our home and family story for decades.

Now, for the first time, we’re opening a small portion of this private family collection to share with the collector community that has carried the Simpich legacy forward.

These dolls have not been remade or rediscovered — they are original pieces, lovingly preserved and carefully chosen to bring joy and inspiration to new homes. Each release is limited, hand-inspected, and accompanied by documentation verifying its origin from the Simpich Family Collection.

While future releases may occur, the number of dolls we’re able to share is extremely small. This is not a new production — it’s a gesture of gratitude from our family to yours, honoring the artistry and tradition that continue to connect us all.

“These pieces have been part of our family’s life — now they can become part of yours.”
— Toby Simpich, Consignment Manager, Simpich Family Traditions
