It consists of sequin body, pink fluffy coat with printed lining and sunglasses, presented in an exclusive branded Barbie gift box.
“We are delighted to be able to now offer Barbie adult costumes to our customers across Europe,” said Dominique Peckett, director at Smiffys. “Barbie is such an iconic global brand and it appeals to a wide audience. I’m especially excited about the new limited edition, deluxe Barbie costume that our in-house creative team have developed for Barbie’s 60th anniversary.”
Liz Reeve, consumer products manager at Mattel UK, added: “We are delighted that Barbie’s adult fans can now celebrate the world’s number one fashion doll through some of her most recognised looks in this great new collection from Smiffys.”
