Is Genuine Barbie by Mattel And why does the tags not say Mattel?
I'm a little confused by your question. Only Mattel has the
rights to make the Barbie doll, at least here in the United States.
There have been doll manufacturers in other countries that have
purchased the rights to make and sell Barbie dolls in their own
countries, such as Rosebud in England, Estrela in Brazil and Takara
in Japan, but I don't think that is what you are asking. Other
companies in the United States make fashion dolls the same size as
Barbie, or make clothes to fit 11 1/2 inch dolls. Some examples of
competitors over the years have been Ideal, Hasbro and Kenner. It's
possible that you have clothing made by one of the competitors.
