About this item

Designed to reflect the world kids see today, this diverse line of Barbie Fashionistas dolls showcases bright and trendy styles that make for endless storytelling possibilities.
Introducing the first ever blind Barbie Fashionistas doll! Barbie partnered with the American Foundation for the Blind to design a doll that accurately portrays someone who is blind or has low vision.
She wears a satiny pink blouse and sparkly, ruffled skirt made with a fun-to-touch fabric! Strappy lavender heels add an extra note of style savviness to her sweet look.
The brightly colored, high-contrast closures on the back of her top and on her skirt’s elastic waistband make it easier to dress Barbie doll!
Her silvery aviator sunglasses are not only super cool -- they’re practical too! The “lenses” shield her eyes from UV rays when it’s sunny.
Barbie uses her white cane as she explores the city. It’s an important complement to her day-to-night outfit, which is perfect for a fun-filled weekend with friends!
From articulated arms that make using the cane a breeze, to packaging that features the word “Barbie” in Braille, this Blind Fashionistas doll is lovingly designed in every way.
Kids 3 years old and up can collect other Barbie Fashionistas dolls for even more fun with friends and fashion at playtime (each sold separately, subject to availability).

My visually impaired sister loved this Barbie when I gave it to her for her birthday.

As usual, Mattel has paid close attention to detail. Barbie's cane has the "marshmallow" type tip that a lot of modern canes have, and the red section at the bottom apparently denotes that Barbie is visually impaired rather than fully blind. The cane has a little loop that fits easily over Barbie's hand.

She comes with tiny light-blocking glasses that are resting on top of her head, but can also fit on Barbie's face. She has long, gorgeous brown hair and a typical pink and purple Barbie outfit. Her eyes are looking slightly up rather than directly forward.

If you're giving this to a child, have scissors or snippers ready to cut the MANY bands and clips that hold Barbie in her box. These would be difficult for any kid, but especially so for a visually impaired child.

I've heard some people say that Mattel doesn't need to keep making dolls of so many types, that it's going too far. But I think it's wonderful that they're making it so that almost any child can find a Barbie that looks and lives like them or like someone they love.

This Barbie, the larger-figured Barbie, the ones (multiple!) in wheelchairs, the ones of various races-- these Barbies aren't for the people who don't want them to exist. If the look on my adult sister's face is anything to go by, a child with visual impairments, or who has a friend or family member with visual impairments, would adore this doll.

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2024
I teach students who are blind and visually impaired, and we’ve been waiting for this for years. I’ve purchased many of them to give to my students, their siblings, etc. The cane is well-made, the only suggestion I would have is a better way to attach it to the hand or wrist. It tends to fall off. Otherwise I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great idea and a pretty good execution. Working with AFB was also a good idea.

I am a special needs teacher and I was so excited to discover this product. Thank you so much for including a person with a visual impairment and cane user to your loved product line.
