Handcrafted dolls made with all natural materials and a lot of love. Each doll is one of a kind, like you!
"I have them all over my house cheering me up every time I look at them" - B Callahan
"Absolutely gorgeous and so well made. Every time I catch a glimpse of these dolls, I still pause for a second because they're so beautiful. But the best part has been seeing how much my child genuinely loves her dolls" - Flora
"Bamboletta Dolls are the best quality I've ever seen. Gorgeous dolls perfect for anyone!" - K. Stephens
All the materials we use are natural, and sourced locally as much as possible. We use local wool to stuff the dolls, and raw yarns to hand-dye and hand-spin. Our process is steeped in traditional doll making techniques and we are careful to stay true to those traditions as we evolve.
When we call our dolls one-of-a-kind it’s because they truly are, from the fabric being cut, to the stuffing of the bodies, all the way to sewing on the hair and stitching on every sweet little face. When those last touches are put on each doll, that is the moment when we see its little spirit. Its personality comes to life and then we give the doll a name. We like to think of each one finding its person; it’s a feeling unique to Bamboletta.
Each doll is truly one of a kind, no two are ever the same. Unlike mass produced toys, every Bamboletta is completely unique, from her wool stuffing to her hand dyed hair to the face I embroider myself. When she finds her family, that's it. There's no restock, no reorder, she existed only once in the world.
It all started in 2003, when Christina handcrafted her first Waldorf doll in her living room...
Meet My New Dolls: Colette and Thistle
There are moments in my life when healing comes from the places I least expect. It doesn't always happen in quiet rooms of contemplation or through grand gestures; sometimes, it happens in the gentle, quiet spaces of my heart, when I finally allow myself to receive what I needed most when I was small.
Just a few weeks ago, beautiful Eliana arrived from Bamboletta, which was already such a magical, wonderful experience, and now these two have joined her. Of course, they cannot heal everything overnight—but they heal a significant, precious part of me, and that alone is incredibly beautiful.
Growing up, I never received dolls that I actually liked or connected with. That small, unfulfilled wish stayed with me for a long time, but welcoming Eliana, Colette, and Thistle into my life has started a deep process of inner child healing.
It is my way of telling that little version of myself that I see her, and that her need for joy, innocence, and wonder is valid. Through them, the heavy walls I built up over years of survival are starting to melt away, replaced by the simple, healing power of gentleness. Because I know exactly how it feels to miss out on that special connection, I now make sure to pay extra attention to my own child. It is so important to me that she gets dolls she truly loves and connects with, breaking the cycle and turning old wounds into a promise of safety for the next generation.
None of this would be possible without the hearts behind these creations. Christina and the whole team at Bamboletta truly make the most wonderful, magical dolls in the world. I am just so incredibly grateful that I found Christina, as the love and care they pour into their work can be felt in every single stitch.
Eliana, Colette, and Thistle are my daily, tangible reminder that it is never too late to bring joy to a child's heart—whether that child is the one I used to be, or the one I am raising today. They are anchors of love, soothing old wounds, and teaching my heart how to breathe freely again. Welcome home, Colette and Thistle. Thank you for healing the spaces within me that I didn't even know were still waiting for comfort.
Thank you Christina Mattiello and everyone helping to create that magic dolls and also thank you to my fellow doll lovers here who make the group so special.
Since the doll is the spitting image of my daughter, they became fast best friends, and it has a special place in our hearts.
Gorgeous, gorgeous doll! She's so well made, and has a lovely weight that makes her so lovely to hold. You can feel the positivity that goes into these dolls, and no detail feels rushed or overlooked. So happy with my new Sitting Friend, and looking forward to treasuring her forever!
How Lovely and Precious is Pippa! We absolutely Love her! The craftsmanship and the attention to defies absolutely extraordinary. You can tell that so much heart is put into each and every doll that is made, each doll is pure Magic!
It is very easy to shop with Bamboletta once you work out the time difference between Tasmania and Vancouver for the doll uploads.
Jordan is absolutely gorgeous and brought a huge smile to my face. Her hair and face are amazing. She invites lots of hugs. Thank you to all the ladies involved in making such high quality and unique dolls. Jordan travelled all the way from Canada to Tasmania and will be cherished.
The overalls are too cute! Love, love, love Bamboletta!
Love looking at the beautiful dollies! Great communication. Fast shipping. Beautifully packaged. It's like Christmas when one arrives.
Love! Love! Love! I love every single dolly I get. They are so sweet....just like the people who make them!
I knew Bamboletta dolls were special from the pictures, but I wasn’t prepared for what it would feel like to hold one in my hands. The quality is simply extraordinary. The soft fabrics, the thoughtful details, the comforting weight… everything about these dolls speaks of craftsmanship, love, and intention. You can feel the difference immediately.
My daughter is almost 11 and still happily spends hours playing with dolls. I know these sweet, innocent years won’t last forever. Childhood has a way of slipping through our fingers before we’re ready, and I can already see that season beginning to change. People often mention the price of a Bamboletta, but I see it differently.
How much would you pay for just a little more time in the years when your child still believes in make-believe, still tucks in her dolls, still invites you into her world? To me, it’s is a small price to pay for preserving a bit of that magic.
Years from now, I won’t remember the money. I’ll remember the joy on her face when she opened that box. I’ll remember seeing her curled up with her doll and hearing the stories she made up. And I know I’ll be grateful that I didn’t talk myself out of something that brought so much happiness.
Thank you, Bamboletta, for creating something so beautiful, so lovingly made, and so worthy of becoming a treasured part of our family’s memories.
