  • A brief dive into the backstory of Maplelea Girls, a Canadian 18" fashion doll line by Avonlea Traditions Inc. You might know them as "knockoff American Girl dolls", but that is NOT what they are. I will also be giving my opinions on the 7 core character dolls (spoilers: I like them :) ).

    Also the Maplelea line of clothing/accessories are exceptionally well made.

    I just found your channel. I am loving your relaxed platform (your doll is so adorable)! Great ambiance with the Squishmallows in the back round and the artwork. This is a good idea for a video. Timely and well researched. As a 90s AG doll collector I have recently discovered Maplelea as well. I have Jenna. They are beautiful dolls and more so in person. Great hair and clothes quality. I like what the company represents too. Subscribed!

      Thank you so much !!!! This means so much to me! Honestly I really love Maplelea, I grew up with getting the catalogue, and I also have Jenna !!! They had an Anne of green gables outfit for her which I’m not sure if they still have.

      @@Jouchprincess I would love to have an Anne of Green Gables outfit. I think there is a new interest those stories and has been for awhile it would sell. 🙂I got a pair of glasses for my Jenna and she looks so cute in those.

    I was so happy to see you talk about Maplelea dolls. I am from Canada. Actually I live closest to the doll from SaltSpring Island. I do own Taryn and I would love to add Saila to my collection one day. 😊

      I love Maplelea dolls! I feel like they were super overshadowed by AG and are now known as “rip offs” which is not true bc the quality of the dolls are AWESOME!! And I think a ton of care has gone into each doll, especially Saila, I would LOVE to have her one day

    Wow, just wow! Well done young lady. You did yourself proud with this video! I'd be delighted to share for you! If ok! I know of an incredible Lady that needs to see this! Thank-you for your insight and thoughts on a product of Canadian pride!
    I'm an almost 60 yr old Nana to 8 and share my passion for Maplelea with them. The wisdom knowledge of the true meaning behind these dolls showed through in this video. This Nana thanks you with pride and blushing cheeks of pride.
    Young lady may I share your video!
    Thanks Nana

    As an AG dolls collector, I’m also starting to collect the maplelea line and I find them to be pretty neat as well 🙂.

    While Kaya is currently the only Native American doll AG has, I would say they put a huge deal of care into her also. She was in production for 5 years I think? And she represents the Nez Perce tribe😊 edit: I'd also add that Julie's current meet outfit is atrocious, but you may like her original outfit better! It is more period accurate
    I live in the US, so I haven't had a chance to get a Maplelea doll yet. I'm torn between Taryn and Saila!

      Thank you for telling me about this. I hope more Native dolls are coming from doll brands soon, when brands put in the effort, consumers can tell!

      Tbh Julie's original outfit is literally the best outfit ever!!!! I was so tempted to buy an og julie off of depop but I really dont need more dolls.
      My doll creation wishlist currently is a Metis doll from Maplelea, and another Native doll, maybe a GOTY from AG. That would rock.
