When Ray Eames sent one of Marilyn Neuhart’s Mexican cotton dolls to Alexander Girard in 1959, Mrs. Eames probably didn’t predict the decades-long working relationship that would result. The organic quaintness of the Neuhart dolls mixed perfectly with Girard’s folk art sensibilities, making them the impetus of a successful creative partnership.
The newly issued House Industries dolls are made with Mexican cotton from the same family-owned mill that Neuhart used for her originals.

Anna Sui pulled inspiration from the textile designer, shopkeeper, and New York Mexican restaurant pioneer Alexander Girard and a doll-maker friend Marilyn Neuhart to inspire her folkloric modern collection. “Their work was very colorful, optimistic, and happy, which is what I’m pushing these days,” Anna said.
