A badass pirate babe! I know I drooled over all the Carved Heritage dolls, outfits & weapons. Iplehouse sparked my first love of BJD'S. As we talked about before, it's sad to see them struggling and nothing really new and exciting to show. I still troll their site in hopes they'll bounce back. Sartoriaj definitely rivaled them with their Tarot collection. I am loving the Musketeers as well, but my bank account says, look, don't touch. Lol 😂 I wish companies would show the whole collection at once, then offer more time to purchase. Less pressure and time to save up for all the extras. I see Sartoriaj is teasing at least 2 more outfits in the Musketeers series....aaaaahhhh! Alas, I am really wanting to make my own historically based outfits in the future. Gathering fabrics and trims together as we speak. Wish me luck!
I agree! I wish they would show the whole collection too. It seems like as soon as I buy a doll the very next one is one I would rather have gotten. Now I try to hold out for a week at least before jumping on an order. I am avoiding the Musketeers too. My wallets is still crying from the Valentine's clothing I have on layaway with BJDivas plus all the Fifth Season stuff I ended up getting. Lol 😁 Ohhh custom sets!! Please post lots of pics once you do make them. I am one of those people who lives to buy fabric and then doesn't trust her sewing skills enough to use it. Lol Goodluck!
I have never seen this Carved Heritage outfit for EID Scarlett in an owner's photos before- it is so cool and fun! Sartoriaj Elf Luthien looks amazing in it- she is the perfect doll for this incredible outfit! But back to Iplehouse: I also agree, I would love to own all the Carved Heritage dolls and their outfits! I am still in hopes of finding the CH EID Bane pirate outfit and CH EID Lawrence and his Carved Heritage outfit. Looking back at the previous releases to CH, the Addiction series is really fabulous amazing fantasy sculpts that sadly they are not doing anymore. But overall I am still partial to the CH sculpts & outfits. As to pleather- there is only so much you can do - keep it out of the heat, in a cool spot is the best answer that I have found especially with pleather as unique and special as the kind used to maker her chaps. I so agree with you, I also wish that Iplehouse would try much harder to bring back the great design and construction of the Carver Heritage era! I suspect that many left artisans left Iplehouse due to the same terrible management and quality control issues that as customers a few years ago, we were all very upset by. And the pandemic also shut down several factories I understand which also had made it slow for IP to come back. I think competition is not a bad thing, and Sartoriaj has been giving it in spades. Quality has been incredible and concern about customer's needs also has been forefront. I hope we see more changes in future- such as longer release periods - 5 days is too short! Even Iplehouse brought back their most popular sculpts when customer demand became so strong!
I too am looking for both the Bane and Lawrence sets. Soooo hard to find and don't blame anyone for not wanting to give them up! I am lucky to own as many of the Carved Heritage sets as I do since I didn't start collecting until Rania. This was when Iple was at their peak! I too love SJ but agree that their limited dolls need longer releases. Hopefully if they hear that enough and they'll start to do it. Too many dolls, not enough money!! Lol
