The story of Obsidienne
The birth of Obsidienne took place in Paris, Frances capital - celebrated as the city of art and creativity. The founder and master craftswoman, Madame Ophelia Deneuve, initiated the brand within her atelier in 1975. Being a passionate artist, she expressed her love and vision for fashion, art, and childhood through her uniquely handcrafted dolls. Unsatisfied with the mass-manufactured plastic dolls flooding the market, she took it upon herself to rekindle an appreciation for artistic, meaningful toys. One amazing story is of her infamous 'Collection of the Centuries', a range of dolls dressed in accurate period fashion from the 160s onwards, it's widely acclaimed by both toy enthusiasts and historical costume devotees.
