Launching in May - New Crowdfunding Campaigns Soon!
Latest News from A Girl for All Time
We’re excited to announce we’re launching our Crowdfunding campaigns for Max, Lydia and Matilda the first week of May 2019.
Why are we crowdfunding?
The answer is simple.
- Crowdfunding saves you money. The price of a product is usually calculated by adding up the costs of manufacturing and importing plus marketing / advertising and long term storage. Crowdfunding is like a pre-sale: you have purchased the item before it is manufactured, which means we don't need to pay for advertising, marketing or long term storage while we try and sell the item as it has already sold through the campaign. Those cost savings are passed directly onto YOU, giving you the best price possible for your purchase.
- Crowdfunding means no one is disappointed because an item is ‘sold out‘. Knowing how many units we need to manufacture before we place the order at our factory means that no one loses out. As long as we meet our campaign's Funding Goal*, every person who buys through our crowdfunding campaign will be guaranteed a doll.
Over the last 18 months we’ve seen the sky-rocketing costs of manufacturing, importing and warehousing have a huge negative impact on the doll community with many brands and shops closing down entirely. But we’ve found a way to fight back and after months of hard work and research, we’ve got a new system in place for ordering and shipping that will means we can keep making great products at the best prices possible.
We love providing top quality play dolls, costumes and accessories for our customers and we are excited about building a better brand for you in 2019 and beyond.

* please note that all crowdfunding campaigns must reach our Funding Goal in order to manufacture goods. If the campaign does not reach the Funding Goal, no monies will be taken from any customers.

Hello Frances,
I now have 9 of your dolls (two sets of duplicates) and I guess you can tell I am a huge fan! Please let me know when Max is ready to order. Thank you so much for creating such wonderful dolls.
Cheers!

Will certainly want to add MAX to my AGFAT-family. People are already working on a renaissance outfit for him…

He is cute. Is he the same mold as Bex?
How is crowdfunding different than the pre order process done by other doll companies?

Frances,
I love the way you run your values-driven small business, and your dolls and their accessories are so endearing. I can’t wait for an opportunity to order my Max, to add to my little ‘family’ of Clementine and Bex. Your products are lovely and your business practices make me determined to continue to support you!

Greatest way ever to get products produced for a relatively small or select market that would never otherwise become available. Thank you for going to all this trouble!

This is soooo exciting, is there a way to place the order before May? I’ve been waiting for Lydia and nisha both to be available again.
These are truly quality made dolls, for adults too.. the costumes are so meticulous and detailed that it far exceeds expectations . I wish these were available when I was a kid.😊
