Since 1982, Richwell™ Trading Ltd has had the exclusive Philippine distribution rights of Mattel™ toys. From 1991 to 2003, this company produced Barbie® dolls that were distributed exclusively in the Philippines. Most of the dolls were "Filipina", with a darker complexion and specially-rooted black/brown hair, and wore Philippine ethnic or traditional-inspired fashions. These were usually of limited edition (from 500 to 22,000). Richwell™ also produced Caucasian Barbie® dolls for exclusive distribution in the Philippines and Asia. For more information on these Barbie® dolls, check out our Filipina Barbie eBay guide.

These dolls for sale are never removed from box (NRFB) and most are in very good boxes (unless noted otherwise). The pictures shown are of the dolls from our personal collection. If box condition is important to you, please ask for details or additional pictures.

1991 Filipina Barbie

Featured in the fashion booklet for this series are four dolls wearing the traditional Philippine formal gown styles (designed by Patis Tesoro). The "mestiza" dress" features a fitted one-piece dress with flared skirt and stiff elbow-length sleeves popularly referred to as "butterfly" sleeves. The "baro't saya" features a blouse with bell-shaped sleeves ("baro") and flared skirt ("saya") with "panuelo" (wide collar) and "tapis" (decorative apron). The "Maria Clara" features a "baro"-style blouse and full skirt and is worn with or without a panuelo. The gowns featured embroidery, beads and sequins and used snaps and hooks for closure.
Because only four dolls were featured in the booklet, some collectors think that there are only 4 dolls in this 1991 series. Richwell released additional styles, but we have not found any authoritative source on the number of dress styles (and variations) in this series. Richwell did not give names to the dolls, but instead identified them by their stock numbers. If Richwell used all stock numbers between 7355-9898 and 7355-9909, there would be 12 dolls in the 1991 series (we have not located 7355-9901 and 9903). The numbers are on small labels attached to the bottom right corner at the back of the doll box.

1993 Filipina Barbie

With gowns designed again by Patis Tesoro, the dolls were issued in ultra limited editions of only 1,000 per style. In addition to the three dress styles featured in the 1991 series, 1993 Filipina Barbie also modeled informal dresses like the "kimona" (sleeveless blouse), "camisa" (informal "baro") and "patadyong" (narrow skirt, usually wrap-around).
As with the 1991 Filipina Barbie, Richwell did not give names to the dolls but instead identified them by their stock numbers and the accompanying fashion booklet did not have pictures of all the dolls. If Richwell used all numbers between 60481-9894 and 60481-9909, there would be 16 dolls in the series (we have not located 9896 and 9899).

1994 Ethnic Filipina Barbie

The series features Barbie in the costumes of indigenous Philippine tribes with miniaturized accessories such as handwoven baskets and containers; beaded bags, necklaces and headpiece; wooden water jug and bowl. Philippine handwoven fabrics and materials were used for the fashions and accessories, which are as intricate in the detailing as the earlier Filipina Barbie dolls. Richwell reportedly spent two years in the research and production of these dolls. There are seven dolls in this series: five dolls were issued in the first edition --Ibaloi, Tagakaolo, B'laan, Ilongot and Ga'Dang -- although pictures of only four dolls were featured in the accompanying fashion booklet (Ibaloi was not featured). Mangyan and Ifugao were issued in the second edition and were accompanied with the first edition fashion booklet.

1997 Santacruzan Filipina Barbie

The series pays tribute to the Santacruzan, a religious procession that commemorates the mythical finding of the Jesus' cross by Saint Helena. Although basically religious in nature, the procession also features women dressed in costumes to symbolize Philippine cultural and historical themes. The women in costume are given the title "Reyna" (Queen). There are ten dolls in this series with production numbers of 1,000 to 1,600 per style.
