I’m beyond thrilled to introduce Hlub, a handmade Hmong paper doll designed to celebrate identity, creativity, and culture. She’s finally here — and now available to order online!
✨ The Spark of an Idea ✨
The idea for a Hmong paper doll came to me years ago during a visit to a local museum. After a full day of wandering through inspiring exhibits, I stopped by the gift shop. I browsed through shelves of thoughtfully curated treasures—local jewelry, art books, puzzles, games, and more.
But something was missing.
In a city with a vibrant Hmong community, I couldn’t find anything fun, meaningful, or collectible that reflected Hmong culture — something both kids and adults could relate to and enjoy. That’s when the idea for a Hmong paper doll was born.
And now, after years of dreaming and creating — Hlub is here.
