Related background:

Ruth Handler was born in Denver, Colorado, USA in 19 16. Ruth Handler once recalled that as the youngest child, she never lacked love when growing up. It is because there is so much love from childhood that she will have childlike innocence and design a lovely Barbie doll.

By chance, Handler tried to make small furniture from the waste left over from making picture frames and found that it sold well, so the company added another business to design and manufacture furniture for children's playrooms. A few years later, the company began to make money, and its main business turned to producing toys.

1958, they obtained the patent right to produce Barbie dolls. This kind of doll will change an era. She is different from the previous doll. She is an adult, with slender limbs, fresh and moving. Although the figure is very good, it is tightly wrapped in beautiful clothes. Finally, Ruth gave her daughter Barbara a nickname "Barbie" for this lovely doll.
