Jilly Bing is a doll and toy company created by Elenor Mak and her team of designers to authentically represent modern Asian-American children. The first Jilly Bing doll was launched August 2023. They have now added a second doll to their line up, a 14 inch doll named Riley. The first 500 orders come with a limited-edition, numbered art print of Riley. She sells for $68 (US) and you can buy her outfit separately for $26 (US). Shipping begins in early December 2024, with very limited quantities.
Riley is an adventurous girl of Asian and Caucasian descent. She is full of energy and loves to explore the outdoors, fueled by snacks from her parents’ favorite Asian grocery store. Her favorite treat is Asian shaved ice with sprinkles. When Dad grimaces at the nontraditional toppings, Riley says, ‘My mix, my way.’
When Riley is hiking or playing on the beach, her bucket hat shields her from the sun. But when she needs a buddy, Riley’s hat transforms into Chilly Cheeks, her ‘cool’ Asian shaved ice sidekick, who is always ready to join her on an adventure.
