Provencale Barbie Doll – Silkstone BFMC CIB (2002) | NRFB Collectors Series

Barbie Fashion Model Collection #50829 – Mattel 2002 Complete in Box | Never Removed From Packaging Step into a world of timeless romance with the exquisite Provencale Barbie Doll, part of the highly sought-after Barbie Fashion Model Collection (BFMC). Designed by renowned doll artist Robert Best, this doll is a shining example of early 2000s Silkstone elegance — a collector's dream and a true tribute to haute couture. The doll wears a show-stopping strapless evening gown in pale blue and ivory floral-printed taffeta, adorned with delicate sequins and beadwork that shimmer with every movement. She is framed by a pale blue taffeta stole and finished with a coordinating petticoat trimmed in matching taffeta. Her romantic updo, drop earrings, and high-heeled sandals complete the look, making her the undisputed belle of the ball. Crafted with a Silkstone body—a porcelain-like material exclusive to the BFMC line—Provencale Barbie has a luxurious matte finish and vintage-inspired weight, offering a premium feel distinct from standard vinyl dolls. This doll has never been removed from the original packaging and remains untouched inside the box. The exterior of the box shows wear consistent with age, including tape marks, scuffing, and a minor slit (possibly from a box cutter) on the top and bottom. Corners are intact with no tearing. All details are depicted in the photos provided.
