Vtg 2003 Blonde Barbie Collector B0144 NRFB Lavender Gown Limited Edition Doll
Product Details
This is the 2003 Barbie Collector Edition (Mattel #B0144), released to commemorate the new year. The doll remains Never Removed From Box (NRFB) and includes her full ensemble: a stunning lavender gown with silver embroidery, a flowing chiffon stole, and matching jewelry. Barbie 2003 embodies elegance and celebration — her off-the-shoulder satin gown shimmers under silver accents, complemented by cascading blonde curls and crystal-like earrings. The design reflects early-2000s refinement and collector-grade craftsmanship from Mattel’s special edition series. Box / packaging condition notes: Box remains sealed and intact with the factory tape and Mattel authenticity seal still in place. Light surface scuffing and mild shelf wear visible on the silver foil finish, consistent with age. Corners remain crisp with no crushing or major dents. Displays beautifully with a clear window and vivid color graphics. As with all vintage boxed dolls, please note that interior rubber bands may have aged or snapped due to storage time. A gorgeous collector’s piece representing Barbie’s enduring elegance — perfect for display or as a thoughtful gift for Barbie enthusiasts. Your order will be carefully packaged and shipped with tracking and insurance for peace of mind. “Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love.” – Nate Berkus, The Things That Matter
