Reproduction Brus made with a leather body in the Chevrot style are always lovely!  In the past, I've made Chevrot Brus in a 15" size, a 28" size, and a 30" size.  I hope to add a 20" size and 12" size sometime in the future.  Until I am able to make new dolls, please enjoy the photos below of Chevrot Brus and Bru reproductions I've made in the past.

24" Ethnic Bru Jeune--This ethnic Bru Jeune 11 has the biggest brown paperweight eyes, doesn't she?  Her skin tone is so pretty and matches her reproduction French body perfectly.  She is a large doll at 24".  To get an idea of her size, look at the last photo to see her standing next to a Bleuette-sized June Bug.   SOLD
