American Girl magazine debuted in 1992 and quickly established itself as one of the biggest and most popular children’s magazines in the USA, particularly among those focused on girls.
The company introduced a refined and elegant 18-inch doll in 1995, which went on to become Truly Me.
American Girl dolls were – and still are – a smash hit, in large part because they’re fully customisable down to features like skin tone and eye colour.
