Saila Doll, Outfit, Story Journal, and Keepsake Box
Saila's outfit blends contemporary style with her proud Inuit heritage. Her gathered neck t-shirt with an embroidered maple leaf gets an added layer of warmth from the zip-up vest. Her dark jeans have a subtle sparkle so that they glisten like new-fallen snow. On her feet she has traditional kamiik with embroidered felt socks.
This premium quality doll is 46cm (18 inches) tall has a soft, huggable body and poseable arms and legs. Her eyes open and close. She has dark black-brown hair, brown eyes and medium dark complexion.
Saila's 64-page story journal has 3 versions included: English, French and Inuktitut! The journal expands to include the extra journal pages that come with each outfit. The journal includes an extensive glossary as well as a sections with questions, blanks and prompts so you can tell your story too!
A brush is not included with the doll and story journal. To keep the hair on your Maplelea Girl looking its best, we highly recommend the use of a brush with bristles that are made of metal and have rounded ends. Our KM8 Maplelea brush is especially designed for use with these dolls.
Everything is enclosed in a beautiful, newly re-designed keepsake window box that you can use to hold Saila's accessories.

Hi!
My name is Saila Qilavvaq and I live the furthest north!
Reviews
She's so pretty & the doll, as well as the clothes, are such great quality! A huge plus for Inuit representation, you don't see that often, if at all.
I'll happily order from Maplelea again!
We ordered 2 Saila dolls, clothes and accessories for the children coming to our local library. They were so excited when they arrived! The clothes are so well made with care for detail when it comes to the northern Inuit style clothing. We will be ordering more for sure when the amauti is available again - it was out of stock when we placed the order. Thank you Maplelea!
I was so excited waiting for my doll to arrive, I was as bad as a child waiting for a birthday gift to arrive!
She is beautiful, and the journal is far better than the story books that accompany an American Girl Doll. I hope to learn a bit of a new language with the journal.
I was hoping that her clothes would be the same size as the American Girl Doll so that I could use the same pattern for both, but she is a little more petite, an easy adjustment in the pattern.
All in all , she is a great doll, and I can’t wait to get to sewing outfits for her!
Thank you so much for allowing her to cross the border and live here, she will always be a loyal Canadian!
Saila is so pretty in person. And I love her coat and boots, they are very well made. I am impressed. I ordered another couple outfits but they are not here yet. My only suggestion is I would make the keepsake box with no windows for better durability. I plan to order another doll someday. Also do you have a rewards plan?
Thank you

This is my second Maplelea doll. (I really am new to the collection). She is just wonderful.! I love her face and her outfit! She looks so much better in person. Her hair is soft and beautiful. She looks very authentic. I have already ordered 2 more outfits for her.
