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!
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
As a long time collector of American Girl brand, and Saila being my first Maplelea doll, I was amazed by the quality of the doll and the packaging, this doll so truly beautiful and the outfits to say the least are just amazing quality. Will be buying more for sure!
I was on the fence about this doll, but the pictures do not do her justice. She is beautiful and, of course, well made. Maplelea is excellent quality and this doll is fabulous.
The quality is wonderful, the hair like silk. I especially liked the journal in 3 languages. They thought about everything except underwear. Has to be bought separately.
Everything is in great condition!
My Saila doll is beautiful, and my first Maplelea purchase. Her quality clothing made me want more, both for her and for my other 18" dolls. My son and granddaughter were here when I unpacked everything, and they both noticed the positive quality difference between Maplelea clothing and the American equivalent. Clearly quality matters at Maplelea, and I will support that commitment by purchasing more items, not just those meant for Saila.
I knew from listening to Disblaine on YouTube that Saila came with a story journal but I wasn't sure what to expect. It was fascinating to learn about Saila's family and home. As an American, this was my first introduction to Nunavut. I enjoyed learning about it. The bilingual education offering is brilliant. I hope it succeeds in strengthening the indigenous culture and helps preserve its culture and traditions. I also appreciate that Canada is attempting to atone for its Colonial past.
