Reborn babies - like living children

At first glance, it is difficult to understand that the photographs are not real children, but dolls. Such amazing and by no means cheap toys are made by Belgian Beatrice Van Landeghem. In her workshop in La Louviere, she creates Reborn babies and sells them in a shop called La nurserie des Tis Lous De Bea.

Super realistic dolls resemble real babies. They have soft, soft "skin" and weigh as much as real children. Since the process of creating handmade dolls is very laborious, their prices start from several hundred euros, and the most expensive items cost several thousand.

The toys are very popular with collectors. Parents who have lost their babies also buy dolls reminiscent of living children.
