Only 6 months ago, the Mirror Movement was only an idea. As of today, they just launched their very first product on Kickstarter.
They signed up for the Starter Package in March this year, just before they ordered their first prototype.
In this case study, you will learn how they made it this far in only a few months, and how Simon Stokes and his wife are about to, quite literally, change the shape of the doll industry as we know it.
My wife is passionate about helping reduce the impact of negative body image on young people, after revealing her own 20 year battle with an eating disorder.
This passion spurred her on to develop the Mirror Movement in November of 2017, a movement for mothers with food and body image issues that also have daughters.
After overhearing our daughters playing in the bath one night, our eldest daughter commented on how beautiful Barbie’s body was.
This alarmed my wife, after all, Barbie’s body is unattainable and unrealistic and she began thinking about the lack of size diversity in our children’s world. This led to her coming up with the idea of a doll range that highlighted the varying shapes and sizes that we come in.
These body sizes are based around the shapes of fruit; you can’t have a fruit salad with one fruit, nor can you have a society that only promotes one body shape.
We can help you manufacture products in China, Vietnam & India?
Yes. For the past 25 years I have been working as a teacher, teaching abroad and in Australia. It wasn’t until my wife, who was also a teacher, had the desire to follow her passion to create the Mirror Movement, that the direction of our lives took a turn.
I never imagined that we would be learning how to develop and sell products. It has been an exciting, yet challenging time, but one where i have learned a lot. Continue reading [Case Study] The Body Positive Dolls: Shaping up the Toy Industry

Largely concentrated in Guangdong province, and Shantou city in particular, China’s toy industry is the worlds largest. Startups and Multinationals alike, are importing toys directly from Chinese manufacturers. In this Product Guide, we explain what importers must know about Toy Safety Regulations, Labelling Requirements and Testing Requirements. In addition, we also explain why compliance with overseas standards and directives cannot be taken for granted, when sourcing manufacturers in China, and other Asian countries.
For obvious reasons, specific safety standards and substance restrictions apply to toys, and other children’s products, in most developed markets. The scope of products fitting inside the definition of a toy, or a children’s product, is wide. That said, most applicable directives and standards can be grouped in at least one of the following categories: Continue reading Importing Toys & Children’s Products from China – A Complete Guide
In this week’s product guide, we share our expertise on children’s and baby clothing manufacturing in China. What may not come as a surprise, especially not for our regular readers, is that the emphasis in this guide lies on product compliance: including substance regulations, labelling requirements and physical properties. In addition, we also explain what you must know about product testing – and why importers in this field are wise to stay away from ready made ‘off shelf’ items.
Children’s products, including clothing, are strictly regulated in all major markets, including the United States, Australia and the European Union. Noncompliance penalties are severe, and range between US$5, 000 to US$100, 000, per violation, in the United States. Penalties in Europe, for example the United Kingdom, are slightly lower, but can result in imprisonment of up to 6 months, and a fine of £5,000 per violation. That is, of course, in addition to the obvious fact that all non-compliant baby and children’s clothing are subject to an immediate forced recall.
