1995 Christian Dior Barbie Doll #13168 Limited Edition Gold Brocade Gown With Shipper Box

1995 Christian Dior Barbie , the Limited Edition designer doll from Mattel's Timeless Creations collection, designed by Gianfranco Ferré, Mattel #13168. She wears the gold brocade evening suit: a metallic gold, black, and red brocade gown with a beaded and jeweled bodice, golden beads and rhinestones accenting the sleeves, and golden leaf earrings. Her blonde hair is pulled back in an elegant chignon. This is the gold brocade variant (#13168), not the 50th Anniversary edition. This doll has never been removed from her box and comes with her original Mattel shipper box , the plain outer carton Mattel used to ship her to stores. The shipper is the collector-grade extra here; most sellers offer the doll box alone. Condition: the doll herself is mint and untouched in her original insert. The silver collector box shows light shelf wear , a small nick on the top edge, a worn spot on one corner edge, and a few dust spots on the surface , and displays beautifully. The shipper box shows typical storage wear with packing tape and an inventory sticker. Please review all photos, including the close-ups of the box edges.
