The Chartres dolls fair opens its doors to visitors this Sunday, March 13, at the Maîtrise-Table Saint-Yves. The show, organized by the SOS sick doll store, in Chartres, resumes its quarters only three months after the last edition. Vanessa Brunel, co-manager of the store explains:
“We had to postpone because of the crisis. That’s why it seems very close, but it’s exceptional. We hope to get back to our usual cruising speed”.
