Vintage Madame Alexander “Eloise” Doll | Kay Thompson Plaza Hotel Character | 8” Boxed Doll | 2000

A delightfully nostalgic early-2000s Madame Alexander “Eloise” doll inspired by Kay Thompson’s famously mischievous Plaza Hotel heroine. This 8-inch edition captures the iconic look of Eloise with her black suspender skirt, puff-sleeve blouse, and signature pink bow — all presented in the wonderfully theatrical original pink striped presentation box.

The packaging itself is part of the charm here, filled with whimsical quotes and Hilary Knight illustrations that make it feel as much like a collectible display piece as a doll.

Why We Love It

There is something timeless about Eloise — equal parts New York wit, childhood chaos, and classic illustration. The pink striped box presentation is especially charming and displays beautifully on a bookshelf, nursery shelf, or in a collection of literary and character dolls.

A sweet crossover collectible for Madame Alexander collectors, Eloise fans, and lovers of nostalgic New York style.

Styling Notes

Perfect styled in a child’s vintage-inspired room, tucked onto a bookshelf beside Eloise books, or layered into a playful maximalist display with children’s classics and toy collectibles.

Also charming for holiday gifting or nostalgic display in a guest room or library.
