I've seen many a Barbie and Ken in national dress of countries where I've traveled and now Serbia is no exception. (These actually are most likely take-offs of the famous couple!) They were proudly displayed in a shop that rents Serbian folk dance outfits. I like the handiwork on them all the way down to their intricate leather shoes called 'opanci," (OH-pahn-tsee). Check out more 'opanci' here .Thursday, November 6, 2008
Barbie and Ken go Serbian!

Those are really nice dolls. I wonder if there are people who collect these in their native costumes?
I guess those are the leather shoes in the foreground.
Thank you for another wonderful find! Love it...Branka
But far more tasteful than our beloved B & K.
My aunt was just in Beograd & I asked what I wanted as a souvenir & now I know for next time! Barbie in opanci - how great it that.
Other very nice photo...
Have a good day !
Interesting... I think it can be a nice souvenir.
That is very cute!
Welcome to Dogs on Thursday group. Bibi looks like a really sweetheart and I watch for future for postings!
I have a polish Barbie doll!
While the dolls may be knock-offs, it looks like the costumes are very authentic. Very interesting!
Those are cute! What shop that sells these? My brother & sister-in-law will be visiting this summer..I asked them to find some small dolls to display for my Serbian table on International Night at my daughter's elementary school.
Mia, there is a little shop on the top of Dobracina Street, almost on the corner with Vasina Street near the National Theater. I don't have your email to write to you. Please write me through the email link under my profile.
