Meet Kelly: The 'Sindy' doll sold exclusively in Marks & Spencer in the late seventies.
Meet Kelly: The M&S girl from 1979
Feature, Research and Images by @dollabouttown As told to @dresslikeasindy Often mistaken for a Sindy, Kelly was a doll in her own right - albeit fleetingly. And is the 'forgotten' chapter in the vast Sindy story. Although Kelly was in fact, produced by the same Sindy company, Pedigree Dolls & Toys Ltd. - she was made exclusively for British high-street chain Marks & Spencer and sold briefly in their stores at the end of 1979. Kelly has the same body mould as a 1979 'Funtime' Sindy and was only available as a blonde. A former Pedigree employee revealed she was named after Kelly from Charlie's Angels. Kelly Garrett (played by Jaclyn Smith) was considered to be the most 'popular' angel from the American show which was a huge hit in the UK in the late 1970's also.
