Makena's Accessories include a faux-leather zip-front black moto jacket, shoulder bag, and a notebook.
The moto jacket features butterflies embroidered with gold thread. They really pop in person and look better than the photos. Moto jackets are very on-trend this year and this jacket could have been featured in any 2021 fashion spread. It is unlined and has a gold-tone zipper. It looks best partially zipped, but can be worn open or zipped all the way up. When zipped up, the collar does not lay perfectly but is acceptable. The zipper is a bit difficult to maneuver. The two sides must be attached just-right, or it will zip up askew, much like in real life. This is not an issue for me, but made it difficult for my target-age daughter to put on her doll. It is also a snug fit, but not unreasonably so.
The shoulder bag is very simple but with a cute pattern. I would have liked to see it done in the same pattern but in cloth or canvas. The notebook fits well width-wise but peeks out at the top.
The cover of the notebook says "We Rise by Lifting Others." It features blank pages and is meant to be used for Makena's fashion sketches. I like that the cover is already notched so it can open more flat for drawing. This just arrived yesterday with Makena, so I have not yet had a chance to read the book but will update later on how these pieces are reflected in her story.
SKU#: HCJ70
I give this set a B, but my targeted-age daughter gives it an A-.
