Jackie Kokeshi Doll

If you consider yourself a history buff, chances are that you’ve done a little research into Jackie Kennedy Onassis. This fascinating woman is one of the United States’ most popular First Ladies (even after all these years), and she remains a symbol of grace and strength under unimaginable tragedy—the assassination of her husband, John F. Kennedy. To honor this legendary woman, Sketch.inc has created a wooden kokeshi doll painted in her likeness. Known simply as “Jackie,” the hand-painted figurine is wearing one of her most famous outfits, a pink double-breasted wool Chanel suit and a pillbox hat.

Kokeshi dolls are a traditional Japanese symbol of friendship, so why not gift this to your friend who exudes the qualities of Jackie?
