Sara and Dara dolls are popular Iranian toys. They were first introduced in 2002, as an alternative to the Barbie doll. 100,000 of the dolls were made in the first round of production, by a manufacturer in China. The dolls cost less than Barbie dolls, and are meant to promote Iranian culture over America.[1] Sara and Dara are available in different styles. Each style is modeled after a traditional clothing specific to one of the 30 Iranian provinces.
