The Legacy of the Playmobil Victorian Mansion

For '90s girls, class=Victorian pleasures.

The Playmobil Victorian dollhouse was a status symbol for millennial girls — not because it reflected anything about our real lives, but because it offered a portal to the so-called “olden times.” If you were the lucky owner of one, it meant you had taste — the kind of taste a seven-year-old associates with miniature fainting couches and heavy drapery. (I, sadly, did not have a Playmobil dollhouse. However I did have an antique hoop-rolling game, a Hanukkah request.)
