| Byron Lars Treasures of Africa |
The magnificence of Africa is artfully reinvented in the innovative Treasures of Africa™ Collection, the impressive fashion series created by New York designer Byron Lars. |

| Moja™ Barbie® doll is presented in a sleek ensemble of shimmering brown and golden hues. Her three-quarter length chocolate brown jacket is worn over a crop top that is adorned with multiple strands of ceremonial beads, signifying the African treasures of ivory, ebony and gold. Flared hip-hugger pants feature lace that fades from the deepest brown to shimmering gold at the hem. Her enchanting face and full lips are delicately burnished with glittering golden hues and her artistic eye make-up dramatically frames her exotic dark eyes. Decoratively carved faux ivory and golden arm bracelets are complemented by golden African designs printed on her hands and forearms. Finally, her extraordinary hairdo of intricately patterned braids adorned with faux ivory and golden beads majestically celebrates her African heritage. |

Mbili is brought to life in a highly dramatic ensemble of feathers and beads. An extraordinary, ribbed corset of multi-colored beads accents her intricately woven, backless sweater. Her skirt features a ruffled waist and shirred V-line design. A full bustle of ostrich feathers adds wondrous wildlife panache to this remarkably theatrical costume. Ornately styled and decorated with colorful beads, her black hair frames her exquisite face. Azure blue boots bring a final air of contemporary, couture chic. | |

| From The Treasures of Africa™ Collection by Byron Lars comes Tatu™ Barbie® doll, wearing a black and tan woven jacket lined in tricot, and accented with five silvery buttons down the front. The back of her jacket is bare with a silvery cord that laces and ties. Accompanying her jacket is a bronze green shantung skirt that splits at the side. A golden chain belt accented with an African mask draws attention to her skirt. Draping across this doll's left arm is a leopard print stole backed in a lace print. Her dark brown hair has tight curls with beading accents. Accessories include an intricate necklace, earrings, and a bracelet, all accented by golden quill extensions. | Byron Lars returns to a favorite theme to continue his acclaimed Treasures of Africa™ Collection. Inspired by the range and diversity of today's Africa - from towering modern cities to snowy mountaintops - Mr. Lars creates Nne™ Barbie® doll. Named for the Swahili word for "four", this fantastic doll is richly drawn from African motifs, but completely defined by fine couture. Nne™ Barbie® doll struts her stuff in a fitted brown jacket and skirt, faux fur hood and faux fur boots. | ||
