Why was the doll called Tilda?
The character was invented and brought to life by Tonne Finanger, a resident of Norway. She named her first doll Tilda in 1999, and later used the name as a brand. The choice of name is not accidental. In the Tonne family, all women were called by the letter "T". After much deliberation, the name Tilda was chosen. Now the doll walks around the world and brings joy to millions of people. Her popularity is growing day by day.
Quirky and naive characters with a bright blush on their cheeks symbolize the warmth of the family. The absence of a mouth in the doll indicates that it accepts the mood of its owner and fully agrees with it, without expressing its own emotions.
Do not take Tilda too seriously, in her world there is no serious view of life. The doll is perceived as what it is. Of course, you can draw her mouth and nose, but then her individuality will be lost, she will cease to be Tilda.
Slavic peoples made dolls without faces. It was believed that an evil spirit cannot inhabit a faceless creature. Such a doll was both a talisman and a toy for the child. Tilda became a continuation of this tradition.
