About Us

Our Legacy

Welcome to the Virtual Doll Convention, where every doll tells a story and every collector finds a home. Founded by Rachel Hoffman, our journey began in a cozy corner of Colorado, rooted in a family legacy that has blossomed into a thriving global community. For over 40 years, our shop has not just sold dolls; it has fostered a passion and respect for the art of doll collecting.

From the loving hands of Rachel’s mother, Diane Hoffman, a renowned doll dealer, to the innovative digital platforms Rachel has pioneered, the Virtual Doll Convention stands as a beacon for doll enthusiasts around the world. Our legacy is built on a foundation of acceptance, diversity, and the shared joy of collecting.

Who is Rachel Hoffman?

Rachel Hoffman is more than the steward of her family’s legacy; she is a visionary for the doll collecting world. Taking the reins in 2020 after her beloved mother’s passing, Rachel transformed the traditional doll shop into an inclusive, vibrant online community. Her dedication to the doll community extends beyond business—Rachel is a fervent advocate for the empowerment and creativity that doll collecting can inspire. 

With an eye for the unique and a heart for the collector, Rachel continues to push the boundaries of what a doll convention can be. Under her leadership, the Virtual Doll Convention has introduced exclusive educational content, innovative subscription boxes, and interactive online events that connect collectors from every corner of the globe.
