How it all began
Carter Bryant, a former Barbie fashion designer and former Mattel employee, came up with the idea for Bratz in 2001. He imagined a collection of dolls in modern fashionable clothes. The sharpness of their style appealed to both younger and older children. Bryant sold his idea to MGA Entertainment, and Bratz became their most successful toy manufacturing venture to date.
Bratz dolls are somewhat controversial due to their heavy makeup, perceived attitude, and meager outfits. In the 2010s, the brand experienced many production shutdowns, restarts and rebranding.

The change in the style of dolls in 2013 led to a significant drop in sales. The line ceased production in 2016 due to low sales.
Two years ago, Bratz, founded in 2001, experienced a second wave of popularity when makeup artists, cosmetologists and many others began to recreate the bright eyeshadow and glossy lips of dolls on Instagram. By 2020, #BratzChallenge had surpassed the beauty space and made it to TikTok, where it has more than 161 million views to date. Today, style-oriented fans fully share this trend and recreate the outfits that their favorite doll wears to the soundtrack to the brand’s musical theme (Bratz Theme Song With Lyrics).
For the brand’s 20th anniversary, Bratz dolls have become the fashion muses of 2021.

Bratz dolls also have a unique feature: when you change shoes, you are actually changing their feet, as the shoes and foot come off as one. It’s obviously not very realistic, but it’s fun to play with, and it does solve the problem of losing tiny doll shoes and a vacuum cleaner throughout the house.
Bratz dolls usually come with two outfits, so you can combine their clothes. They also come with various optional accessories depending on the doll you choose and the release. Bratz has a boyfriend, Cameron , which includes two luxurious suits matching and matching each other, two pairs of shoes, sunglasses, and several limited-edition accessories. This set will be a great gift to a child or collector in your life.

2012-2017
In the fall of 2012, Bratzillaz were released as a spin-off depicting Bratz’s “witch cousins”.
In 2013, Bratz had a new logo and a new slogan, and all the dolls received new bodies with articulated arms, with a height corresponding to their competitor Monster High, while maintaining their unique faces and possessing a completely new fashion. Only Khloya, Yasmin, Jade, Sasha, Meigan, Fianna, Shira, Roxy and Phoebe were made in new bodies.
In January 2014, it became known that Bratz would go on another break (but only for the United States) for a whole year in an attempt to restore the brand. This decision was made due to the decline in the popularity of the brand after their previous break in 2010, caused by a lawsuit against Mattel. MGA Entertainment rushed back to Bratz in the fall of 2010 to celebrate the brand’s 10th anniversary, and wanted to give Bratz the return it really deserved.
Bratz returned in July 2015, introducing Ray, a new character (despite having the same name as the previous character) who accompanied the original top four. The Bratz logo was also returned to its original form, and a new slogan was adopted.
