In Malaysia, there are two kinds of mermaids. The first kind is called dugong. They are very gentle and very rare. They belong to the order of the sirenia, which, translated into French is sirène, which is….. mermaid!

the second kind of mermaids are in fact sirènes-dugongs , just because I design, make them, and dress them with beautiful batik.
My sirenes-dugongs have been adopted to different parts of the world: France, Australia, NZ, Hong-Kong…. And more recently one to Norway. Ruth, her new owner has sent me a picture taken in her seaside holiday cabin. Thankfully, doll mermaid cannot feel the Baltic cold. I do hope though that this one can enjoy the beautiful view.
