Her essence captures the often-overlooked truth that in life’s great tapestry, the darker threads are as integral as the brighter ones. Each challenge, each unexpected downturn, is laced with the potential for growth, compelling us to find strength we never knew we had. Bittersweet teaches that the question isn’t “why me?” but “why not,” turning life’s tumultuous events into stepping stones for personal development.
However, her journey isn’t void of struggle. When waves of adversity crash down simultaneously, the weight can feel suffocating, testing her resolve. Yet, she embodies the potential for a bittersweet resolution—a testament to the power of perseverance. By embracing the bitterness of these experiences and extracting wisdom from them, she shapes a reality where the sweetness, though subtle, is profoundly rewarding.
Bittersweet’s narrative is a gentle yet powerful reminder that our most transformative moments often come disguised in strife. By seizing the opportunities hidden within life’s trials, she doesn’t just endure; she evolves. Her story encourages us to sift through the ashes of our disappointments to uncover the embers of hope and renewal, illustrating that the richest victories often sprout from the soil of the most challenging defeats.
Her presence serves as a beacon for those navigating their storms, urging them to anchor not in the bitterness of their experiences, but in the sweet potential that each one holds. Bittersweet isn’t just a character; she’s a philosophy, a way of viewing life that champions resilience and finding the inherent value in every chapter of our stories. Introducing a character we call “Bittersweet,” who personifies the unpredictable swings between triumph and defeat in life. Bittersweet is a mosaic of resilience, crafted from moments when joy collides with sorrow, reminding us that while we can’t control every outcome, every setback has a silver lining—if we choose to see it.

ABOUT COCOA SKIN
Soft vinyl, while a wonderful material, is prone to scuff marks. While these are almost invisible on Cinnamon or Tea skin tones, they can be more noticeable on Cocoa. To address this, we provide a free Melamine sponge upon request with your order. Include a note in the order field requesting the "free melamine sponge."
When removing scuff marks, gently buff the surface with the sponge in a circular motion. If the scuff is on the face, take extra care to avoid disturbing the makeup. The process may leave a bit of sponge residue, but it's easily brushed off. Following these steps, scuffs will either vanish or become significantly less apparent.
Please be aware that due to the slush casting process, minor blemishes can occur, which might be more visible on the Cocoa skin tone. If you anticipate this as a potential issue, we recommend considering this factor before purchasing.
ABOUT TAKING PHOTOS
We often hear feedback suggesting that our cocoa skin tone dolls pose a challenge to photograph. For those finding it difficult, consider researching photography techniques or trying out camera apps that offer adjustable exposure settings.
It's worth noting that this advice isn't exclusive to cocoa dolls - it can equally apply to our cinnamon skin tones, where overexposure can be a concern. A slight adjustment of exposure settings (and willingness to learn) can go a long way in getting the perfect shot.
仕様について
ソフビは材質特性上、表面に傷つけやすくなっています。シナモンやティーの肌色には表面の傷はほとんど見えないが、ココアでは目立ちます。このため、メラミンスポンジを無償でおつけすることができます。ご注文の際、メモ欄に「メラミンスポンジくれたまえ」と一言記入お願いします。万が一、爪などで本体にぶつけたら、かすり傷をメラミンスポンジで軽くこすってください。傷は完全になくなるか、ものによっては浅く残ります。
ソフビには湯ジワ、黒点は成形中に発生します。シナモンやティー色の外皮表面には見えていますが、ココア色は逆にこういったシワなどは目立ちます。湯ジワや黒点、白点のない外皮はないので、「こりあダメだわ」と思ったらスマートドールの全ての商品の購入を控えください。

About the wig
The wig that comes with this character is designed with a "turnover" construction allowing the hair to be swept back while minimizing the amount of wig cap showing.
The challenge with this design is the initial difficulty in putting it on. On the upside, it ensures the wig stays firmly in place, minimizing the chances of it being whisked up by the wind and landing in dog poo.
For those with arthritis or similar conditions, it's worth noting that you can leave a note with your order requesting that the wig be attached prior to shipping. We typically add double-sided tape beneath the wig for an added layer of security, but be aware this may leave residue between the head and the wig cap. Check out the video below to see how to attach the wig.
The wig, similar to any tight-fitting apparel, can leave indentations on the vinyl. While all our wigs can cause such marks, this wig tends to produce deeper and more noticeable indentations due to its construction that does not employ elastic - photos on this page are an example.
The styling oil used for the wig might sometimes permeate the wig cap, producing a residue on the head. This residue can appear dark, but it's typically the oil rather than an ink stain.
It might be possible to mitigate some of these indentations by employing a hair dryer and rubbing with some thinner (like the Mr Hobby type shown in the photo). However, outcomes are not guaranteed. If you're planning to keep the wig on perpetually, these concerns may be negligible. But if they pose a potential problem, reconsidering your purchase might be in order. It's worth noting that we don't allow options to select specific wigs, omit the wig from the order, or adjust the cost by excluding the wig's value.
The 'Perfectly Imperfect' document further details issues with our wigs that you should be informed about.
