Barbie - Barbie doll Suite Retreat Barbie - 2000-2010 - China

**Barbie Fashion Model Collection – Suite Retreat – Genuine Silkstone – Gold Label – Robert Best – 2005** A particularly stylish and now-classic **Barbie Fashion Model Collection (BFMC) Silkstone**: **Suite Retreat Barbie**. This elegant redhead collector doll belongs to the beloved original Silkstone Barbie generation and was designed by the renowned Barbie designer **Robert Best**. Suite Retreat officially appeared in **2005** within Mattel's prestigious **Gold Label** collection and carries the product number **G8078**. The packaging and documentation note the original copyright period around 2004, which is why this doll is regularly offered on the collector market as the **2004 Suite Retreat Silkstone**. The offered specimen is especially attractive because not only the doll and the original box are present, but also the accompanying **original documentation and Certificate of Authenticity**. In the photos you can see, among other things, the certificate, the Limited Edition documentation, and the Gold Label packaging. Suite Retreat is made with the famous **Genuine Silkstone Body**. This heavier, high-quality construction was specifically developed for the Barbie Fashion Model Collection and gives the classic Silkstone dolls their characteristic luxurious look. The doll features beautifully voluminous **dark red/ Auburn hair**, the elegant classic BFMC facial expression, and a refined vintage glamour aura. Her outfit consists of a luxurious cream-colored **charmeuse pyjama set/lounge wear**, finished with contrasting black piping. The jacket has sheer chiffon sleeves and faux-pearl details. The matching short trousers and black high heels complete the look. For this offered example, the **black shoes are still separately in the original pouch** and the **original black Barbie stand** is also included. These are important advantages for the serious collector, because loose accessories, stands, and original documentation are often missing with older Silkstones. The photos also show that the doll is still in her original presentation packaging. The original Gold Label box is also present. Given the age, the box and packaging materials may show slight signs of aging and wear. Please examine all photos carefully; these form an important part of the description and reflect the actual condition of this piece. **Suite Retreat is now over twenty years old** and belongs to the earlier period of the Barbie Fashion Model Collection. It is precisely the combination of Robert Best design, the original Genuine Silkstone Body, Gold Label edition, and the classic couture style that makes this BFMC generation beloved by collectors. That there is still interest in this edition is also evident from recent sales: a Suite Retreat sold in July 2026 for **US$170** and another example fetched **US$170 after 8 bids** at a collector auction. These are of course market examples only and no guarantee of the value of the offered piece. **Details of this piece:** Barbie Fashion Model Collection – Suite Retreat – Gold Label – Genuine Silkstone Body – designed by Robert Best – Mattel – official release 2005 – product number G8078 – original Gold Label packaging – original black stand – black shoes/accessories – Certificate of Authenticity and original documentation included.
