    FYI. My Catrina is a work of art and you guys did a phenomenal job packaging her.

    My Catrina arrived completely undamaged. If anyone is familiar with authentic Catrina dolls can appreciate their fragility. Zenwaro not only did a wonderful packing job but also preparing me for what to expect when unpacking and how to handle. Thank you so much! She’s beautiful!
