Annalee Virtual Museum: 1990's

In 1990, the company brought back the red and white embroidered tag. It is used over a non poly woven content tag, both sewn in. In 1993 and 1994, the colors of the Doll Society tag changed to green lettering on white. Late in 1995, bar code hang tags were added to the dolls. In 1997, specialty hang tags were developed for limited editions and exclusive dolls. All dolls come with the folded sewn in tag as well.
