"Rag Doll" is called a Rag Doll, and the name comes from its production materials and appearance characteristics.

From the production materials, "rag" means rags and scraps of cloth in English. Traditional rag dolls are mainly made of old clothes, scraps of cloth, etc. In the past, people would cut old clothes that they no longer wore into suitable shapes and sizes, then sew them together, fill them with cotton, rags or other soft materials, and form a simple doll. The fabrics used for these dolls are mostly waste and rough cloth, so they are called "rag dolls", emphasizing the source and simplicity of their production materials.

From the appearance characteristics, rag dolls usually do not have very delicate shapes and gorgeous decorations. They may not have a very regular shape, the stitching is also more obvious, and the overall look is more casual and simple. This rustic appearance is in sharp contrast to those dolls made of fine silk, velvet and other high-end fabrics and finely processed. The word "rag" also implies the doll's less perfect and slightly rough appearance.
