We are Sinthetics
Sinthetics products are the highest quality silicone representations of people; individually handmade in our boutique artists’ studio in Los Angeles. All Sinthetics products have to pass rigorous inspections to meet our expectations of quality and realism. We use low-tech processes from concept to delivery, taking the time to truly hand craft our items for the discerning collector.
We create what you dream.
We work hard to provide you the most realistic silicone items.
When you order a product from Sinthetics you’re ordering a bespoke handmade item. We do not keep stock and every item is individually made with care by real people.
We have no production line, no robots, no machines.
This is not a factory but rather an artists’ studio where you’re receiving individual boutique attention. We have long production times because we work in traditional, low-tech techniques to bring you something truly special.
Our Company
The Sinthetics brand came to fruition in 2011 with the release of the Josie Stevens likeness doll for “Married to Rock”. Josie permitted us to continue using the mold based on her body, the 1H, in regular production. Sinthetics are produced by LHI Arts & Entertainment, the 2nd company to produce the brand. LHI Opened in 2015 to continue the brand when the owner of the previous company changed the corporate direction. We are happy to have the opportunity to continue such a unique line of items.
The Sinthetics studio is located a few miles east of Downtown Los Angeles. Visitors interested in purchasing a doll are welcome to tour our studio by appointment. Even though we never digitally manipulate the images we publish, nothing can really compare to the up-close in-person experience of meeting a Sinthetic. Feel secure knowing that our photos are accurate representations of what you will receive. Many of the photos on our website are shot in our private on-site studio. All sculpting, mold-making, prototyping, assembly, manufacturing and finishing of the dolls happens on site.
ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE
We host an open house one day during the summer, typically at the end of June. The open house is a visitors’ day when doll enthusiasts can come hang out, get instruction on doll maintenance, care and posing, and ask questions about our work. It’s a great opportunity to meet with like-minded people and the some of the Sinthetics staff. We post dates and information in May on our blog.
