Merike — The Songkeeper Beneath the Waves
One of a Kind Mermaid Doll by Upper Dhali
Where the sea shimmers lavender and the stars kiss the tide, lives Merike — a mermaid known for the songs she carries in her heart. Beneath the surface, she hums lullabies the ocean has long forgotten — soft melodies woven from moonlight and memory.
Merike isn’t like the others. While some collect pearls or chase currents, she gathers feelings — the quiet kind: a wish unspoken, a goodbye not yet said. With every ripple of her glittering tail, she reminds the sea that beauty lives in both joy and sorrow.
Adorned in glistening violets and fuchsia light, with blossoms in her hair and kindness in her eyes, Merike Mermaid is a keeper of stories, waiting for one more — yours.

Colours may appear different in real life or print than on a computer screen. I endeavour to show true colours in all website product images.
Please note that Upper Dhali collector & portrait dolls are ART DOLLS and have been designed as keepsake decor art pieces, and are not toys for play.
- I LOVE THIS DOLL BUT WANT A FEW CHANGES, IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Each doll in this collection is one of a kind and already made, so we’re unable to accept design edits or swaps. - HOW QUICKLY WILL MY DOLL SHIP?
We lovingly wrap and send your doll within 2 business days of purchase. Tracking will be provided once it’s on its way. - I LIKE THE DESIGN BUT PREFER DIFFERENT COLOURS - CAN I REQUEST A SIMILAR CUSTOM DOLL?
Absolutely. While Limited Edition dolls are pre-made, we welcome custom requests, however, there will be custom fee applied. Please visit our Personalised Dolls Collection for the doll style you would like to order your way, or book a complimentary consultation to discuss your ideas. - WILL THIS EXACT DOLL BE RESTOCKED LATER?
No — once adopted, these dolls are gone for good. They’re never recreated in exactly the same way. If one speaks to you, don’t wait. - CAN I ORDER MULTIPLE DOLLS IN THE SAME DESIGN FOR SIBLINGS OR TWINS?
We will happily create as many dolls for you as you desire, just please remember they won't be exactly the same. Contact us or book a complimentary consultation to discuss your ideas.
At Upper Dhali™, every keepsake doll is lovingly handmade with care, patience, and artistry. To preserve the beauty and delicate craftsmanship of your heirloom doll, we recommend the following gentle care guidelines.
Handling
Our dolls are designed as keepsakes for display and light handling. They are not intended as toys for everyday play or rough handling. We recommend supervision if given to young children.
Cleaning
-
Spot clean only using a soft, damp cloth.
-
Do not submerge your doll in water or place it in a washing machine.
-
Avoid harsh cleaners, bleach, or vigorous scrubbing, as this may damage delicate fabrics and embellishments.
Storage
-
Store your doll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
-
Avoid damp or humid environments to protect fabrics and trims.
-
Store dolls standing or lying flat to maintain the natural flow of their clothing and hair.
