This folk tale about an unfortunate little girl in a red cape appears to be a very early version of the “Stranger-Danger” education. Originating in 10th century Europe, “Little Red Riding Hood” is a popular children’s story about predator and prey which, sadly, happens to be relevant to various age groups and circumstances.

I always wanted to make my own “Little Red Cape” doll. Given my flair for ornamentation though, it couldn’t be just a simple red cape—the cape had to be amazing. I imagined that Little Red Riding Hood wasn’t a little peasant girl visiting her grandmother, but a rebellious, yet painfully naïve teenage heiress on an ill-advised quest for adventure and independence, who, unfortunately runs into a real predator. There are many stories like mine. Whether this story has a sad or a happy ending is for you to decide.
