Bloch is preparing a limited-edition Barbie x Bloch dancewear and accessories collection with Mattel, inspired by the 2001 animated film Barbie in the Nutcracker and a reimagined Netflix special. The collection is scheduled to go on sale next month through Bloch stores, select retailers and Bloch’s website; prices and an exact release date were not provided.
Bloch and Mattel are preparing a limited-edition Barbie dancewear and accessories collection inspired by the 2001 animated film Barbie in the Nutcracker and a forthcoming Netflix special. The line is aimed at young dancers and adult fans, and is expected to be sold next month at Bloch stores, select Bloch retailers and blochworld.com.
The collection includes dance apparel such as a pink tutu dress, leg warmers, mesh ballet skirts in black or pink, and a pink wrap top. Bloch’s announcement describes the designs as featuring prints and graphics drawn from Barbie’s roles in both the original movie and the reimagined special. Motifs include Clara’s locket, pointe shoes and ribbons.
Other products include Barbie-themed Bloch Booties, a sweatshirt and T-shirts, plus a large duffle bag, makeup bags and a drawstring bag. The collection also includes a pointe shoe handbag charm and water bottles. A separate Ladies’ range is described as including a black slouch T-shirt and a sweatshirt with similar prints and graphics.
The product announcement does not give an exact launch date, individual prices, a full product list or details about how many items will be produced. It says the collection will be available next month through Bloch’s own stores, select retailers and its online shop. Those plans and product descriptions are attributed to the source report, which identifies Bloch as the collection’s source.
Dancewear Links Two Barbie Films
The line brings a familiar animated film into a practical category for young dancers and ballet fans, combining themed apparel with bags and other accessories intended for classes, rehearsals and travel. For shoppers, the announcement signals a licensed collection that spans both children’s and adult sizing or ranges, although the source does not specify available sizes.
The timing also connects the products to two Barbie releases: the film that debuted in 2001 and a planned new Netflix special. That gives the collection a tie-in beyond general Barbie branding, with the advertised designs drawing on characters and imagery associated with Nutcracker-inspired ballet. The extent of the collaboration’s reach, including distribution outside the named Bloch channels, has not been stated.

From the 2001 Film to Netflix
Barbie in the Nutcracker is an animated film released in 2001. The source report says the original is available to watch now and describes a reimagined Netflix special scheduled for Nov. 1. It does not specify the year for that premiere date, so the timing should be read as stated in the source rather than inferred from the announcement.
The dancewear is a collaboration between Bloch, a dancewear company, and Mattel, which owns the Barbie brand. The collection is presented as limited edition. The announcement also mentions Mattel Clara and Sugar Plum Fairy dolls as related products, but provides no further details about those dolls in connection with the clothing line.
