Vernon & Fhilip

Beauty R Us Barbie Museum was created in loving memory of Fhilip, a passionate fashion designer with a deep love for Barbie dolls, beauty and creativity. Together with his life partner Vernon, Fhilip shared a love for fashion, collecting and restoring dolls.

After Fhilip passed away, Vernon brought their dream to life by creating a museum that celebrates Fhilip’s passion and preserves the beauty he collected. Today, the museum features over 900 unique Barbie dolls and collectibles, including rare and treasured pieces such as the Pink Splendour Barbie.

More than a museum, Beauty R Us is a heartfelt tribute to love, fashion, memory and imagination — a place where visitors can experience collector’s items, nostalgia and glamour in the heart of Mokopane.
