About:

My name is Esther Orlando, the owner of Irresistables.com and founder and developer and creator of IRHSP. (Irresistables Heat Set Paints). I have always had a passion for dolls since I was a little girl and it was always my dream to have a doll store. I started out in the collectibles and finished doll business and it grew into a business that focused on anything and everything having to do with reborning. Irresistables was started in 1995 out of my home and has grown into a multi-faceted business having 3 companies operating under one roof in our 3,000 square foot warehose in Rockford, Illinois. Irresistables is our retail site, Irresistables Wholesale, Inc. is our wholesale dealer site and in 2023 we released our new brand IRHSP heat set paints and mediums to the world. In addition, as part of our IRHSP family we started a teachers program for any established reborn artist that wants to teach using our paints and mediums for their classes. They will be set up as a teacher on our site and for each purchase over a certain amount, they will get a discount. We currently have about 15 teachers working and teaching with IRHSP. I love what I do but what makes me most happy is definitely working with the customers/collectors and networking with other established businesses to gain and spread knowledge to our worldwide customer base. I am a big advocator in fighting counterfeit doll kits and have worked very hard over the years having had success in removing over 300 dolls/kits on Ebay, Etsy and Amazon. Personally, my husband and I have 5 children between us and have added 5 grandchildren to the mix. We travel back and forth from our home in Cherry Valley, Illinois to our home in Scottsdale, Arizona frequently. In addition, my partner in life as my husband and my partner in all 3 of our companies, Lorenzo and I love to scuba dive in all parts of the world so we take at least 2 trips per year doing this. I am honored to be a part of this very esteemed group of people and look forward to participating in any way I can.
