How long does a keepsake take?

Most pieces take 4– weeks from photo approval. Framed portraits lean toward the shorter end; full-body sculptures toward the longer. You get milestone updates throughout.

What photos should I send?

3– clear, well-lit photos: one front, one side, one full-body. Natural light is best. If a photo won't work, we'll tell you before starting.

Our Story

Made slow. Made for one.

Padmori started as a gift — one that was never sent, yet somehow already given.

Our founder had a friend who'd just lost a cat they'd shared years with. We wanted to do something, but didn't know what. Almost by chance we tried needle felting — turning the friend's most-used photo, strand by strand, into something they could hold. When they received it, they said only: "it feels like welcoming them home."

That one line wouldn't let the experiment end. Since then, piece by piece, we've made one keepsake after another for people who've lost a pet, or simply want to keep one close. A private act of comfort grew into a small studio with a single purpose: turning a photo into something you can hold.

At Padmori, they were never just pets. They're always the family member you keep close.

Made slow

At least four weeks, never careless

Made for one

One pet, one pair of hands

What custom really means

We're preparing our launch collection. Until real customer reviews arrive, here's what we promise to be transparent about.

01 · Handmade isn't identical

Needle-felt is entirely by hand; each piece carries tiny human variation. You receive a checkpoint and preview before any irreversible step.

🐾

Your detail comes first

Photos and references reviewed carefully

02 · Photo quality matters

Dark, blurry, or heavily filtered photos hide important detail. If a photo isn't suitable, we'll ask for better references before starting.

Three angles best

Front, side, and full-body recommended

03 · Shipping can shift

International shipping may pause at customs or postal handoffs. After shipment we email you a tracking number and proactively help if an order stalls.

Most pieces take 4– weeks from photo approval. Framed portraits usually lean toward the shorter end; full-body sculptures toward the longer. You get milestone updates throughout.

We needle-felt from your photos and send a preview before the final step. If a detail is off, we adjust. Handmade means tiny human variation –but likeness is the point.

3– clear, well-lit photos: one front, one side, one full-body. Natural light is best. If a photo isn't suitable, we'll tell you before starting.

Each piece is made for one pet, and we confirm a preview with you before any irreversible step. Full terms are in our Refund & Cancellation Policy once we launch.
