Choose the style

Detailed portrait

Fur, shading and the light in the eyes, like a painting in thread. On the chest or back of a t-shirt, hoodie or sweatshirt.

Cut-out patch

The portrait in the shape of your pet with an embroidered border — to sew onto a jacket, a backpack or a blanket, or to frame.

Line portrait

Just the main lines, in a drawing style. Simpler and more affordable — lovely on tote bags, caps and small items.

With a name

Your pet's name, a date or a phrase next to the portrait — like Óscar's sweatshirt.

Which photo to send

A good embroidered portrait starts with a good photo. Five minutes with your phone makes all the difference.

Natural light

Near a window or outdoors, no flash. The colours of the fur stay true.

Sharp eyes

The eyes bring the portrait to life: if they're in focus, the rest falls into place.

At your pet's level

Get down to their height. Facing you or at three-quarters, with the whole head in the frame.

No filters

Send the original photo, with no filters or effects — and don't crop it too tightly.

Two or three photos

They help us see the colours and markings of the coat.

An old photo works too

If it's the one you have, send it: we'll tell you honestly what we can do.

★★★★★

Simply impeccable work 🤍 The level of detail in the embroidery is impressive, especially the portrait of Óscar, which came out incredibly true to life and full of expression. The quality of the finish, the precision of the lettering and the combination of colours make this piece one of a kind. You can see the care and talent in every stitch. I recommend you without any doubt.

★★★★★

It was a job with a lot of detail, and other companies had already turned it down for being too difficult. I was extremely happy with the result and have already received many compliments thanks to the quality of your work.

Questions

Which animals can you embroider?

Dogs and cats are the most popular, but we can embroider any animal you have a good photo of — horses, rabbits, birds…

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of the portrait, the level of detail and the garment. Send us the photo and we'll tell you the price — the quote is free, with no obligation.

How long does it take?

Drawing a portrait takes longer than a name, so we give you the timing with the quote. For Christmas, message us early.

Can I have two pets?

Yes — on the same garment or on different ones. Each portrait is drawn separately.

What if my pet is no longer with me?

Many people order a portrait as a keepsake. Send the best photos you have, and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.

Can I see it before you stitch?

Yes. We send you a mock-up with the size and colours, and only go ahead once you approve it.

Do you ship outside Madeira?

Yes, to Portugal and the rest of Europe. You can also pick up at our studio in Funchal.

How do I wash it?

Inside out, at the temperature on the garment's label, and iron on the reverse. Avoid the tumble dryer on high heat.
