Choose a Photo That Feels Like Them
Share a clear photo that captures the expression, features, or little details you know best. A front-facing image with natural light usually works best for carving.
If you’re unsure which photo to choose, send us a few and we’ll help you find the most suitable one.
Review and Approve Your Design
We’ll create a custom design based on your photo and send it to you by email. You can review the composition and visible details and request reasonable adjustments before giving your final approval.
Hand-carving begins only after you approve the design.
Carved and Painted by Hand
After the design is approved, an artisan carefully shapes, carves, and paints your portrait by hand. The finished leather portrait is not laser engraved, molded, AI-generated, or mass printed.
Please allow approximately 3–4 weeks for the handcrafting process. We take time with each detail so the piece is made carefully rather than rushed.
Carefully Packed and Sent Home
Once your portrait is finished, we carefully inspect it, pack it in its keepsake box, and dispatch it with tracking. Standard delivery usually takes an additional 6–15 business days, depending on the destination.
It arrives ready to carry on your keys or bag, display at home, or give as a meaningful gift.
