THE BEGINNING

A Single Promise in a Tiny Room

Twelve years ago, in a quiet neighborhood, our founder, Lin, sat in her tiny studio apartment. On the table lay an old wooden sewing box passed down from her grandmother.

Lin was not a sculptor. She wasn’t a professional artist. She was simply a woman who had just lost her world.

Her Shiba Inu, Dodo, had been her shadow since college—through heartbreaks, job losses, and new beginnings. When Dodo passed away, the silence in the apartment was deafening. The leash by the door felt like an open wound.

One night, desperate for a way to breathe again, Lin threaded a needle. She didn’t intend to start a global custom pet replica studio. She just wanted to see him one more time.

She stayed up for three sleepless nights. Every stitch carried a memory. Every line of wool held a story. When she finished, the replica wasn’t just a doll—it was a vessel for her love. It helped her sleep again

"It Wasn't Meant for Sale. It Was Meant for Healing."

Lin posted a single picture of Dodo’s replica on a small online forum. Not to sell, but just to share her grief. The next morning, she woke up to an inbox flooded with messages from strangers.

A mother from Taiwan asked: “Can you make my daughter’s cat? She cries herself to sleep every night.”
An elderly man from Singapore wrote: “My dog was my only companion. I would give anything to see him again.”

From Asia to Europe, then to North America, the message was clear: Grief is universal. People didn’t want a toy. They wanted a handcrafted pet memorial that felt real. They wanted healing.

One Needle. One Artist. No Compromise.

Over the next decade, SoulNest grew in the most old-fashioned way: Word of Mouth. No investors. No algorithms. Just one grieving family telling another.

As we grew into the world’s leading bespoke pet sculpture studio, we refused to become a factory.

No Assembly Lines

Every piece is crafted by a single master artist from start to finish

No Shortcuts

We reject cheap materials. We use only premium wool to replicate the exact texture of your pet

100% Soul

Every new artist we train follows Lin’s original rule: “Handle every replica as if it belongs to someone you love.”

"Handcrafting eternal memories, one poke at a time."
