Do you wish you could have your pet with you at all times? Often, their pres­ence is a calm­ing one; I know that pet­ting my kit­ties always makes me feel bet­ter. But sad­ly, you can’t always have your dog or cat with you. That’s where Makiko’s cus­tom pet doll can help. Inspired by the Guatemalan tra­di­tion of wor­ry dolls, Makiko cre­ates pock­et-sized ver­sions of your pup­per that you can car­ry with you everywhere.

Each doll is formed from felt and stitch­ing and mod­eled after a spe­cif­ic breed. They are kept safe in a lit­tle pock­et sewn from col­or­ful mate­r­i­al that looks like a lit­tle bed. The dar­ling designs are now avail­able in Makiko’s Etsy shop.
