Meet The Founder

Lou Peters & the Upper Dhali® story

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with making keepsake dolls. Giving life to memories and celebrating special moments - it's personal. It's intimate. And it's an honour to be chosen to create you some magic.

Kick off your shoes (we don't wear those around here!), and let me invite you into my creative space.

I'll tell you a story about how a simple nursery rhyme, childhood innocence, and a moment of personal grieving began the new generation of sentimental keepsake dolls that is Upper Dhali®.
