Thank you so much for such a wonderful keepsake for my daughter! We absolutely ADORE our Lacey Lane wardrobe, so to now own a little blonde mini me doll of one of our favorite dresses is just fantastic! I can't wait to see what other dolls you create, as I would LOVE a customised LaceyLaner collection!

Lou's dolls are the prettiest I've ever seen! We feel all the love that Lou puts in their confection and I can not buy other dolls than his. The work is thorough and of high quality. I can not wait to have the means again to offer other dolls to my daughter.

I am so Privileged

Yesterday we got to delight in the surprise that was our chantilly darling delivered right to the door . As we unwrapped her , I could see story time and make believe come to life before my eyes . So much of a child's imagination is lost in new technologies and make believe is a reserved for the past , i am so privileged that I am able to provide my one and only baby Ella rose with bygone beauties and traditions as exquisite as chantilly. . You are a true artist upper dhali please don't ever stop creating these small wonders for us all to enjoy x

Superb

There are small moments in life where pure magic occurs and it literally takes your breath away.
My daughter and I sat down quietly together, before nap time, to open a beautiful package that arrived today. We have never met the Upper Dhali creator, Lou Peters, but we felt her soul the minute we laid eyes on our Petite Chantilly Darling doll. The time, effort and love that has gone into this superb handmade creation is beyond my comprehension.
The thought that my almost 2 year old daughter will be passing down her keepsake doll for generations to come brings a tear to my eye. The ability to create feeling and emotion through an otherwise inanimate object is a true gift, and in honour of her creator we welcome 'Lou-Lou' into the memories of our family for generations to come.

You are amazing Lou. I could feel the love and every time I see my daughter's doll I just stop in awe and stare at her perfect little face (& everything else)... We just love our Chantilly doll so much

Lou Peters, Founder of Upper Dhali

Female Founded • Purpose Led

Upper Dhali® was founded by Lou Peters in 2012, emerging from a period of personal grief in which creating became a means of reflection and quiet healing.

Learning the art of doll artistry and creating beautiful dolls soon evolved beyond form and technique into a considered practice of preserving others' stories and treasured memories.

Today, Upper Dhali® represents a new generation of heirloom-quality keepsakes — where craftsmanship, sentiment, and story are brought together to create pieces intended to be treasured for generations.

Our dolls are art, created through a slow, deliberate process that prioritises craftsmanship over volume.
