Shop Bestsellers From Staud’s Pet Collection
Holiday gift–buying season has commenced, and there’s a high probability of someone on your list this year being a pet-owner who’s obsessed with their canine or feline child. The best way to honor their devotion to a four-legged creature? By shopping Staud‘s perfect-for-gifting custom pet portrait collection, in which everything is 20 percent off for a limited time with the code PET20.
Once you take one good look at all that Staud offers under this category, you’ll be all too tempted to snag the pieces for yourself, too: putting Fido’s face on leather, crescent-shaped shoulder bags in the season’s hottest hues and apparel like jean jackets, cashmere sweaters, as well as crisp button-downs and fit-for-lounging sweatshirts.
The way it works is simple: Once you’ve decided which bestselling Staud piece to adorn with a true-to-life painting of your furball, you can drag and drop his or her image onto the product’s landing page. It’s even possible to add two of your pets to the designer handbag or shirt in question; in this case, you’d be wise to upload a clear photo depicting them together. Per Staud, every custom pet piece comes out looking different from the next (because your furry friend is one of a kind!) and the “painting style may vary based on the artist assigned to your order.”
As far as the execution timeline here, the entire process, from order to delivery at your doorstep, takes five weeks in the best of cases and sometimes up to eight weeks during the busy season (read: the lead-up to Christmas). Staud recommends ordering your personalized creations before November 9 to ensure you or your loved ones get them before the holiday.
On its leather goods — from the chic Kaia slinger and the on-trend Mini Moon Bag with an It-girl-approved silhouette to the Shirley Pouch for traveling with all your beauty must-haves in style — Staud seals the pet painting with a protective top coat for added resistance to wear and tear (because nothing should chip or fade the face of your precious bestie). Then there are the embroidered offerings that also let you include your pet’s name in cursive (the Staud x C.Bonz Oversized Ryan Denim Jacket is an editor favorite, made in partnership with a California-based embroidery company that’s dressed the likes of Lady Gaga), as well as those that help you immortalize your dog’s or cat’s visage in cashmere blanket form.
While reviews for something like this can be a mixed bag, Staud customers have been overwhelmingly in awe of the quality of product they received from the brand’s pet collection. “I think the artist did an amazing job! I am so pleased, especially because my dog is very unique-looking,” says one happy recipient on Reddit. “It was definitely worth the five- to six-week long wait!” another reports. And the artistry here goes beyond just channeling a pet’s looks: “I’m in love with mine. I think the artists do an amazing job of capturing each pet’s personality,” a reviewer shares.
Inspire many “oohs,” “ahhs,” and “awws” this holiday season by gifting them a handbag from Staud’s custom pet collection.

The option to add two pets on one bag is a relatively recent rollout in the Staud universe, meaning you no longer have to exclude Cooper in favor of Bear or prioritize Bella instead of Orzo. Whether you choose to gift your mom in honor of the cat she just rescued, your dog-obsessed wife, the Christmas-dinner hostess with the mostest who can’t stop talking about her labradoodle puppy, or anyone else with a deep adoration of their pet (personally, we think there’s nothing wrong with a self-gift, too), Staud is here to deliver in spades… and no shortage of smiles.
Order fast to ensure the custom designs arrive before Christmas, and remember to plug in PET20 at checkout. After that, all you can really do is wait as patiently as your dog does while you take treats out of the pantry.
