Hi, I'm Chiara
I am a creative artisan working from my studio in Valenzano, in the province of Bari.
It all started with four sugar gliders, my sweet loves.
They are the ones who brought me into this world: I was looking for beds and accessories that were truly suitable for them, safe and beautiful to look at, and eventually, I started sewing them myself. From there, I never stopped.
Today, I handcraft beds, hammocks, tunnels, sleeping pouches, and accessories for sugar gliders, rats, ferrets, mice, and many other small exotic friends and rodents. I use anti-pilling fleece, cotton (depending on the season), and materials chosen to be soft, durable, and safe for those who will spend their days in them. And I make them colorful and imaginative, because your little friend's corner deserves to be as cheerful as they are.
Alongside this, when inspiration strikes, handmade plushies—crocheted or fabric—and personal accessories like hoods and hats are also born. They are unique pieces, often somewhat magical creatures that take shape while I work.
How I work
Almost everything you find in the shop is made to order: you choose the print and size, and I sew your piece especially for you, in 1-2 business days, before shipping it. Some items, however, are ready for delivery and ship immediately. You will always find this indicated on the product page.
There are no warehouses or mass production behind Zampine Creative: there is me, my studio, and my sewing machine. If you have a particular idea in mind or a question about the right size for your pet, feel free to write to me: I answer personally, and I'm happy to help.
