The idea behind Kothu

Meaning isn’t
mass-produced.

An ordinary object becomes different when it carries something of you.

Kothu is a personal engraving studio built around that simple idea. A name can be a whole person. A small drawing can be a whole childhood. A photograph can take you somewhere you thought you’d forgotten.

Our online creator gives you room to play with those details. The studio review brings care to what happens next: the material, the mark and the piece you’ll actually receive.

Your detail stays yours.

We begin with your words and your image. The normal photo preview uses image processing, so it doesn’t invent a different face.

A preview starts a conversation.

We show possibilities honestly and review the actual material and artwork before making promises.

Small enough to care.

One keepsake or a group of gifts: the details deserve attention. Tell us what matters to you.

Make room for your story.

Bring a photo, a few words or a mark of your own. We’ll help you find its place.
