A 99-day-old cross-stitch shop with self-published reviews and no disclosed operator behind it
stitchistudio.com is a Shopify storefront selling ready-made and custom-photo cross-stitch kits in Dutch, with multi-currency and multi-locale variants. The shop itself works like a normal retail site: cart and checkout stay on the same domain, there is a photo-upload flow for personalised kits, and shipping and returns terms are published. What holds the score in the moderate band is the operator side: the domain is only 99 days old, no phone number or postal address is shown, no company registration is disclosed, and the review page's testimonials are self-published and also appear word-for-word on a near-identically named separate site. A third-party scanner also labels it a suspicious shop.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
stitchistudio.com is a Shopify storefront selling ready-made and custom-photo cross-stitch kits in Dutch, with multi-currency and multi-locale variants. The shop itself works like a normal retail site: cart and checkout stay on the same domain, there is a photo-upload flow for personalised kits, and shipping and returns terms are published. What holds the score in the moderate band is the operator side: the domain is only 99 days old, no phone number or postal address is shown, no company registration is disclosed, and the review page's testimonials are self-published and also appear word-for-word on a near-identically named separate site. A third-party scanner also labels it a suspicious shop.
Who runs the shop is not answerable from the site
The captured pages list a contact email on the shop's own domain, info@stitchistudio.com, and link out to Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest profiles, so there is at least a traceable channel. Beyond that, the business is hard to pin down: no phone number is listed and no operator postal address is visible, and the domain was registered only 99 days ago through Tucows with ownership details withheld.
A young domain is not proof of anything by itself, and plenty of small shops launch this way. It matters here because the storefront is dressed up as an established brand, with a 50% off autumn sale banner and a large review count, while the business behind it stays unnamed.
The 4.9/5 rating is the shop's own, and the same quotes appear on another site
The reviews page shows a 4.9/5 average from 1,247 reviews, but it states the experiences come from reviews already used by Stitchi Studio, so the rating is self-published rather than drawn from an independent review platform. The same testimonial text, including the story about a dog named Mio, appears verbatim on stitchlystudio.com, a separate site with a near-identical name.
That name overlap extends to the shop's partner link, which points to an affiliate portal on the host stitchlystudio.goaffpro.com under the label 'Partner of Stitchi Studio'. The link is a marketing programme rather than an order path, but it reinforces that the two names are connected while the site never explains how.
An outside scanner also rates the site a suspicious shop, citing blacklist detections, the very young domain and the absence of an established public review history. That is a third-party assessment rather than a customer complaint, and no user reports of non-delivery or refused refunds were found in what we reviewed.
Clean connection and a same-site checkout, with one stale antivirus hit
Nothing technical points to malware or phishing. The browser threat feed returned no warning, the TLS certificate chain is valid, and the site sits on Shopify infrastructure whose hosting IP carries an abuse confidence of 0/100. One saved antivirus engine, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, flagged the domain as malicious, but that observation is stale and should be re-checked rather than treated as a current verdict.
The buying path is ordinary: the cart, the shop listing and the photo-upload flow that turns a customer photo into an embroidery preview and then a kit all stay on stitchistudio.com, and no cross-domain order or payment redirect appeared in the link graph. Email capture is limited to a 5% first-order discount pop-up and a back-in-stock notify form, which are marketing mechanics rather than evidence of recurring billing.
The published terms say personalised photo kits cannot be returned or cancelled once production has started, while ready-made kits get a 14-day window via the contact form. That is a real limitation to know before uploading a photo and paying, not evidence that anyone was refused a refund.
Why the score is 52
1 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.

The evidence in this saved scan is mixed or incomplete; the completed checks are detailed above.
stitchistudio.com was registered very recently when this review was saved. Freshly-registered domains are disproportionately used for scams, so a young domain whose evidence is mixed or incomplete warrants extra caution.
