Oh hey there!
Want to know just who is creating your pups cool threads?
Here's a quick MEET CUTE, so sit back and get to know your designer.
Once upon a time there was a fashion designer called Lisa and a dog called Ernest
Ernest had a problem. He couldn't find any clothes to fit his awkward Terrier cross body.
Ernest needed clothes. He needed to protect his arthritic joints against the cold, damp weather in the winter.
Everything that Lisa bought online either gave him enough length in the body but swamped his chest and neck, or fit great around the chest but ended up looking like a crop top.
So in 2015 Lisa decided to put her 2 decades of fashion design to good use and create Ernest some made to measure pieces from her stash of vintage fabrics.
Everywhere the two of them went on walks they would get stopped by admirers wondering where these fabulous coats were from.
Gradually friends, family and friends of friends began asking for coats for their own awkward shaped dogs.
And so an accidental business was born with fit being at the heart of everything.
Ernest was the face and heart and soul of the business for the next 10 years. Everything was road tested by him to ensure maximum practicality as well as style points.
Sadly Ernest crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025. His legacy still lives on now in the hundreds of well dressed doggos that purchase a little bit of his clothing line.

DESIGN
We believe that every dog should have a well fitting outfit which is why we offer a variety of services to ensure that your wardrobe is always on point.

We pride ourselves on creating the most stylish and fashion forward pieces for your puppers without compromising our beliefs. Using sustainable materials such as plant based leathers and corks, metal hardware instead of plastic fastenings on our accessories and repurposing workshop scraps into new designs, allows us to produce eco friendly products with a sustainable heart.
