For as long as I can remember I have loved dogs. More than any other animal in the world, they are the definition of true and unconditional love. When I was able to bring my first dog home I wanted her to have the best of everything but what I found was poorly made, mass produced, cheap accessories with fat price tags. I struggled to find anything made from eco friendly materials and to be honest everything just looked the same, I don't like cookie cutter designs. So from my old as hell sewing machine on my dining room table I made my first hemp collars and I haven't looked back. Today I am proud to say my dog accessories are made entirely from earth friendly materials chosen with the planet in mind.
This is it, the dream, the goal, sustainable fashion for all dogs. When it comes to standard practice in the dog accessory industry you will find nylon in almost everything from collars and leads to a variety of toys. Nylon is not a miracle material, it's incredibly harmful to the environment and uses large amounts of water to produce, this contaminated water is often dumped, polluting the local hydrosphere. If that wasn't bad enough, nylon production releases toxic nitrous oxide into the atmosphere which is considered 300 times worse than Co2! How can this still be the status quo? For me, it's just not good enough I think our dogs and our planet deserve better that's why I'm doing everything I can to change those industry standards and give you a sustainable option for your furry family.
As a small business owner I feel a sense of responsibility not only to my customers but to my community as well. I try to give back whenever I can and have several accessories with proceeds going to a few of my favourite charities like The Pack Project UK and The Eddystone Trust. Together we can create real and lasting change and that's really what it's all about at the end of the day.

Tailor & Paws collars and leads are made with super strong, organic hemp webbing and rust resistant, nickel plated hardware. I use reworked vintage materials to cover my accessories, these fabrics are mostly cotton but as some of them no longer have a label the composition is sometimes a mystery.
