“We continued to see the market grow with more people reaping the rewards dogs can have on our lives. We’ve worked hard on designing products that complement dogs and not take over, ensuring they’re both stylish and functional. We’ve got lots of exciting plans coming up for next year.”

Two new accessories will be joining the catalogue of luxury products with the latest addition of “pillow dog beds” being available for preorder. Each product is handmade and built to order in the firm’s Edinburgh studio using quality, UK sourced yarns.

After establishing a presence in the US, the brand is looking to expand into new international territories, such as China and Japan, which both have a high population of household dogs, as well as to grow its wholesale presence in 2022.
