THE FAT LAB - FINAL COLLECTION
After much thought and many mixed emotions, I have decided to close the kennel doors on The Fat Lab.
This hobby started as a single collar that I made for Elsa and turned into a side hustle that had me shipping literally thousands of items to people and their dogs all over the world.
I am beyond grateful to everyone who has supported me over the last five years but now it is time for me to step back, breathe and focus on my mental health.
What I have listed on Etsy is the last product release I am doing, once it's gone - there wont be any restocks so if you see something you like - don't wait!

Thank you,
Jess, Elsa and Willow

I’ve got one thing to say to ya -
I’ve never had a collection that sold out as quickly as the “Look at Moi” line did. You guys even crashed the site at one point because there were so many people trying to check out at the same time - holy hell!!
I know there is a lot of us that have so much love for our favourite family from Fountain Lakes and I’m so sorry if you out on this round but I have ordered more fabric and everything should start to become available again in around two weeks.
You are all greash! Thanks again and I’ll be back very shortly with some hot suggestions x

The Fat Lab is back - and better than ever!

Hi everyone, I'm so excited to FINALLY have the store open again, thank you all for being so patient with me. I made the decision at the end of last year to close my Etsy store to give my mental health a break. I wasn't enjoying what I was doing anymore and wanted to give myself a chance to recuperate and decide if I actually wanted to keep the business open. Now that i'm rested, I feel like i'm ready to dive back in, head first and at full speed.

Over the break, I completely renovated my studio and it's now exactly what I had envisioned my creative space would look like when I was making my first collars back in 2019. The space is bright, sleek and easy to navigate. I've also been busy drawing up some new designs on procreate. I'm reopening with 14 NEW DESIGNS to start with and have more coming very soon! To all my customers and followers who reached out to me on Instagram to check on my welfare - the word thank you isn't enough. I have struggled with Mental Health issues my entire life and have always kept my problems to myself. The idea that people I have never actually met were thinking about me and wondering if I was ok is very humbling and made more of an impact than you realise, so if you are one of those beautiful humans, from the bottom of my heart - thank you.
