Long time no speak ✌🏽
Social media breaks really really do help give clarity! I know I’ve taken a few breaks this year but it’s been one of those years 😂
Let’s get real for a second, you know I’ve always been totally transparent with you all!

Have you ever heard the saying ‘tidy house tidy mind’?
It’s absolutely true in all walks of life. I was struggling with money, with direction, with personal circumstances like living situations, I just felt very lost. All the money I made from your amazing orders, went to paying my bills but I had nothing left to grow the business in the way I wanted what so ever, and felt like I was stuck in the same loop.
As a lot of you know I now have the safety blanket of my day job to cover bills ✌🏽 meaning everything I make from Homeward Hound can go straight back into the business, which means I can finally grow in the way I’ve always wanted to! I have plans but I’m keeping them close to my chest for now until I’m really in a position to launch what’s in my mind!
I’m going to stay open and continue to do collars and leads for now, just know there’s something going on behind the scenes…..
Slow and steady wins the race 🐢 and I’ve learnt there is absolutely no rush 🐢❤️

Oh hey remember me? The ultimate dog journal 📚 I haven’t posted these babies in a while as I only have a handful left until restock (not sure when that will be) but there are still a few on the website ready to be packed and shipped 📚❤️🥰

I’m sorry but, does it not BLOW your mind, that your collar is made from this?! Swipe to see >>>>
Every time I actually think about it I’m like WOW how has this finished product come from PINEAPPLE LEAVES?! It will never not amaze me 🤣🍍
When you buy our collars you aren’t only supporting me as a small business, and planting a tree with your order, you are also helping to keep the need for the production of pineapple leaf waste- meaning more jobs for the local communities where they come from ❤️🍍

So from today onwards in Manchester this week we have another heatwave!! I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing and know yourself anyway but just a reminder to please not to walk your dogs in this midday heat ☀️ and all the usual keeping your dogs cool tips! It’s a scorcher this summer, we’ve got highs of 30 here in the UK! Where are you based and what’s the temperature like there?

The full ‘knitted sweater’ set on tan pineapple backing 🥹🍍 the cosy autumn sweater vibes but also super neutral for all year round 🌍

Do you have any questions about the fabric? The way it’s made? Any and all questions you have please fire them over and I’ll be sure to answer them ❤️ I’ve also created a page specifically about the fabric over on the website so be sure to go and have a read 🍍♻️🌍

Launch day wasn’t quite as busy as I would’ve liked but we move ✌🏽😂 small business life really isn’t all of the glitz and glamour it may seem on Instagram. It’s hard, it’s time consuming, it’s stressful, and you can empty your bank account for a launch and not even make 10% of the money back- that’s just the reality. But I won’t let it keep me down ✌🏽❤️ Thankyou to everyone who did place an order!❤️
I’m on a mission to make the dog industry more animal and environmentally friendly ♻️🍍 who’s with me?!

Photo cred 📸 🥺😭❤️

P.s. Thankyou to all of my amazing reps who really do have my back through thick and thin, from the insane photos they get for me to the overwhelming emotional support- I couldn’t do this without them ❤️
Thankyou couldn’t do it without you guys ❤️

And WE’RE LIVE 🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍

The course of a small business never did run smooth- I set everything to timers to go live at 7pm and shocker, shopify!!! Didn’t work! So just had to manually make everything active in 0.03 seconds 😂

Todays the day!!!! 0 sleeps! We’re doing things differently going forward so with each collection we launch everything is limited edition this time round! It means that I can focus more on season to season fabrics and also try and create some form of work life balance 😂🤞🏼🫣🤭 (probs unlikely lol)
I’ll see you all at 7pm for all the pineapply goodness ❤️🍍

‘Emerald City’ 🌃 The last of the tweed in the autumn collection, and you’ll all recognise this one but it’s with a new twist! 🍍

27/07/2022

So Instagram seems to hate me at the moment so I feel like I should just post multiple times to show you all what’s coming cos no matter when I post or how I space it out it makes no difference😂 screw your Instagram!
Introducing ‘knitted sweater’ with chocolate backing 🍫

27/07/2022

Im torn between “Midnight sky” 🌌 or “Galaxy” for this beauty- help!!!? This time on the Tan 🍍 ‘leather’ I’m actually a little obsessed with this one, just a gorgeous deep black with flecks of multicoloured throughout 🤤

Introducing, ‘Grandmas House’ on chocolate ‘leather’ 👵🏼🏡
the first of our pineapple “leather” and Harris tweed slip collars.
You might be wondering where the name came from 🤔😂 we looked at this fabric and jokingly said, it looks like something you’d find at your grandmas house…. And I loved it 😂👵🏼

What do you think?!
Of the name?
Of the leather?
Of the whole vibe?! 🫣🍍♻️🌿

26/07/2022

So a few of you guessed it! The new ‘leather’ we have sourced, is strictly made from pineapple leaves 🍍 I’m sorry but how frigging cool is that?! As a vegetarian, I love the aesthetic of leather but just can’t bring myself to buy it, and the PU/faux leather options are often way worse for the environment than normal leather is, so there started my quest for something animal friendly and environmentally friendly!! ♻️🍍 here’s just a few reasons why we chose pineapple leaves! Will be sharing much more when the website is reopen ❤️🍍♻️🌿

26/07/2022

Our second colour combo multi-way lead 🤭🤎🍂🪵🌿
I’ve got most photos I need now (I think) so the next week will be me uploading everything new to the website! Then suuuuupaaa soon I’ll be showing you a few more collars but for now I’m just about to go and drive a go kart down a mountain with no barriers or breaks 👋🏼 🤭

25/07/2022

Out of about 280 photos, I couldn’t get 1 where they were both looking 🥹Which is your fave? Chocolate or Tan 🤭🍫🧋🍍

25/07/2022

Good morning from our newest ‘Baring All’ collar in chocolate 🍫 coming august 5th 🤭 a few of you have guessed what this is made out of, I’m going to give you a full break down of what it’s made from and why we chose it very soon 🤎 🍍

24/07/2022

I love the newy newness coming soon 😭 maybeeeee I have new styles of lead coming 🥹🫣 some gorgeous new tweeds in the mix and has anyone guessed what this lush ‘leather’ is yet? 🫣

21/07/2022

There’s a clue in this photo as to why our newest additions are very different to what you’ve seen on the market before….. any guesses? 🤭🕵🏼‍♀️

15/07/2022

I’m pretty sure posting at 22:30pm is frowned upon by Instagram but here we are 😂
Something is coming that I’ve never seen before, everything available will be limited edited and once it’s gone it’s gone! So set your alarms for something super brand new, fresh and exciting 😍🤭 I hope you like it! 🤞🏼🤭

06/07/2022

🍍
It’s July 6th. Can someone tell me where the suns at? 🤭🍍☀️

03/07/2022

Soooo I posted this yesterday but realised I posted with the wrong green of the new branding and the background image was also slightly off centre. So I’m defo deleting and reposting 🙊🙈♻️ just pretend you’ve never seen it before 🤪
