🌍 Crafted with Purpose, Not Just Production 🌍
At Green Dog, every accessory is hand-crafted with a commitment not just to detail, but to sustainability. It’s disheartening to see the rise of fast fashion in the pet industry, with mass-produced items often made far from home. While I respect the effort brands put into their overseas production, I believe in something different: the value of creating here, in the UK, where quality takes precedence over quantity. Expansion isn’t about increasing volume—it’s about enriching from within, with every piece made responsibly and thoughtfully.
Many have suggested I leverage my ability to speak Mandarin to “expand” by producing in China. But to me, true expansion is about deepening my values, not abandoning them for volume. Quality over quantity, always.
🐾 Waste Not, Want Not 🐾
In my studio, even the smallest scraps have a purpose. Instead of discarding leftover materials, I repurpose them into unique pieces. If you’ve visited me at markets, you may have seen one-of-a-kind items made from these bits and pieces which I can’t lie are always the first items to sell first 😂 .
📿 Introducing Scrap-Key Chains 📿
Thanks to the rising demand for my leads, I now have plenty of rope ends—and I’ve decided it’s time to share these unique key chains online. Just like my market pieces, each key chain is different. No two are alike, and once they’re gone, they’re truly gone. What you see is what you get; no standardisation here. That’s the beauty of handmade: it’s personal, unique, and created with care right here in the UK.
Celebrate uniqueness with me. Every piece you own is a piece of craftsmanship, a story, a choice for quality over fast fashion. 💚
