We’re BAAAAACK! So excited for our first big event since baby. We’ve got all the fall/Halloween prints and a sneak peek of Holiday 2022! Come see us on the second floor, pretty much smack dab in the middle of all the action!

Hi there 👋🏼 If you’re still following, you’re probably an OG Stout fan. I’ve been pretty quiet on social media lately while I’ve been on maternity leave, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself. I’m Nicole, Stout’s mom (and now Charlie’s mom, too)!

I started Simply Stout at my kitchen table almost 9 years ago wanting to create a dog toy for my puppy’s 1st birthday. I had so much fun crafting it, I just kept going! I had a hard time finding bandanas and bow ties that were big enough for Stout and durable enough for his antics, so I started making my own. Quality and sustainability are the root of everything I make. My goal is to bring you fun items that enhance the bond you have with your dog in timeless patterns that will last through all your best adventures.

Now that we have a new (human) addition to the family, I’m excited to introduce you to some new items that will be launching throughout the rest of the year and beyond.

Thank you for following this journey and allowing me to dress you favorite four-legged friends. ♥️

Xo, Nicole (and Stout, Jeff, and Baby Charlie)

Stout has officially been promoted to Big Brother! We welcomed baby sister Charlie on May 28th. Everyone is happy and healthy, and we’ve just been enjoying these first few weeks together as a family of 4. Some really exciting new things in the works for this fall, can’t wait to share how the newest team member puts her stamp on the biz. ♥️

Hi everyone! I’m sorry for being so quiet over the past weeks, but there’s been a lot happening around here! We are anxiously awaiting Stout’s baby sister anytime and the physical and mental toll of growing a human hit hard. Taking a step back to focus on our family was exactly what was needed.

I’ve still been sending out your amazing orders when they come in, but have been taking it easy in this last stage before baby comes. I always thought I’d want to share every step of this journey with cute pictures of Stout feeling baby kicks and the like, but when it was happening I decided to just lean into the process and enjoy it. On top of that we bought a house and moved to a new neighborhood- including the sewing studio and allllll of our supplies. The process really tested an 8mo pregnant mama.

Thank you all for your love, support, and grace while I navigate this chapter. We aren’t going anywhere, so be on the lookout for new goodies on the horizon.
Xx, Nicole (& Stout)

It’s been a long year, but not without its upsides. We did more shows in 2021 than ever before (all masked and vaxxed!), helped dress hundreds of new and returning pups, and started the expansion of the team…🤰🏻

Goals for 2022:
-Create an entire new line of products along with our bandanas (more to come!) 🤫
-More walks in the sunsets ☀️
-More belly rubs 🐶
-Continue to grow with PURPOSE and INTENT ♥️

Thank you for being on this journey with us, and for following along in this year’s adventures!

We are excited and humbled to re-introduce Simply Stout. Over the past 7 years Simply Stout has continued to evolve and grow, and we wanted our brand to better reflect who we are. We are thrilled to have worked with Chicago designer @margojhawk to bring Stout to life in our logo and branding. You can expect to see some exciting things in the months to come- like new products and more original designs, without losing our personal touch, care, and quality. We are so honored to have dressed over a thousand pups over the years, and can’t wait for you to continue on this journey with us. The best is yet to come! ♥️ Nicole + Stout
