Hey there! I’ve noticed a group of new followers and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Hande Dokur and I am the owner and maker of Silly Buddy based in Chicago. I have a BFA in Interior Architecture however after school I couldn’t seem to find a position in the field that made me happy. In 2008 I started Silly Buddy, just a few months after I adopted my first pupper Buddy. I had a day job and worked nights to fulfill orders. By 2009 Silly Buddy became my full time job. You may have seen me mention Silly Buddy being a one woman operation - well friends, that’s me! Everything purchased from my shop is hand made to order with love and care by yours truly.

My partner, Dan and I have three doggos that supervise this studio behind me; Buddy, 12 (the dapper fella you see on my profile), Woody, 10 and Vedder, 1 who just joined our pack about a few weeks ago. Dan and I both work from home. We are so grateful to be able to spend our days working from home with our dogs.

A few months ago after many requests from customers and friends I started making face masks with 50% of proceeds benefiting My Block, My Hood, My City and the response has been incredible (I am still catching up on mask orders, you have no idea how much I appreciate your patience!). Together we donated over 2K to MBMHMC the first month! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for shopping small and supporting a great cause! Currently I am donating 20% of all sales to MBMHMC and Black Visions

When not in the studio, cutting, sewing or packing, life is pretty chill for me right now. I try to stay in and only venture out when necessary. I enjoy a run around my neighborhood, napping (but seriously, who doesn’t?) getting work done around the house, and you might catch me on my motorcycle for a therapeutic weekend ride outside of the city!

So happy to see you here and thank you so much for supporting a small business. Be safe, stay strong and tell your dog I said hi.

Best, Hande ❤️

These past few days there have been a sea of emails from businesses regarding closures and precautions that are being taken to help stop the spread of the virus. I sincerely appreciate that the businesses I choose to support are acting in the best interest of the public’s safety. These notifications inspired me to share with you what it’s like for Silly Buddy during these tough times.

As many of you know Silly Buddy is a one woman operation. I work from my home studio in Chicago where I make, pack and ship everything myself. I have been fortunate to work from home for over 10 years and this would not be possible without you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. To keep a safe work environment, where we used to venture out, my partner (who also works from home) and I are using delivery and pickup to do our part in flattening the curve while still trying to support our local businesses here in Chicago. We are also using social distancing methods like keeping 6’ away from others on the rare occasions we do need to venture out for anything absolutely essential. For shipping your pups orders I am using mail pickup services offered by carriers to eliminate my trips to the post office completely. Orders get picked up from my front door and get delivered to the post office by the carrier.

Thank you so very much for your continued support of my little shop. If you have any questions or comments don’t hesitate to send me an email at [email protected]. The world can be a scary place right now and anxiety levels are high for many. As a fellow dog lover you know that our pups are a huge help and make our lives so much better. Snuggle your pups and be safe out there! ❤️🐶

Love,
Hande
