You did WHAT?! 👀😂👇

Well, I do like a challenge… 🤓

And before anyone asks… YES, of course I washed them first! 🙄🧼

Who knew a pair of second-hand trousers had such a stylish future ahead of them?

And let’s face it, I can’t be the only dog mum who loves classic British country style and thinks our dogs should look the part too. Matching outfits is perfectly normal behaviour, right? 🤭

Anyway… meet Archibald & Harriet. Because obviously our dogs need country jackets too! 🤎

Tonight’s OOTD: black tie 🖤✨

This evening Dory is heading to the Burns Bravery Awards as a finalist for Companion of the Year 🏆

The award celebrates dogs who make a real difference simply by being beside us when we need them most. Dory does exactly that 🥹

Her mama Nemo & Dory 🧡💙 contacted me asking if I could make her stand out and feel as amazing as she is, so we went full-on Gatsby mode!

🪡 I made her a bespoke corset-style dog bandana using a dress I upcycled, with vintage black velvet lace detailing and a scalloped edge to match the sequin pattern.

What a privilege it is to make something for Dory’s big night and be part of these special memories.

Good luck, Dory! I’ll be cheering you on from home✨💚

I bought these trousers for a dog… 👀

Not to make dog trousers, obviously 🤭😂

AI can generate a beautiful design. But turning a forgotten pair of trousers into something made especially for your dog? That takes a different kind of imagination 🤎

If you’re a dog mum who loves country style, vintage finds and clothes with a story, come and see my latest designs. I think you’ll feel right at home here

Sorry, but my dog has the final say 🤭😂

You might be lovely, charming, funny and have absolutely impeccable manners… but if my dog starts barking the moment you walk in, I’m afraid your application for friendship has been declined 🤷‍♀️🐕

No appeals. No second interviews. Decision final ✋

Has your dog ever taken an instant dislike to someone… and you secretly agreed? 👀🤭💚

Your dog’s country pup era starts here… 🤎🍂

Meet Archibald & Harriet, our charming country gentleman and little lady 🧥

Classic enough for woodland walks, cool enough for the city. From muddy-boot mornings to coffee dates, because your dog’s wardrobe deserves pieces every bit as special as your own ☕️

A little old-world charm, a modern twist and a whole new way of wearing classic dogtooth.

Think effortlessly polished style, with a personality all of its own. The kind you’ll love bringing out year after year 🤎

Inspired by British heritage layered tailoring and created from carefully chosen upcycled fabrics - each piece has a story of its own.

Individually handmade to measure, so the fit is every bit as considered as the style 🤎

Two designs. Made in limited numbers.

The Autumn Ramble - welcome to heritage dogwear with a modern edge 🤎💚

Finally… boy dog accessories that actually feel stylish 🦊✨

Because why should the girls get all the statement pieces while boy’s are left with plain bandanas and basic prints?

👉 You want your boy dog to stand out too.
👉 To look styled, not basic.
👉 To wear pieces no one else has 🤎

That’s exactly why I create pieces that feel more like boutique fashion than ordinary pet accessories.

For the dog mums who always wished there were better options for boys…

you’ve found your people ✨💚

💙 You know when you see something and immediately think… my dog NEEDS that! 🤭

That’s exactly what happened when Peggy Sue’s lovely mum spotted my cornflower blue crocheted sailor bow.

She fell in love with the colour and knew it would be the perfect little birthday treat for her gorgeous girl. And looking at these photos, I think she made a rather good choice! 😍

What makes this review even lovelier is that her mum had tried crocheting herself, so she really appreciated the work that goes into making something like this.

Every stitch is done by hand, and knowing that something I’ve made has become part of someone’s special celebrations means so much 🥹

And a 10/10 review? Well, I couldn’t ask for much more than that! 💚

Thank you so much to Peggy Sue’s mum Peggy Sue for such lovely words and for sharing these gorgeous photos.

Now tell me, are you the sort of dog mum who sees something and immediately starts imagining your dog wearing it too? 🤭👇💚
