How We Operate
We’re passionate about creating unique, sustainable pieces with a story behind every item. We source our materials in four ways:
1. Business returns
We upcycle returned or damaged materials that businesses cannot resell and transform them into functional gear for our pets
2. Donations
Got some retired gear laying around? We'll take it! And happily cover your shipping fees. Get in touch with us on our Contact Us page prior to delivery.
3. Customs
If you have garments you wish to transform or an idea where we source the material, we provide a commission service to turn your vision into reality
4. Thrifted
We sift through countless second hand stores to curate unique fabrics into one of a kind pieces

Materials for this piece came from a thrifted @columbia1938 kid’s fleece jacket. ♻️
I love how fun the pattern is! Combing the kids sections at thrift stores is where the 🔥 is at, especially for smaller dogs who don’t need as much fabric.
The goal is to always try to incorporate as much of the original garment into the new one 🧵 🪡
