Designed specifically for the adorably unique shape of our pugs, this collection is made with breathable recycled polyesterākeeping them cool while looking effortlessly stylish in our Pugs n Stripes print, created with the help of our amazing Pugtastic followers!
Each outfit is designed with harness accessibility, so pug pawrents can dress their pups without the hassle of layering a harness over or under bulky clothing. That means secure, comfortable, and stylish walksāno compromises! š¶āØ
WHAT WAS THE INS'PAW'RATION FOR THE PUGS N STRIPES COLLECTION?
I created Pug Parties to make it easier for Pug Pawrents to find clothing and accessories that fit their pugs perfectly ā first time, every time. But even with my years of pug expertise and shopping experience, I struggled to find suppliers who truly understood the unique needs of our beloved squishy-faced friends.
So, I took matters into my own paws! š¾ I set out to design a dress and t-shirt that wouldnāt just fit pugs comfortably and practically, but would also be pugtastically stylish ā because letās be real, our puggies were born to stand out in a crowd! šš¶āØ
OUR DESIGN STORY
Creating a 'pug sized' pattern
Thereās no such thing as a dog clothing pattern specifically designed for brachycephalic breedsāso we had to create one from scratch! š¾āļø
That meant measuring hundreds of Pugs to determine the perfect sizing ratio, designing and refining the block pattern (the foundation for all our outfits), and hosting size testing days with our Pug Supermodels to make sure every fit was as close to pawfect as possible. š¶āØ
Because when it comes to pug fashion, only the best fit will do! ā¤ļøš¾
Finding the pawfect fabric
While developing and testing the pattern, we were also on the hunt for the pawfect fabric and print. šØš¾
We needed something light and breathable, sustainable, stretchy yet durable, and, of course, with a pugtastic color palette!
After countless searches, we found the perfect matchāa fabric that met all our needs and allowed us to create our very own custom print! š But we didnāt do it aloneā¦
Our amazing Pug community helped bring it to life by voting on the colors, the pugs, and even the stripe direction! š¶āØ And the best part? You also chose the name: The Pugs ānā Stripes Collection! ā¤ļøšš¾
Because when it comes to pug fashion, itās always by pugs, for pugs! š¶š
Finding Our Manufacturing True Love!
Creating the Pugs ānā Stripes Collection wasnāt just about the perfect design ā it was also about finding the right manufacturing partner who understood our passion for quality, comfort, and the pawfect pug fit.
After lots of searching, we found our manufacturing true love ā not only are they Australian based but they share our commitment to creating stylish, well-fitting, and durable outfits for our squishy-faced superstars! š¶āØ
Because when it comes to your Puggie, only the best will do! š
Say goodbye to itchy, scratchy labels!
Thereās nothing worse than a scratchy fabric label pulling at your fur and irritating your skin! šš¾
Thatās why we searched high and low to find the pawfect heat transfer labels for all our collectionsāno more itchy tags! šāØ
Plus, we placed the label at the bottom of the outfit on the back, so your Pawrent can check the size and care instructions without taking it off ā how smart is that?! š
P.S. Our sizing chart is based on chest measurements, so no more guessing what size you are! Just measure, match, and strut in style! š¶š
Reducing our 'Paw-print'
We only have one world to go on sniffaris with, so itās up to us to take care of it the best we can. šš¾ Every little Puggie step ā no matter how small ā makes a difference so we're trying our best to utilise sustainable products throughout our supply chain! šā»ļø
Recycling of old clothes
We wanted to give our customers a gift that keeps on givingābesides their Pugs ānā Stripes outfit, of course! šš¾
So, our first 100 customers will receive a FREE RCYCL bag to help them clear out their old apparel responsiblyāwithout adding to landfill! ā»ļøāØ
RCYCL is an Australian brand that helps reduce waste by recycling worn-out outfits into new products like re-spun yarn and felt. And the best part? The bag itself is compostable! š±š
Because looking pugtastic shouldnāt come at the cost of the planet! šš¶
Sustainable Packaging
We may not always have control over the shipper, but we do have control over our packaging! š¦āØ Thatās why we use HERO PACKAGING to send out your purchasesābecause sustainable shipping matters! šā»ļø
Compostable mailers, fondly known as HEROPACKs (shipping bags) or HEROBUBBLEs (padded shipping bags), are used to ship products to customers.
Unlike traditional shipping mailers, these are NOT made from single use plastic. The mailers are made from 30% plant-based materials such as PLA andĀ 70% from a certified compostable material called PBAT (a synthetic bonding agent).
Carbon-neutral Shipping
Where we can, we're shipping your order with SENDLE - an Australian-owned shipping company that also ships carbon neutral!!
When we can't ship with SENDLE, we're shipping with Australia Post.
