Pet harnesses
Harness sourcing needs a construction and fit brief, not an appearance-only choice. Define the intended animal size, adjustment range and attachment layout, with functional testing and applicable pet-use requirements scoped separately.
Materials to discuss
Webbing, padded fabric, lining, buckle and ring specifications.
Range & customisation
Size range, adjustment points, chest-panel shape, colours and labels.
Sample review
Review strap connections, buckle operation and fit; agree strength and safety validation separately.
Pet collars
Pet collars
Collars can complement a pet-accessories range in leather, webbing or textile constructions. Specify neck-size ranges and fastening details clearly; a premium-looking photograph does not establish suitability or safe performance.
Materials to discuss
Leather or webbing construction, buckle and ring materials.
Range & customisation
Width, adjustment range, hole spacing, colour and identification options.
Sample review
Check edges, fastening, ring attachment and adjustment; scope pet-use strength testing separately.
Pet leads & leashes
Pet leads & leashes
Leads need a measurable length, comfortable handle and clearly specified attachment system. Supplier discussion should cover construction and intended use, with agreed strength checks and market requirements separate from visual sample review.
Materials to discuss
Webbing, leather or rope construction and clip specification.
Range & customisation
Length, width, handle design, colour, labels and packing.
Sample review
Review stitching, clip operation and handle joins; agree load and durability tests separately.
Bandanas & textile accessories
Bandanas & textile accessories
Pet bandanas and sewn accessories can complement an apparel collection with coordinated fabric and colour. Define how the item is secured and worn, with clear dimensions and care instructions for the intended animal.
Materials to discuss
Fabric composition, construction and any fittings.
Range & customisation
Shape, sizes, prints, embroidered details and packing.
Sample review
Check edge finish, fastening, loose trims and care labels; animal-use safety needs product-specific review.
Pet beds & bedding
Pet beds & bedding
Pet beds and bedding can extend a sewn-products range with a comfortable home-use direction. Define the intended animal size, filled dimensions, removable components and cleaning method before comparing supplier samples.
Materials to discuss
Outer fabric, lining, filling if included and reinforced components.
Range & customisation
Bed shape, finished dimensions, cushion fill, removable parts and labels.
Sample review
Review seams, filling consistency and removable parts; confirm care and animal-use suitability separately.
Removable pet-bed covers
Removable pet-bed covers
Replacement and removable covers offer a washable textile direction within a pet collection. Confirm the bed or insert dimensions first, then develop closure access, fabric choice and care instructions around the intended use.
Materials to discuss
Fabric composition, weight, lining and zip specification.
Range & customisation
Shape, insert dimensions, opening length, colour and replacement-cover packing.
Sample review
Check fit, zip access, seam finish and agreed wash or shrinkage results.
Pet carriers & carry bags
Pet carriers & carry bags
Soft carriers require a more detailed brief covering the intended animal size, support, access and ventilation. We can help coordinate supplier samples, while suitability, containment and any travel-policy requirements need separate confirmation.
Materials to discuss
Outer fabric, lining, mesh, padding, base and hardware.
Range & customisation
Dimensions, opening layout, handle or strap, ventilation and removable liner.
Sample review
Review construction and access; separately agree load, containment and intended-use validation.

Range & customisation
Measurements, drawcords, straps, zip access and storage format.
Sample review
