Information
Hair and Hound is a research-led luxury dog lifestyle brand that aims to bring humans and canines together. Inspired by historical Coast Salish weaving and associated aesthetic, the collection utilises the use of dog hair that has shredded through grooming, to offer a service for dog lovers. Their pets hair is hand spun and woven into a contemporary bed for the dog. The collection also features fashionable and practical products for dog owners.
I have a strong passion for designing interior product applications. I combine different skills from textiles, photography and printmaking, specialising in both weave and printing techniques such as woodblock and screen printing. My honours project has stemmed from a love of working alongside dogs.
