ETHICAL FASHION FOR: DEEPLY CONNECTED HUMANS + ANIMALS
ETHICAL FASHION SUPPORTING ANIMALS & ARTISANS
ANIMAL People is
Each collection I design with the goal of supporting local artisans and animals in the city the collection is created in. Currently three collections are in the works from hand-carved jewelry to apparel for humans and pups, to stylish bestie carriers - all ethically produced & always 100% vegan using earth-conscious materials as much as possible including zero-waste, locally grown and salvaged. To minimize waste, each collection launches for a limited run preorder period.
Your presence here supports animals, artisans, farmers, weavers, and this little female founded indie brand!

This brand is inspired by the best person I've known, Audrey, who died last year. She wasn't my dog, she was the love of my life for 13 years, my best friend day in and day out.
Her ever present love and unique perspective motivated me to use my 15 years of ethical fashion design and production experience to create beautiful things for pups like her that create positive impact in this world, like she did everywhere she went, and apparel and accessories for humans like me whose favorite people are animals.
