A Handy Guide To Our Handmade Dog Tote Bags | The Little Dog Laughed
Did you know here at The Little Dog Laughed we love to boast about our handmade dog tote bags and the sewing talents of one of our favourite team members, our Alison!
Alison runs our sewing department. A fellow artist, she was Anna’s neighbour and by a fortuitous sequence of events ended up working two days a week at The Little Dog Laughed. Originally trained in glass design, Alison found her sewing skills allowed her to combine motherhood with a creative career path and we are now the very lucky beneficiaries of that lifetime of knowledge. It’s her talent that turns Anna’s wishes into reality and why you have a plethora of Little Dog Laughed handmade dog tote bag choices. All of which are exclusive to our website.
If you are looking for a handmade Lurcher tote bag or Golden Retriever crossbody bag or maybe something with a cheeky terrier on it, our handmade section is definitely worth making yourself a brew and then settling down for a scroll!
It’s a brilliant place to start your search for original gifts for dog lovers.
We deliberately keep the quantity of each style low, usually no more than three of any one design. This is primarily to avoid batch sewing monotony but also to ensure that when you are searching for something extra special, our handmade dog bags tick that box.
All are beautifully made, lined and as we work with end of line 5m rolls, the choice of materials is always changing. So if you don’t find your dog lover gift answer one month, pop back after the following pay day! If you are a fabric geek you’ll understand why we never get bored at marvelling over the bags once they have been made up in a new fabric! The team’s current favourite bag style are the laptop bags, rustled up as fresh option for Crufts. Anna immediately snaffled a Lurcher Laptop Bag, for marketing and promotion purposes obviously. She has her own MacBook Air in it and is road testing it for durability. It’s holding up nicely and the front pocket is proving most useful. There is one other available if you are tempted!
Our handmade doggy Yoga Pilates Gym Bags sell quickly in January. Can’t imagine why! They are big and extra roomy to accommodate anything you might want to take to the gym. Yoga brick, water bottle, gym trainers, towel and the sleeve front pocket is brilliant for holding your mat. Our gym adverse customers also tell us it works equally well when out shopping, they use the sleeve for their umbrella and overcoat. We love it when a product gets adapted for a different use.
The most popular Little Dog Laughed handmade bag has to be our cute dog Mini Tote Cross Body Bag It’s practical but also sweet. The toggle button is a lovely finishing touch and the lined inside also includes a key finders clasp.
All of Anna’s original artwork is digitally printed locally onto a soft cotton twill. The reproduction of the design works well with this fabric type. All the handmade items are washable. We advise low temperatures to keep the colours strong and then reshape while damp.
And that dear dog folk is our handy handmade gift for dog lovers guide to all the lovely bag styles exclusively available from little ole us! We’ll leave you with this inspirational quote that feels apt.
‘Bags are like chips. It would be impossibly rude to only have one!’
