Our story
They're not just pets.
They're family.
A small studio in York, a lot of thread, and a soft spot for muddy paws.
How it began
It started with one scruffy terrier.
Stitch & Hound began at a kitchen table in York, with a sketch of a much-loved terrier and a borrowed embroidery machine. It was meant to be a one-off gift.
Then friends asked for one. Then friends of friends. People didn't want just any dog on a jumper — they wanted their dog. The wonky ear. The grey around the muzzle. The look they give you when you pick up the lead.
"Some relationships deserve more than a photograph."
What we stand for
A clothing brand first. A love letter to pets always.
01
Made in York
Every jumper is digitised, stitched and finished by our own team. We never outsource a single stitch.
02
Drawn by hand
No filters, no templates. Each portrait is mapped by a person who studies your pet's markings line by line.
03
Built to last
Heavyweight, brushed-back jumpers and colourfast thread that won't crack or fade like printing does.
04
Treated with care
Some portraits celebrate a new puppy; some remember a much-missed friend. We handle every one gently.
