Bark & Willow started from my garage in 2016, when I made my first braided leather leash simply because I couldnāt find the style I wanted. I listed it on Etsy just to see if anyone else might love it too, and over the next decade, that small beginning grew into something I never could have imagined.
What started with leather goods and bandanas evolved into custom pet portrait apparel, home decor, drinkware, and more. Pieces that quickly became the heart of Bark & Willow.
As I reflect on these past 10 years, Iām incredibly grateful for the pet parents around the world whoāve supported this journey. With that growth comes change: Iāll be discontinuing the leather portion of the shop and shifting my focus fully to custom pet portrait products, with expanded offerings and embroidery coming soon.
Thank you for supporting my small business and evolving with me. Iām so excited for whatās next! š¾š¤
