It all started when my mum wrote and illustrated a book for her grandchildren and then used the MoleHole name for the clothing and sewing projects she made. Today, MoleHole continues to embody that same spirit of love and creativity, offering unique and handmade pet accessories. Unfortunately my mum passed away a few years ago and it is in her memory that I have resurrected the MoleHole Brand. My
mum was an incredibly strong woman who taught me everything I know about sewing and art. As for myself, I have spent the last 30 years in the corporate field and as Mark Twain said - "The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog". I have devoted most of my life to dogs, as a child I volunteered at the SPCA and to date, support as much as possible, the rescue organisations. My dogs are part of my family and typically go everywhere with me, whether that be on holiday or just a morning coffee at our favourite coffee shop. I started with MoleHole pet accessories because I was frustrated in not finding a creative, fun, quirky and above all functional collar and leash for my dogs. In South Africa, the choices are rather limited and what there is is mass produced or poor quality and not durable. Poppy my German Shorthaired Pointer, was my chief motivation in starting my own line of collars. GSP's are a hunting breed of dog and consequently, it is not in their genetics to be stuck to your side, walking calmly on a leash. She used to pull so hard on the leash her tongue would turn blue and her breathing was affected. A martingale collar helped enormously along with training but I genuinely believe the wider collar is also a factor in the success I have with her.
Being an animal lover, it is important to me that my product is made from sustainable materials and as much as possible, environmental impact is minimised. I've done a lot of experimenting with waterproofing and various types of fabric to ensure that not only are our products environmentally friendly but durable as well. Thereby reducing the throw away culture that comes with mass produced products. Our family-owned business is dedicated to providing bespoke, high-end items at an affordable price. Our dogs deserve only the best, and that's what I offer. The inventory of products is sure to meet your every need and will allow you to pamper your four-legged friend like never before.
