| About our animal
themed merchandise
Simply put, we carry the best in
gifts and accessories for animal lovers - jewelry, bags, totes, and
more. Whether your passion is for birds, cats, dogs, horses, sea
life, small animals or wildlife, you are bound to find a treasure or
two in our store.
As part of our commitment to animal
welfare, we strive to offer merchandise that are vegan and cruelty free - no
leather, fur, or animal-derived products. We are very careful in our
selection of merchandise, but if you feel there is an item in our
store that violates this, please let us know.
We also choose the manufacturers we
work with very carefully. Some of these whose
products we carry include Espe, Far Fetched,
Laurel Burch, Sienna Sky, Wild Bryde, Yak Pak, and Zarah. Here is a
little bit about some of our designers.
Bungalow 360
bags and accessories are ideal for animal-loving fashionistas.
We carry several of their designs, including Sea Otters, Owls,
Seahorses, Penguins and Sea Turtles. The bags are super
well-constructed, and made of sturdy, natural, cotton canvas.
Bungalow 360 has been featured in a variety of magazines, including
one of our favorites, Body + Soul magazine (now called Whole Living
magazine).
Espe's bags and wallets may
look and feel like leather, but they are actually made of
polyurethane, which is a synthetic leather. Their merchandise is
trendy, well-made, and affordable. Look for our
bird lover bags and
wallets, cat lover wallets and
other fun Espe designs.
Far Fetched not only makes

Kirks Folly is a family-owned business that had its start in
1979. Their line celebrates fantasy, as well as the whimsy and
beauty seen in all creatures. This passion is evident in their

with the finest metals and many are embellished with fine crystals
and beads.

beauty, whimsy and spirit of cats, dogs, horses and other animals in
her designs. Her jewelry is vibrant, colorful and detailed.

sturdy canvas and are made using natural dyes. We carry Laurel's
cat bags and dog

company that specializes in a wide selection of animal themed
jewelry. Owned by designer Mike Warner, Wild Bryde's jewelry is made
in the U.S.A. Each piece is meticulously hammered by hand with

the earwires are either 14k goldfill or sterling.
Yak Pak bags are super
functional and feature fun animal designs, such as pandas,
hedgehogs, and birds. The fabric used to make the bags comes from a
fourth-generation, family-owned textile company.
Zarah creates beautiful
jewelry, including pins, earrings, and necklaces, in a wide variety
of animal themes. They use the designs of talented artists,
including the famed Paul Brent. Most of their jewelry that we carry

each piece using solutions containing colored granules of glass.

recently introduced vinyl cut and art glass pieces.
