Meet Mutts & Hounds: Timeless Style for Your Four-Legged Friends
We are pleased to introduce Mutts & Hounds, the latest addition to our investment platform. This British company has been creating stylish and quintessentially English products for dogs and homes since 2011. From its humble beginnings, Mutts & Hounds has grown into a popular brand that is now stocked in over 200 stores and boutiques in 18 countries, including luxury retailers such as Harrods, John Lewis and Selfridges.
A Brand Rooted in British Tradition
Mutts & Hounds is known for its commitment to British style and sensibility, creating products that are both beautiful and practical for country living. Their signature collection features a range of original and unique printed linen, Yorkshire tweed and Italian leather, with products ranging from collars and leads to beds, carriers, toys, bowls and more. Despite the company's growth, much of the manufacturing still takes place in-house, allowing their small, passionate team to maintain a high standard of quality and introduce exciting new pieces each season.
Sustainable Luxury with Mutts & Hounds
Mutts & Hounds is not just about style, they are also deeply committed to reducing their environmental impact and becoming a planet-positive company. In partnership with SKOOT, an award-winning climate change platform, Mutts & Hounds plants a certified tree with every order, offsetting all the CO2 created in the shipping process. To date, they have planted over 6,500 mangrove trees in Tudor Creek, Mombassa, Kenya, sequestering 34 tons of CO2 as part of their journey to net zero. Customers can even track their impact in the brand's Virtual Impact Forest.
