We've been making collars, leads, harnesses and accessories for dogs and cats for over a decade. Every piece is handmade in Britain — our collars and leads by Jayne in Staffordshire, our bow ties and bandanas by Clare in Margate and our toys, felted by women artisans in Nepal — from fabrics sourced from Bolivia, Ghana and Kenya to Amy's own designs printed onto organic cotton.
We don't talk about our reviews very often. But scrolling through them recently, a few stopped us in our tracks. Here's what our customers actually think.
"Bought a replacement for an identical collar bought about 10 years ago. Beautiful and hard-wearing." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Verified purchase
Ten years. That's the line that says everything about how we make things. Every collar is hand-stitched and leather-trimmed by Jayne, using the same techniques and the same commitment to quality that has been there since the beginning. These pieces are made to last because we make them that way on purpose.
"Amazing leads that last!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Verified purchase
"Really cute and love that it's adjustable so can fit a variety of dog sizes." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Verified purchase
Our collars, harnesses and leads are fully adjustable — made to grow with your dog, or to fit across a range of breeds and sizes without needing a separate product for each.
"This is a very handsome cat toy and my cat LOVES it" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Verified purchase
Our cat toys are handmade from pure wool felt in Nepal — no synthetic filling, no plastic parts, nothing a curious cat shouldn't be chewing. Kumo, our in-house rescue cat and unofficial quality control manager, approves of this one too.
"Cutest dog toy ever. Gave Clifford Crab as a gift for a puppy. The owners said it must be their favourite toy." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Verified purchase
Clifford Crab is one of our best-loved felt toys — handmade in Nepal from pure Nepalese wool, and apparently irresistible to puppies. Our felt toys also make brilliant gifts for new dog owners, since they arrive looking beautiful and hold up to serious play.
Why handmade matters
The thing our reviews tend to mention most — durability, quality, the fact that pieces last years rather than months — comes directly from how we make things.
Every Hiro + Wolf collar and lead is designed by our founder, Amy Fleuriot-Reade who trained at London College of Fashion and graduated with a 1st in BA Accessories Design. Hand-stitched by Jayne in Staffordshire, a second generation boutique pet manufacturer, she knows how to select the finest Italian vegetable-tanned leather or pick out the most durable hardware. The fabrics come from places we've visited and makers we know: Inca blankets woven in Bolivia, Shuka fabric from Kenya traditionally worn by the Maasai, African prints from markets in Ghana and Kenya, and Amy's illustrated designs — Nebula, Mud Cloth, Bow Wow Haus — printed on organic cotton in the UK.
These aren't mass-produced pieces. They're made by skilled people, from materials with stories, and they last. Which is, based on our reviews, exactly what our customers have found.
