Cardogan came into its own during 2019. Our mission is to provide your dog babies with comfy, stylish sweaters made from upcycled and repurposed materials. Our goal is to always remain circular and to reduce virgin fabric consumption.
With the business growing, we have also focused our customer needs to walking vests and accessories.
We hope to further our development in the upcoming year with rain jackets… please come back and see us again.

The OG Sweater
Deadstock fleece mixed with recycled upholstery and rib fabric. All seams have been topstitched for reinforcement, and the collar is lined with deadstock high pile sherpa fleece. It is luxury and comfort together.
Lily 2.0
We live in Seattle there is a lot of rain during the year and Lily’s sweater at the belly usually comes home pretty wet and muddy. So I lined the front of this sweater at the bottom with water proof material. This makes it enormously easier to let dry and use the next day, instead of having to wash and rewash just to get the mud off . We make sure that our efforts into creating the garment, also continues into the care of the garment, creating a continuous cycle.
A majority of the fabrics seen above have been released to me by previous employers. Working in the apparel industry does come with a few perks. Instead of having these fabrics go to the landfill, I store them for Cardogan.
Agnes AB
This is my big beautiful Agnes. She is the most sweetest animal. Unfortunately, Agnes is not much of sweater fan. However she does have two for herself that have zippers in the back to allow for ease into the garment :)
The Marl
This is Marley. She specializes in many things. She also likes to climb on boulders, and sleep under your bed. She’s is probably Cardogans biggest fan.
El Taco
This is Tortilla, one of my oldest friends fur baby. She has beautiful eyes and is very shy at first, but she is a huge lover and will play fetch all day long. She doesn’t know it yet, but she should be getting a fur baby brother soon.
We also make clothing and accessories for the human.
These pieces were all made from scraps that were going to be thrown away after observation. Most of the fabrics used below are water proof rip stop fabric which makes cleaning off the sand and drool super easy.
Our job as humans is to be ready for every adventure possible
Bags to carry bags, and balls, and the treats and your keys!
Fabric is 100% waterproof, and recycled.
Nothing is going to the landfill.
Besides the poop.

Check out the Cardogan sweater too!
For our riding community- keep your gear safe and dry!
Two things humans will always need: bags and treats. We made a bag that will hold both so you can be hands free.
Assorted Travel Bags
We also give back.
When we find ourselves with uncut yardage of fabric, we make sure to help out our local shelters and make beds first. I also go ahead and stuff these beds with the excess fabric pieces I cant use for the sweaters. Everything we make at Cardogan runs through a continuous cycle and has different stages of life.
Lily has signed herself up to be quality control.
