Skylos Collective has launched a new luxury range of dog accessories made from sustainable material.
The range includes five different colours of dog leads, collars and poop bag holders all produced using apple leather – a bio-based material made from the waste of the apple juicing and compote industry in Italy combined with organic cotton and polyester. Products are manufactured in the UK.
Founder Ella Peters said: “This first collection pulls together my learnings from the ethical fashion industry and applies them to the pet world with products that combine innovative design with function and transparent sustainable practices.
“With sustainability at the forefront of many consumers’ minds, I wanted to create a product range for dogs that mirror the values of its owners. Committed to transparent working practices, our manufacturing is undertaken in Lancashire, and we are really excited to be working with retailers, who like us, believe our canine friends deserve the best.”
Tags on the products include a QR code where owners can find out more about the firm’s sustainability efforts and its commitment to donate 2% of earnings to the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa.
