How it all began: I would take daily walks on the beach near my home with my dogs. Each day we would pick up as much trash as we could and throw it out on our way home. However, after a winter storm surge (blizzard Jonas, January 2016) we found large piles of rope, along with much more debris from the ocean, and decided to begin to upcycle the rope and driftwood.

I have been a dog walker (among other things) and in the pet care industry for a decade, in addition to owning dogs my entire life. I have a good idea of what is functional and practical with dog leashes and enjoy incorporating these styles into what I make. In addition to making what I already want to design I also love hearing from followers what they would like to see.

Raised in a nautical, dog loving and "green" centric family has made this new endeavor very exciting, and natural.

Due to only having what I find available there is a limited supply of each rope at any given time. Though I have over two dozen pre-made leashes available, I prefer to make leashes and slip collars custom as opposed to creating something that isn't exactly what people are looking to create for their dogs.

Each leash and collar come with a tag noting where (and some when) the rope used was found. The tag is tied on with scrap rope and string, also found washed ashore.
Each order also ships with a coupon code for a free sample of The Honest Kitchen food.

I am very excited to be putting multiple passions together to create these leashes and collars and would love feedback both from customers and dog enthusiasts in order to best provide what everyone is looking for.

All rope is found washed ashore, mostly on Boston area beaches, and goes through a 2 day cleaning process prior to any assembly or storage for pre- assembly. All clip hardware is new and marine grade.

I will be accepting back any purchased leashes and collars to be re-upcycled. Purchaser will be responsible for shipping cost but will get a discount on a new item for their trade. Contact me for more details.
