The Beginning
Stocky & Dee was founded after the arrival of the olde english bulldog, Stella. Mairi, our founder, graduate from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in 2013 and combined her passion for textile design and her love for dogs to create our products.
we are
Dog lovers
These gorgeous animals are the main inspiration behind Stocky & Dee. They provide us with endless happiness and companionship and, in return, they deserve the very best from us. Every dog is unique and we strive to provide a product and service suited to each individual. There is no greater reward for us than to see our products enjoyed by your beloved dogs.
At Stocky & Dee we also see the growing need to support dog charities and we have created two charitable programs, Pup-Cycle and The Rainbow Collection to do our bit to help dogs in need.
We love
Textile Design
We create opportunity in a declining industry. After Mairi graduated with her degree in Textile design, she discovered just how few jobs were available in this industry, particularly jobs that allowed her to be creative and utilise the skills she’d developed. We allow our makers to unleash their creativity and develop new, stylish and individual pieces using this medium that provides endless possibilities. Our makers sign off on each product and have a tremendous sense of pride and connection to what they created for your dog.
