Pawsome Paws Boutique, an independent business creating original dog accessories, has released an exclusive collection with high-end department store chain John Lewis & Partners.

The brands met at a Product Guru event earlier this year, and instantly saw the opportunity to create a collaboration that would appeal to both customer bases.

The ‘Teal Leopard’ collection has launched online as well as in physical stores up and down the country, and consists of adjustable harnesses, collars, bow ties, leads, poo bag holders and PPB’s Tough Trails harness design.

John Lewis stores stocking the collaboration include High Wycombe, Oxford Street, Kingston, Cardiff, Cheadle, Peter Jones, and PPB’s hometown of Leeds.

PPB owner Sophie Chesman, who founded the business in 2016, said: “This is a dream come true. Working with such a prestigious brand like John Lewis has really validated all the hard work my team and I have put into the business over the years. We couldn’t have done it without the amazing support from our customers either, it’s a fantastic community we’ve created through our social media.”

Sophie started the business from her bedroom and has grown it to a team of seven with a headquarters in Leeds.

Sophie’s husband Jason, who joined PPB full time at the start of 2022, said: “Working with John Lewis is a testament to all the hard work Sophie has put into the business over the years. From converting the spare bedroom into a workshop, the late nights and early mornings, sometimes through the night sewing away on the machine to get the orders out of the door. I’m a very proud husband.”
