The Paw Tribe is an ethical dog accessories brand.
We believe in making every moment count with our dogs, which is why we've designed {truly} one-of-a-kind goods that help you capture & cherish those fur-ever memories.
We want our head-turning goods to highlight your dog's unique personality because our furry companions deserve to put their best paw forward. And even better? -- They get to do so while economically supporting Kenyan "Mamas" and Ethiopian artisans.
OUR STORY
Our founders Lisa and Jonna, both moved to Ethiopia and Kenya, respectively, over 10 years ago to work for / on social impact projects and with organizations such as Charity Water, Africa Design Studio, and the Gates Foundation.
While living in East Africa, we discovered beautiful handcrafts and quality leather (that's being exported to Italy to make bags) that evoke exquisiteness, style, pride, and happiness. Having a hard time finding anything truly "special" in the U.S. for dogs, we knew designing handmade collars that pay homage to traditional craftsmanship, while creating sustainable economic opportunities for at-risk women was a win-win.
We believe that shopping consciously doesn't just extend to humans. Dogs can and should have the opportunity to make a difference too! Your dog can feel good about the impact they are making, while looking good. Make your dog feel well-loved and good about the purchases you're making for them.
After all, a well-loved dog = happy dog = healthy dog.
