Sustainability in dogwear is shifting again — and it’s not about buzzwords anymore. It’s about craftsmanship, texture, and making things that last.
In this episode, I talk about what 2026 really looks like for makers. From waxed canvas and natural fibers to small-batch production and the rise of reclaimed materials — this is where slow-made design meets practical dogwear.
You’ll hear what I’ve learned testing my first waxed canvas project (spoiler: I used fabric that was way too light), and how that turned into a bigger plan for my 2026 Waxed Canvas Documentary Project.
Whether you’re sewing for your own dog or designing patterns to sell, this one’s about creating with purpose — not pressure.
Listen in and discover why slow-made is the new fast fashion.
