Poppy + Ted: The UK’s No.1 Stylish Dog Essentials Brand.

Launched in 2018 (by Paige Welch) as a dining room table idea, Poppy + Ted is the UK’s no.1 stylish dog essentials brand, feat. bespoke collars for your pet(s).

It all started when Paige began to create collars for her dog. Then, she decided to turn her hobby into a side hustle.

Starting out with four fabrics, Paige set up a basic Shopify website, and within nine minutes, her first order came through from the USA. NOW, Paige’s side hustle has become a fully-fledged business. Well done, Paige.

In the early days, by day, petpreneur Paige was working full-time for Birchbox, but she took on an evening role, too: dog essentials designer.
