About Us

Fur-You is all about creating garments that celebrate the bond between pets and their humans. Clara here is looking fabulous in one of our hand-printed designs—because dogs deserve to wear art too.

At Fur-You, we believe clothing is more than just fabric—it’s a form of self-expression, a wearable piece of art. Whether it’s the colours we dye our hair or the prints we design for our garments, creativity runs through everything we do.

Fur-You started as a play on words—For You, but with a twist, because it’s for both you and your furry best mate. Whether you see yourself as their devoted companion or proud pet parent, there’s no denying that spoiling them is as much a joy for us as it is for them. Seeing their tail wag, their excitement when they wear something special—it’s the little moments that matter.

Our love for dogs runs deep. Long before Fur-You, our founder was best known for teaching tricks to the working kelpies on her grandparents’ property—despite them being bred purely for herding. To her delight (and to her grandfather’s dismay), they soon mastered jumping the cattle grate and following the kids beyond the farm. That passion for dogs never left, and today, it fuels every design, every stitch, every print we create.

My love for dogs started early—teaching my grandparents’ working Kelpies ‘forbidden’ tricks was my first foray into dog training (sorry, Grandad!). Fur-You is an extension of this lifelong love for our four-legged companions.

Screen printing is at the heart of Fur-You, and it’s all done in-house. From the first sketch to setting up the screens, to manually printing each piece before it’s cut and sewn—there’s nothing like the thrill of seeing an idea come to life. We don’t just design our prints; we handcraft them, making each piece feel like a work of art.

Beyond the aesthetics, we are committed to making conscious choices. Every Fur-You garment is not just designed in Australia, but made here too. We source materials that are as friendly to the earth as they are comfortable for your dog because we believe that style and sustainability can—and should—go hand in hand.

From my first screen print in the textile studio to hand-printing every Fur-You design today, the thrill of transforming art into wearable pieces has never faded. Each garment is personally screen-printed in our studio, making every piece a labour of love.

Fur-You is more than a petwear label. It’s a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and the deep bond we share with our dogs. We’re here to bring something different—something artistic, thoughtful, and made with love for you and your furry best mate.
