It started with a pile of beautiful leather scraps.

When making leather bags, there are always pieces left behind - too beautiful to throw away, but too small to become another bag.

So we started turning them into dogs + cats.

What began as a simple way to give our leather offcuts a second life became one of our most-loved collections.

Moss Dogs are made from three pieces of leather, with a little movement in the tail that gives each pup extra personality.

Small keepsake. Big heart.

Which One Looks Like Yours?

Moss Dogs come in a playful mix of leather colors and textures - pebbled, smooth, even hair-on-hides. Some feel a little doodle-like, others bring Labs and retrievers to mind, and each one has a personality all its own.

Choose your favorite leather, find the one that feels like yours - or mix + match any three and get one on us. ♡

Small Dog. Big Heart

Moss Dogs are made to tag along - clipped to your keys, handbag, tote, or wherever you could use a little reminder of your favorite four-legged friend.

They also happen to make the sweetest little gifts. Tuck one into a college care package for someone missing the pup back home, add one to a kiddo’s backpack, thank your dog sitter who always comes through, or bring one along as a tiny housewarming surprise for your favorite dog person.

A bag charm. A backpack buddy. A thoughtful little gift with a whole lot of heart.
