Our Story: Handmade Cotton Dog Collars Created by a Professional Groomer
Created because one little dog needed something softer than nylon.
Handcrafted for Dogs.
Inspired by One Little Dog.
Since 2000, Little Barks Boutique has been creating handcrafted cotton dog collars in South Carolina—designed by a professional groomer who believes comfort should never be an afterthought.
My Story
Created because one little dog needed something softer than nylon.
It All Started With Cinny
In 2000, everything changed because of one little dog.
My poodle, Cinny, couldn't comfortably wear traditional nylon collars. They were stiff, rough against her skin, and simply weren't made with comfort in mind.
As a professional pet groomer, I spent every day caring for dogs of every breed, size, and personality. I knew there had to be a better option.
So I sat down at my sewing machine and made one.
That single handmade collar became the beginning of Little Barks Boutique.
More than two decades later, every collar is still created with that same goal—to give dogs something soft, beautiful, durable, and comfortable enough for everyday adventures.
Most dog collars are designed by manufacturers.
Ours are designed by someone who has spent decades working hands-on with thousands of dogs.
Every day in the grooming salon taught me something new:
• Dogs need collars that feel soft against their skin.
• Hardware should be dependable.
• Fit matters.
• Quality matters.
• Comfort matters even more.
Every Little Barks Boutique collar is built around what dogs actually wear—not simply what looks good hanging on a store shelf.
Because dogs deserve products made with their comfort first.
Handmade in South Carolina
Little Barks Boutique has proudly handcrafted every collar in South Carolina since 2000.
Whenever possible, I source beautiful cotton fabrics from local South Carolina quilt shops and pair them with quality USA-made hardware to create collars that are as dependable as they are beautiful.
Every collar is sewn individually—not mass produced.
Every stitch is inspected.
Every order is made with care.
Supporting Little Barks Boutique also means supporting small American businesses, local quilt shops, and handmade in USA that has become increasingly rare.

Thank you for supporting handmade.

Most of all, thank you for letting Little Barks Boutique be a small part of your dog's story.
