Meet Violet - a teenage entrepreneur and a true dog lover.

At the age of 13, in 2016, Violet launched Georgie Paws, her own business dedicated to the design and creation of luxury dog accessories. It was on a long drive through outback Australia that Violet had the light-bulb moment to make dog collars that were not going to end up in landfill.

Violet's business took off, earning accolades and recognition from around the world. While her mum joined the company to help with operations, Violet remained the driving force behind Georgie Paws, with her creative flair and attention to detail.

Her obsession with buffalo leather, which was sustainable and crack-resistant, made her products popular with a wonderful back story. She even made sure that the packaging was eco-friendly and used scrap leather creatively.

When she's not busy running her business, Violet loves nothing more than hitting the beach with George and Flora in tow. With her unwavering dedication to sustainability and craftsmanship, Violet is an inspiration and a role model to anyone looking to lead by example (pardon the pun…)

Things that have shaped Georgie Paws   

Reducing landfill and caring for the Earth

Georgie Paws is all about making a tiny footprint on the earth by reducing waste and creating products that will compost.

The office uses solar energy and rain water.  Reusable packaging is made from scraps of leather or unbleached calico. Mailers use cornstarch.

Why Buffalo Leather?

There are so many reasons why Violet chose to use Buffalo Leather for Georgie Paws. 

. it resists cracking for water-loving dogs (Buffalo Leather has been used in shipbuilding for centuries.  It has the ability to both release and retain moisture.) 

. it isn't stretched in the tanning process, so it holds its shape really well;

. is naturally a more dense leather, making it strong and tear resistant

. is sustainable (Buffalo Leather is a bi-product of the Buffalo Milk and Meat industry which is growing)

. religious neutral (Hindu's can use it)

. uses fewer chemicals (our Tannery uses Vegetable based dyes) 

.  will breakdown over 50 years (as opposed to other materials popular in dog products which will be in landfill for 1,000's of years).

Georgie Paws uses LWG accredited tanneries which means waste and water are dealt with in a responsible manner along with stringent tests and inspections.

Our craftspeople are accredited with an ISO9001 certificate, which means their quality is consistent, and operate in a fair manner.  We do not support modern slavery in any form and our supply channels are transparent and traceable.  If you'd like to know more, please get in touch.

Georgie Paws leather products are produced in Pakistan by an amazing group of artisans. We are proud to support them and love their quality and attention to detail.
