About Ruff Remakes – Handmade, Upcycled & One-of-a-Kind

Hi, I'm Christy! And these are my three -

Holly - Chonzer 

Herbert - Schweenie

Bartie - technically a Doxychon but only a 1/4 bichon

I felt really guilty buying new things for the dogs, knowing the amount of textiles that end up in landfill every day. 'Eco' doggy items didn't cut it either as they just add to more emissions and more materials being created.

I believe sustainability shouldn’t stop at your wardrobe—it should extend to your dog’s too! Every product I make is handcrafted from upcycled fabrics, giving pre-loved materials a second life as unique, practical accessories for eco-conscious dog owners.

Why I Started Ruff Remakes

I’m a dog lover, sewing enthusiast, and sustainability advocate who got tired of seeing mass-produced, wasteful pet products. I wanted to create something different—high-quality, functional accessories that don’t cost the earth (literally).

Each item is thoughtfully designed, using repurposed fabrics to ensure that nothing goes to waste. Whether it’s a bandana made from a vintage shirt or a treat pouch crafted from old cargo trousers, every piece is one-of-a-kind—just like your dog!
