Our Story

Our journey began in 2022, when our CEO Panda was becoming more adventurous on our walks. His collars would get soggy, his lead would hold the rain, and before I knew it, everything began to smell musty. No matter what I did to ensure his lead and collar was clean and functional, the smell crept back again and again.

Enough was enough I thought, I decided to look into making my own bits and bobs for him. I found some paracord that looked rather nice, bought some hardware and made my first collar, this progressed to making some leads, lanyards and keyrings, and soon enough 'Panda & Pip' was born. A business dedicated to making high quality, but affordable, accessories for both canines and equines.

At first, we specialised in rope products only, but then BioThane changed the game. A waterproof, stink-proof AND fade-proof material that made for pristine, products. Our collection of products quickly expanded, long lines, standard leads, collars and more.

In 2025, I took the plunge to focus my skills onto a more luxury feeling product, with prestigious collections, inspired by the place I call home, and of course, the best dog a girl could ask for. A quick rebrand and a shimmy of ideas and stock, and 'The Baladi Boutique' took to the world.
