Launched on September 23, 2016 from our small San Francisco apartment, our handcrafted pet accessories combine our love of chic design with the comfortable and stylish fabrics and materials we love to wear ourselves. If we wouldn't wear it, why should our pets?WHY WE STARTEDWe started Oh Tiny Heart after adopting our little fur baby, Mylo. When we first brought Mylo home, we found ourselves unable to stop shopping for things we thought he'd like -- treats, toys, accessories -- you name it! When we couldn't seem to find accessories for him that we absolutely loved (we're picky!), we decided to make our own.HOW WE STARTEDDetermined to create accessories we weren't embarrassed to let Mylo wear, we rolled up our sleeves, purchased a sewing machine, a few bundles of thread, and began chopping up our old clothing. Sewing with discarded stretchy knits and delicate cottons forced us to master difficult fabrics right off the bat, setting the tone for the types of materials we'd end up working with most.When we finally created an accessory we were proud of, we posted a picture of Mylo modeling our creation on Instagram, and comments demanding we sell our pieces started pouring in from friends and followers. That's when we knew we had to open our own shop.Our background in branding, marketing, and creative design laid the foundation for what eventually became our very minimalist label and store name. Our brand took off almost immediately, and we have our customers to thank for it. With every step we take toward solidifying the Oh Tiny Heart aesthetic, we work with our buyers to create collections and packaging that everyone loves.While we are still very much a mom and pop pet shop handcrafting accessories from our much-too-tiny San Francisco apartment, we feel our family has grown so much larger thanks to our friends on Instagram and our supportive customers.
