Pug Print Sweatshirt

Say hello to my new favourite item of clothing – this incredible Pug Print Sweatshirt from Otter & Goat. If it wasn’t obvious enough how much of a proud Pug Momma I am, this sweater shouts it loud and clear to everyone whilst still retaining a classic look. I’ve honestly not loved an item of clothing this much in a long while; although I am biased on it’s print, I love the high quality of the material and moreover, what Otter & Goat stand for…

You guys know that I’ve become more conscious of fast fashion and trying to take steps to be more sustainable in my lifestyle. So, whilst Otter & Goat’s initial email subject pricked up my ears by the inclusion of the word ‘pug’ (of course!), when I delved deeper into their website I realised just how great they really are. Not only are all their items organic and hand drawn and printed in Britain, they also work with UK charity Made With Hope, donating £1 for each garment sold on the site. Without going into too much detail, it’s a beautiful independant online clothing store that truly cares about what they sell – and even took the time to find a Pug Momma to suggest their Pug Jumper to!

The sweater itself is thick, with soft fleece lining and fits well. I can’t lie though, it’s main selling point is obviously the illustration – a beautiful sketch of a ‘wise’ pug. I’ve always said that my Sonny is the most clever little puppy I’ve ever met, and I stand by it; often pugs are just seen as silly little playmates (which of course Sonny is as well!) but he is so smart, intuitive and eager to learn new training tricks that I can’t help but feel this jumper personifies him pretty well. Plus, the jumper came perfectly wrapped in brown paper, string and with a postcard print of the illustration too… Which now hands proudly on my bedroom wall.
