In development
Sleeves for retractable leads.
The original Lead Sleeve covers a standard webbing leash. Next up: a printable, sublimation-ready cover engineered for the awkward shape of a retractable handle — the most-owned dog lead in the world, and the one nobody has made personalisable.
Stage
Prototype · pattern fitting
First fabric sample sewn alongside a paper template trial-fitted to a real retractable handle.
Goal
One sleeve, every brand of retractable
A universal-fit sleeve covering the most popular handle shapes — printable wraparound, no glue, slips on in seconds.
Why it matters
A new printable surface for the pet category
Retractable handles are blank plastic. We're turning that real estate into a brandable, personalisable, sublimation-ready canvas.
