Our Story
Our Story
Inspired by Elvis
Hi, I’m Leanne, the founder and maker behind Catelyn Rose UK.
The story of Catelyn Rose UK begins with a very special rescue Westie called Elvis. When Elvis came into my life, he was extremely poorly, suffering from testicular cancer as well as infections affecting his eyes, ears and skin. Caring for him and seeing the love, resilience and personality he showed despite everything completely changed my life and sparked an even deeper love for dogs.
Elvis became the inspiration behind what began as a small hobby—creating meaningful pieces for fellow dog lovers. Over time, that hobby grew into the Catelyn Rose UK you see today: an independent clothing and lifestyle brand shaped by dogs, the people who love them and the wonderful communities they bring together.
From a Hobby to a Growing Brand
What started at home has grown into a busy small business offering clothing, accessories, personalised gifts and carefully selected pieces for both everyday life and adventures with your dog.
Many of our products are made or personalised by me, with care given to every design and order. From choosing garments and creating designs to pressing, packing and meeting customers at events, I remain closely involved throughout the process.
Although the business has grown, the values behind it remain the same: creating products that feel personal, are made to be enjoyed and celebrate the special place dogs hold in our lives.
Part of the Dog-Sports Community
Today, Catelyn Rose UK can regularly be found at flyball tournaments, agility shows, dog festivals and other events across the UK.
While dog sports weren’t where the business began, they have become a huge part of our journey. Attending events has allowed me to meet an incredible community of dog lovers, competitors, teams and families. Their support, ideas and enthusiasm continue to help shape the brand and the products we create.
We also work with clubs, teams and organisations on personalised clothing, merchandise and custom designs.
Made with Care
Every product is chosen with quality, comfort and practicality in mind. Rather than offering products simply for the sake of having a larger range, I want each piece to feel like it genuinely belongs within Catelyn Rose UK.
As many of our items are made or personalised to order, every purchase receives individual care and attention. This means your order may take a little longer than something taken straight from a warehouse shelf—but it is being prepared especially for you.
Thank You for Being Part of Our Story
Catelyn Rose UK may have grown far beyond the hobby it started as, but Elvis will always be at the heart of the brand. Without him, his story and the love he inspired, none of this would exist.
Whether you discovered us at a dog-sports event, through a friend, on social media or while searching for something special, thank you for being here. Every order, recommendation and kind word helps this independent business continue to grow—and I’m incredibly grateful to have you as part of the journey.
