KINTAILS
'I wanted to create more than just dog accessories; I wanted to curate a place where dog owners could come and find helpful tips on all aspects of owning a dog.'

As the name suggests, Kintails is dedicated to our four-legged family members. To founder Genesta Gunn, who knows her way to canine and human hearts well, dogs are both the driving force and a main source of inspiration. Kintails works with local artisans who share the brand’s values to responsibly produce small quantities of stylish leather goods, ceramic bowls, fleece jackets, and more. And just as any nearest and dearest would do, they offer up valuable advice in the journal, including places to go, things to do (or not do!), and personal tales from kindred spirits.
‘Producing our articles in Italy means endowing the object’s core with all the cultural heritage, taste, beauty and lifestyle that our country represents in the world.’
‘This is what we really want to portray with our designs: urban culture meets Nordic wilderness. Aesthetically pleasing, yet functional and everlasting products.’
’Our name expresses how a dog should feel when living with our products—something light and non-rational’.
’In order to provide the best quality products for our customers, we aim to create simple and high-quality lasting designs to suggest a classy and sophisticated edge’.
’We try to pay attention to all surroundings in everyday life, not only to animal-related products, because inspiration can come out of nowhere’.
‘It's really rewarding to see how pups are having a blast and enjoying themselves with our products, and how we got to contribute to those fun times.’
’I’ve developed this project out of love and compassion for all the noble and inspiring dogs and their caretakers.’
’We are very lucky to have built a loyal client base in a short period of time. It is so important to gain trust. After all, these are members of the family’.
’Each piece has been carefully crafted to provide a heavenly sleep for the dog, and to perfectly complement the interior of the owner’.
’Sir Dogwood came about because I was frustrated with the limited amount of sophisticated, well-designed and modern dog-wear available’.
’It felt very natural to combine fashion, dogs, travelling… To make our own little world and create a place to share it’.
