s READ MORELocated in the creative enclave of North Park, San Diego, Home+Hound is the brainchild of Brittney Garbani, a Texan-turned-Californian on a mission to set up an entirely offline shop that would combine her passions: design and dogs. “We are social and physical creatures,” Garbani says. “I pride myself on curating a space that blurs the lines between residential and retail. Connecting with customers and offering them personable service is something that cannot be replicated online. Being in a space that activates all of your senses is more enriching and fun, I think.”
Garbani uses her background in fashion, graphic and interior design to source beautiful items, for both humans and hounds, with a special attention to quality, lifespan and aesthetic. With every piece, she aims to support women-owned, locally made and handmade items as often as possible. Not only is Home+Hound bringing dog-lovers, owners and the curious public together, it’s fast becoming a fixture for the local pups. Garbani learns their names, shares their photographs on Instagram, and distributes treats. “It’s the highlight of my day. I’ve been told many times by non-dog owners that the shop inspires them to consider having a dog in their lives.”
