Stray Dog Designs

In the picturesque village of San Miguel de Allende, high in central Mexico's mountainous desert, the stray dogs make a life for themselves. Bill Pritchard and Jane Gray were newlyweds when they took a stray mutt under their wings after they fled to Mexico. With their rescue dog, La Princessa in tow, they were determined to bring her back to a healthy way of life. As she recovered, they were inspired to move full speed ahead with their pottery business. The pottery grew as their talent did. They began making designs and Jane would add color with paint. In 1995, they took their designs back to the states and exhibited them at the Atlanta Market. They found orders to be flying in!

Over a decade later, Stray Dog Designs' core design principles are simple: all items are handmade with careful construction from quality and recycled materials, melding quirky charm and true artistry, and providing fair wages for local workers.

It's true that some companies, like some dogs, are all bark and no backup, but not so with Stray Dog Designs. This hound proudly runs with an impressive pack whose designs have been featured in House Beautiful, Elle Decor, InStyle, and a host of other publications. Now, they are available at FYC!
