In the details: How our Italian Greyhound clothing stands the test of time
At The Hound Edit, we design and make Italian Greyhound clothing with a deep respect for the breed’s elegance, sensitivity, and way of life. Every piece is thoughtfully tailored to balance comfort, freedom of movement, and longevity. Clothing that feels as good as it looks, and quietly makes life a little easier when it comes to dressing your hound. Handmade in the UK using carefully sourced materials, our garments are designed to last for many seasons, whether your Italian Greyhound is braving a drizzly walk or curled up at home.
Quality you can feel and see
We take a considered approach to materials, sourcing fabrics that are soft against sensitive skin, durable enough for everyday wear, and suited to the unique needs of Italian Greyhounds.
From natural fibres to technical outerwear fabrics, every material we use is researched, tested, and chosen with purpose. Comfort is paramount, particularly for a breed known for delicate skin and little body fat, which is why breathability, warmth without bulk, and gentle stretch are always prioritised.
Across our jumpers and coats, you’ll find subtle elements that make the garments easier to put on and take off, without compromising on fit. Thoughtful finishing details, such as our stretchy trims and clean, tailored edges, also give definition to each piece.
Italian Greyhounds are made to move, and we believe their clothing should only support this.
When designing outerwear, we focus on protection without restriction. Purposeful, breathable fabrics that help shield against wind and showers while allowing freedom through the body. Soft fleece linings add warmth and comfort, without weighing the garment down or causing overheating.
Fastenings are kept practical, durable, and subtle, chosen to make dressing quick and fuss-free while maintaining a clean, elegant finish.
Thoughtful details
Practical touches are woven into every design, from hidden hanging loops and carefully positioned fastenings, that make the everyday routine a little easier. All of our Italian Greyhound jumpers and coats are machine washable, because life with a dog should be enjoyed, not tip-toed around.
Handmade in the UK
Each piece is handmade in Devon, UK, by our lovely and talented seamstress and pattern cutter, Kim, who has been on our journey since the very start. We make our clothing in very small batches or, in some cases, to order to reduce our waste by only making what you need. We also donate our offcuts to a community not-for-profit that uses art as a foundation for inclusion.
Conscious finishing touches
Our brand labels are woven from recycled yarns at a solar-powered, family-run mill in Wales, and are safety-tested to meet recognised standards. Packaging is fully recyclable and thoughtfully chosen to minimise environmental impact, from our mailing bags to the cards inside.
We’re mindful of the impact our choices have - on our supply chain, our environment, and the people behind the materials we use. Wherever possible, we favour responsible sourcing, durability over disposability, and quality that stands the test of time.
The Hound Edit exists to create timeless, practical clothing for Italian Greyhounds - pieces that you reach for from your hound’s wardrobe time and again for many seasons.
When you choose a piece from our collection, you’re choosing considered design, careful craftsmanship, and clothing made with both your Italian Greyhound and the wider world in mind.
