As a Women’s wear Designer on a buying trip to Milan, Italy in 1998, the sight of a stylishly dressed Italian took my breathe away….it was a Dog not a Human! That Dog was wearing a well-fitting coat…nothing outrageous just looked fabulous and comfortable. This was my lightbulb moment!

Soon after I adopted my 1st puppy a Miniature Schnauzer Lili & couldn’t find her a Quality Dogcoat …so YAP WEAR was born.

I waived ‘adios’ to my 25yrs Fashion Designing/Marketing days for ‘humans’. I still design its just that my customer now has 4-legs instead of 2, but receive the best Quality & service my biz can bring you.

The Dogs Mimi and I meet everyday out walking and in our YAP WEAR Melbourne store are a constant source of inspiration for our own range and how it constantly evolves.

We believe in respect for Dogs and have a passion to bring you the best Quality Dogwear & accessories…made in Australia. Our Philosophy is keep it simple, stylish and well made.

All of our products have a purpose, are easy to put and comfortable.

Proudly we support a number of local independent Rescue Groups for Dogs & donate a percentage of our profits to them.
