Practical pieces, cheerful fabrics, made one at a time.

Welcome to Bramble Sprig. I'm Ruth, and I make each piece myself — choosing the fabric, cutting, sewing and finishing every garment in small batches.

Dachshund coats

Standard dog coats often don't suit a dachshund's long body and distinctive shape. The Bramble Sprig dog-coat range is being made with dachshunds in mind.

For now these are enquiry/custom-order items so we can get the measurements right.

Bramble Sprig rainy-day product collection

The Bramble Sprig story

Born from a very ordinary rainy-day problem.

The idea grew from real family life: one of those days that starts bright and suddenly turns into a downpour, leaving a little one soaked when there is nothing quick and practical to pull over their clothes.

That simple problem became the starting point for handmade ponchos — and then grew into colourful small-batch clothing, personalisation, dachshund coats and matching pieces.

01

Made by hand

I cut, sew and finish the garments myself rather than buying finished stock.

02

Small batches

Many prints are bought in limited quantities, so a fabric may not return once it has gone.

03

Personal touches

Optional embroidered names are available on selected pieces.

Sizing

Choose primarily by height

The ponchos are designed with generous coverage. These are approximate pattern centre-back lengths rather than individual finished-garment measurements.
