Behind the Braids

Welcome to Zink & Dot

Discover the story behind our beautiful braided creations and learn what makes our brand special.

Our Story

Zink & Dot is named after my two rescue cats - Zink, my bold black cat with endless curiosity, and Dottie, my sun-soaking tortie with a flair for glamour. They remind me daily that pets deserve not only love, but thoughtful care. 

What We Do

Through years of working with pets on Rover, I wanted to develop something stylish for them to wear. Non-toxic textiles were important to me. So I began braiding collars with  cotton rope that was OEKO-TEX certified. This means that the fiber, dyes and coatings have been tested for over 1,000 harmful substances and found safe! All products are made from natural cotton macrame rope, chosen for its softness, breathability, and gentle feel in the hand. From those first knots, Zink & Dot grew into a vision of boho charm and modern design. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring you exceptional braided products that not only look beautiful but also tell a story of craftsmanship and dedication to quality.

Thank you for being part of our journey!
