From Hand to Paw.
Little Pine took root in Whistler, British Columbia, in 2015 by a team of animal lovers and outdoor enthusiasts who believed pet products could be better—for our companions and for the planet.
As pet lovers ourselves, we recognized a growing problem: many of the products available for our pets are made using the same fast-fashion mindset that has transformed much of the retail industry. Mass production, disposable materials, and unsustainable manufacturing create an environmental footprint that many pet lovers simply don't want to support.
We founded Little Pine to offer an alternative.
By repurposing materials from our local mountain community—such as retired climbing rope and Whistler ski instructor jackets—we give high-quality materials a second life, transforming them into durable, thoughtfully designed pet products. Each piece is handmade in-house or created through carefully selected artisan partnerships that share our commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and ethical production.
Every product we make is designed with intention: to reduce waste, celebrate local craftsmanship, and help pet owners make purchasing decisions that align with their values.
Our mission extends beyond creating beautiful pet products. We believe every purchase is an opportunity to support environmental stewardship, responsible manufacturing, and a more sustainable future for the pets we love and the places we explore together.
At Little Pine, we're proud to leave a lighter paw print—one handcrafted product at a time.
Environmental Commitment
Love the Earth. We strive to minimize our footprint by making conscientious choices when creating and packaging our products. We support initiatives in our community pertaining to animals, wellness and the environment. The product lifecycle is very important to us, and our designs are based on the "circular economy." Many of our products are made using re-purposed materials from our local mountain community, like climbing rope and ski instructor jackets. To reduce waste and consumption, we offer repairs and recycling of our products, materials and hardware whenever possible.
Social Fairness
Little Pine was designed upon a social enterprise model. Our products are handcrafted and ethically made in Canada in a socially responsible way. As part of our commitment to having a positive social impact, we create fair and supportive partnerships with artisans. Our manufacturing partnerships are designed to benefit artisans as well as socially disadvantaged individuals, such as those facing language barriers, lack of transportation, lack of childcare, disability, and other challenges. Our manufacturing partnerships have included with immigrants, individuals facing disability, elderly people, refugees, incarcerated indigenous women (through a partnership called Women Helping Women) and many other talented artisans.
