Happy Birthday to us!

The first photoshoot for the Perch Range

---

Yes, Happy Birthday to us we are 6 years old this month.  
It's been quite a ride, I've met some brilliant people along the way who have helped me on my path and I will ever be indebted to them for their help.
Thank you to my brilliant customers who have bought from the range it means sooo much and I wouldn't still be in business without you.
Thank you also to the shops across the UK which stock the Perch Range, reaching customers in places I can't be.
In 6 years I have handmade thousands of products that have made their way around the world.  From the Highlands to New Zealand via the UAE.  It keeps me busy.
I am very proud to have had the Perch range in a variety of publications: Country Walking, Walk, Trail and Indie (The Independent Newspaper online guide). 
Been voted the Best Budget Dog Bed 2024 in the Indi.  Featured as the only sit mat the Trail magazines Good Gear Guide 2023.  
One of the first achievements was being Shortlisted for Gift of the Year 2019.
Not bad for a beginner.

I started this business because I couldn't find anything on the market like it.  Since designing and producing those first prototypes there have been many more on the market.  Etsy in particular is a hot bed for blatant inferior copy cats, even copying the name, unbelievable!   Once a product is out there if its good they will copy, you've just got to take it as a complement. 
That's one of the lessons, along with a thousand other I have learnt along the way.
I love coming up with ideas for products and solving sewing puzzles. There are a few ideas in the pipeline and who knows there may be additional products to add to the family soon.
The Perch range has changed a lot over the past 6 years but one thing stays the same.  They were made to protect from damp, dirt and dust when sitting on a damp rock or beach and they still do.
So here's to the next 6 years and protecting more bottoms across the globe.

CHEERS!
