Caroll Gessell

Master saddlemaker Caroll Gessell is internationally recognized for her extraordinary craftsmanship in hand-tooled leather. As the first woman to become a full member of the prestigious Traditional Cowboy Arts Association (TCAA)—an elite, invitation-only organization representing North America's finest saddlemakers, silversmiths, rawhide braiders, and bit and spur makers—her work reflects the highest standard of traditional craftsmanship.

Each PAWSH HOUSE piece is individually hand-carved, painted, and finished using time-honoured techniques that transform leather into functional works of art. Her collaboration with PAWSH HOUSE celebrates heritage craftsmanship, exceptional artistry, and the enduring beauty of heirloom-quality design.

Lora Childs

Many of the PAWSH HOUSE one-of-a-kind hand-tooled, painted, and braided leather collars and leashes are the result of a creative collaboration between Founder & Creative Director Dawn Chapnick and Canadian leather artisan Lora Childs.

Working from Dawn's original designs, Lora brings each piece to life using traditional leatherworking techniques refined over more than a decade of craftsmanship. Individually hand-cut, carved, painted, dyed, braided, and stitched, every heirloom-quality creation celebrates the extraordinary bond between dogs and the people who love them.

Deb Jasinski (Emerald Adams)

Deb Adams Jasinski, aka Emerald Adams, is the artist and metalsmith behind a Canadian small-batch jewellery studio. Classically trained, she crafts pieces that gracefully blur the boundary between wearable art and narrative.

Her work harmonizes whimsy with refinement, drawing on nostalgia, nature, and a touch of the surreal to create designs of quiet distinction, all grounded in a deep commitment to craftsmanship and exceptional quality.

Rather than following trends, Deb allows each piece to unfold organically, resulting in expressive collections rooted in traditional metalworking and guided by imagination, honouring the heritage of her craft.

At PAWSH HOUSE, we are honoured to collaborate with Deb, whose work embodies our shared belief that exceptional design begins with exceptional artisans.

Benedetta & Nancy

With more than fifty years of combined experience, Italian sisters Benedetta and Nancy have dedicated their careers to the art of fine sewing, upholstery, and couture textile craftsmanship.

Their remarkable understanding of fabrics, construction, and finishing transforms every PAWSH HOUSE lounger and textile piece into objects of exceptional comfort and beauty. Every stitch reflects generations of skill, patience, and pride in the handmade.

Kate Singer

Toronto jewellery designer Kate Singer, founder of Marmalade, is celebrated for her timeless aesthetic and meticulous craftsmanship. For more than two decades, she has created handcrafted jewellery that reflects artistry, quality, and enduring design.

For PAWSH HOUSE, Kate brings Founder & Creative Director Dawn Chapnick's vision to life through the PAWSH HOUSE Logo Charm—the signature mark of our collection. Expertly handcrafted in solid brass or sterling silver, each charm features the distinctive PH monogram on the front and the PAWSH HOUSE name delicately engraved on the reverse, serving as a subtle hallmark of authenticity.

Featured throughout our couture apparel, handcrafted collars, leashes, luxury loungers, and select accessories, the PAWSH HOUSE Logo Charm has become an unmistakable symbol of the House—where exceptional craftsmanship is found in every detail.

Resin Bowl Atelier

Each PAWSH HOUSE resin bowl is individually hand-poured over multiple days, with every translucent layer carefully cast, cured, sanded, and polished by skilled artisans. No two bowls are ever identical, making every piece truly one of a kind.

Created in limited editions, these sculptural bowls blur the line between functional design and collectible art. Their remarkable depth, movement, and luminous finish are achieved through patience, precision, and the expertise of the human hand.
