Elise was just 19 years old when a friend offered to sell her Fair Dinkum Dog Coats. 

Originally selling to pet shops around Australia she quickly became the go to lady for custom made coats. Handmaking waterproof dog coats to fit any breed, shape or size. With many customers raving about the longevity of the product and their delight in having a custom made, handmade product, Fair Dinkum Dogs has a bright future ahead.

With both her girls in school now and a much better online presence due to a Digital Champions grant and training at Facebook headquarters, Elise is really looking forward to building Fair Dinkum Dog Coats into something that can support her local animal rescue group, provide employment and ensuring your best mates receive the comfort they deserve.
