Lucie & Co

If your four-legged friend deserves a wardrobe that’s as kind to the planet as it is cute, you’ll love Lucie & Co. The brand is the brainchild of Tormina, an ecologist and conservation biologist who channels her passion for wildlife into eco-friendly bandanas, bow ties, Biothane leads, recycled-fabric cat toys and even 100 percent-cotton graphic tees for the humans who adore them.

The name honours Tormina’s rescue cat Lucie, while the “Co” tips its hat to the rest of her furry household—two dogs and a horse—who road-test every prototype. That personal touch runs through the entire range. Bandanas can double as calming aids for anxious pets: simply add a spritz of lavender or chamomile mist and they become a soothing accessory for vet visits, car rides or stormy nights. Cat enrichment is another priority, and Tormina’s favourite product—hand-stuffed cat toys—proves it. Left-over fabric scraps are shredded for filling, turning waste into playthings that keep whiskered companions happily occupied.

Building a small, values-driven label hasn’t been easy, and getting the word out remains Tormina’s biggest challenge. Yet she and her team show up to markets across Queensland, share behind-the-scenes glimpses on social media and stay the course because sustainability in pet gear matters.

Treat your pet to stylish accessories that tread lightly on the earth and support a maker who lives her eco ethos every day. Shop the collection now and #DiscoverTheHeartOfHandmade —one wagging tail (or twitching whisker) at a time.
