Free People's story is an interesting one. Here's what their website tells us:

'Back in the 1970's, a young man named Dick Hayne planted a seed in the maze of streets and trees that make up West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He opened a store and called it Free People. Free People nurtured the young people who lived there and shopped there, who looked for a little of their own freedom in the clothes they wore.

As Dick's store grew from one to two, the name was changed from Free People to Urban Outfitters.

In time, his wife Meg came on to tend Urban's private label division, which supported product exclusive to Urban Outfitters. Demand was almost immediate and to meet this overwhelming need, she and Dick decided to create a wholesale line. It was very well-received, so much so that Dick separated the businesses. For a while, the wholesale line took on many personalities: Bulldog, Ecote, Cooperative, Anthropologie, and then in 1984 a new life was breathed into the name Free People. And that's us.'

So Urban Outfitters, Anthropolgie and Free People are all under the same umbrella company. And you can tell. Free People's clothes are vibrant, versatile with a playful edge, as is its pet collection. Full with amazing collars and leads (the rainbow rope set is our favourite), statement dog beds, bright toys, doggy teepees and even grooming products (see the slideshow on the right), you'll want to buy your pooch the lot! 

And like all products from the three super brands, all of Free People's pet pieces are made with quality materials so stand the test of time, important when you've got sharp teeth biting and gnawing away at them. AND what's more, now you can coordinate with your pet - lots of the colours and designs used in the collection are picked out from the clothing. How cute is that?
