and the little dog laughed

and the little dog laughed was launched in 2008 by Australian designer, Kylie Platt. 

Kylie has a passion for fabrics and design, and particularly loves to combine textures and mediums; knits and fabrics, stretch and floral cottons, adding different layers to a piece that would otherwise be one dimensional.

Kylie draws a lot of inspiration from her own childhood, and particularly likes to create timeless pieces that evoke a sense of nostalgia. The inspiration for the labels' name comes from one of her favourite nursery rhymes, Hey Diddle Diddle.

Each piece is designed to not only evoke a sense of nostalgia but are designed to be loved and cherished through to the next generation.
