Our Story

Small charm jewellery, hand assembled in York by Tasha and Mike. Thoughtful pieces for animal lovers, sentimental gift-givers and anyone who likes a tiny bit of everyday joy.

ABOUT LONGDOG & WHISKER

We’re Tasha and Mike, and this is our small charm jewellery shop.

We’re Tasha and Mike, the two people behind Longdog & Whisker. Tasha is a body piercer, animal lover and jewellery-maker in her spare time; Mike works in marketing and builds the tools that help us run the shop.

We’re not a big brand pretending to be handmade by a room full of people. We’re a small, practical business trying to do things properly: choosing charms we actually like, hand assembling pieces carefully, packing orders nicely and getting them out quickly.

The bit we care about: every order should feel like someone has chosen, checked and packed it with care, because that is exactly what we are trying to do.

A few things you’ll notice in our shop

  • Playful pieces with personality

    We choose charms because they make us smile first: animals, plants, tiny oddities and little details with character.

How our pieces come together

  • Chosen because they have character

    Most pieces start with a charm, trinket or tiny detail that makes us smile. If it feels like Longdog & Whisker, it goes on the maybe pile.

  • Made into something wearable

    We turn finished charms into earrings, necklaces, keyrings and bag charms with hooks, chains and fittings that suit the piece.

  • Checked, packed and gift-ready

    We care about how each piece hangs, feels, arrives and whether opening the parcel feels like a little treat.

HONEST ABOUT AI

Yes, we use AI. We’d rather be honest about it.

Yes, we use AI. It helps us keep the website organised, write clearer product information and create useful product photos from real images of the actual items.

It gives a tiny business like ours a fighting chance online without replacing the details customers actually notice: thoughtful products, quick dispatch, cute packaging, real customer care and selected charity pieces that give something back.

AI helps with the admin-heavy bits. It does not choose the products for us, pack your order, talk to customers, or decide which causes matter to us.

WHAT MATTERS TO US

Small details are the point.

Jewellery that feels fun to wear, parcels that feel lovely to open, and selected pieces that donate 15% of profit to dog, cat and Pride charities.

If something is not quite right, we’ll always do our best to fix it. Not every piece gives back, but the ones that do say so clearly.
