Foldable beds, mats and blankets for hotel rooms and back seats.

Collapsible bowls, treat pouches and leash wraps for daily walks and overnights.
The choices behind the object, from material to the last mile.

Alder & Ash makes travel pieces for animals and the people who share their days. The collection begins with waxed cotton canvas, vegetable-tanned leather and a removable wool-blend lining, cut and finished in small runs. Shapes are soft enough for a hotel room, structured enough for the back seat and plain enough to leave out at home.
