Aussie Born, Loved Everywhere

At Petal & Pup, we believe that life is a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of joy, friendship, and shared experiences. We celebrate the power of community – the laughter shared with girlfriends, the unwavering support of family, and the uplifting spirit that arises when we as women come together.

Founded in Australia and deeply rooted in its laid-back, open-minded and optimistic culture, we embrace this vibrant spirit. With bold colors, playful prints, and effortless silhouettes that radiate femininity and confidence, our collections are designed to make you feel good, both inside and out, and encourage you to immerse yourself in our "no worries" attitude and live life to the fullest.

We want to help you celebrate every moment – the spontaneous picnics, those rooftop cocktails, your friend’s engagement party, or a cozy bonfire night. We encourage you to step outside, say ‘yes’ to that experience, and savor every precious moment, just like we do in Australia.

Celebrate It All with Petal & Pup

If you are a problem solver, self-starter, optimist who loves collaborating and figuring things out, then we would love to connect with you!
