About Fiona Melrose

Fiona started Melrose & Mutt in 2009 when she found that the UK market offered a limited number of products for her own dogs. Very few managed to be beautiful, hard wearing and practical.

Born in South Africa, Fiona's knowledge of and passion for African design and tradition inspired her to start sourcing products for the European market. Fiona believes how we live our lives, how we do business and the products we buy should be a congruent reflection of our ideals.

Before Melrose & Mutt, Fiona worked as an academic, a currency analyst and in public affairs. She now lives in rural Suffolk with Maggie and Phoebe, her two much adored dogs, who constitute the “Mutts” element of the partnership.
