Our Story

You probably know very well how it feels to have a dog that is also your closest friend.  We are delighted when we see them relaxed and happy, but we also suffer together if something is wrong with them – especially if we do not know the cause.

This is how we felt when Eddie came to our lives as a shy shelter dog in Autumn 2020. Thankfully he quickly settled in and turned into a confident and playful rascal, but we were unable to find a dog bed, which would accommodate all his sleeping positions. As a consequence, he restlessly moved around the apartment throughout the night. Finally, we decided that we will solve this issue ourselves and create the ultimate dog bed so that he and all other doggies can have a comfy, healthy and restful night. Months of research, expert consultations, testing and inventing followed until we finalized our first prototype in April 2021. Thanks to an endless patience of our partners, we created eight more before we were able to say that we created a dog bed that we envisioned.

On July 26 2022, our life has been turned on its head. Our dearest friend Eddie unexpectedly left us forever. After the initial shock, we were convinced that we simply cannot continue working on Lebeddie. The whole idea was born only thanks to Eddie and we put all our efforts into it because of him. But then we realized something that still gives us a lump in our throats: it wasn’t us creating Lebeddie for Eddie. It was Eddie who created Lebeddie for us. He came into our lives to give us the courage to leave our jobs, change our heading and help us pursue our dreams. If we did not continue with Lebeddie, we would be throwing away what this special dog brought us.

Then we thought of what we have on our homepage since the first day: “An idea inspired by one dog. A brand created for all.” In every Lebeddie Dog Bed, there is a part of Eddie and his legacy. We are grateful that we can honor Eddie’s memory with every Dog Bed we make. We will continue doing it as we always have: with love and as good as we can.

We really appreciate you are on this journey with us.

Andy, Zuzka and Eddie

Our Journey

We officially launched Lebeddie in December 2021.

In February 2022, Lebeddie brand received a trademark protecting it in the whole of EU.

In July 2022, Lebeddie Snug Bed’s design became patent protected by the EU Intellectual Property Office, which recognized its uniqueness. It is probably our most important milestone, as it ensures the design of the Snug Bed will remain unique also in the future.

In August 2022, the Snug Bed design was recognized by the prestigious European Product Design Award from among hundreds of other top notch designs as the 2022 Honorable Mention.

Our Brand

We are a local sustainable brand with dog accessories based in Bratislava, Slovakia. Our dog beds, pillows and mats are sewn in a textile workshop located 30 kilometers from Bratislava and our collars and leashes are sewn in a workshop specializing in outdoor located 40 kilometers from Bratislava.  All our products are handmade.

Our Vision

We want our products to provide more than just their primary function. We want them to bring our customers joy and a visual experience from the moment of purchase through unboxing to long and – above all – satisfactory service.

To reach this goal, we have built the Lebeddie brand on values that are also our own.

Our Values

Human Approach. First and foremost, we want this journey to be a fullfilling experience. We want this ride to be less of a business endeavor and more about creating new friendships and hearing the stories of people and their four-legged friends from all around Europe.

In practice, this means we want to provide stellar customer service and try to solve every issue in a way that results in your positive experience. If you have any issue with any of our products, you can be sure we are here for you.

Locally and Hand Made Products with Superb Quality. We oversee our product during all stages from prototyping and development to production. This is the only way to ensure that all our products maintain excellent quality. We are very fortunate that Slovakia has a very strong tradition of textile industry and several Slovak textile houses sew for world class high fashion brands. This makes it much easier for us to proudly stand behind our products.

Having our products made locally also means that we can quickly react when we discover room for improvement.

Sustainable Approach. We love nature and that is why you often can find nature related themes on our products. It also means that we put the highest environmental standards on ourselves and our suppliers. This means not only that we mostly use recycled or organic materials, but also that we aim to source our materials from Europe whenever possible.

However, having a really sustainable approach means creating products that can have their lifetime extended. That is why we created the Lebeddie dog bed in a way that we can repair it and sell each part separately so that you do not have to buy a completely new product every time something happens to just a part of it.

Simplicity and Elegance. We like clean and simple design and we create our products with the aim of providing you with a visually pleasing emotion. We want Lebeddie products to complement your style and in your hands become an instrument to make your surroundings even more beautiful.
