My Cute Pooch is a brand of customisable bags made from 100% recyclable materials and free from animal products. They are created to focus on a woman’s individuality and versatility, to be adaptable for different personalities and different moments and to provide an alternative to the daily drag.
In addition to being fun and daring, the bags are also fully customisable, enabling each woman to choose her unique combinations while at the same time having a wide range of styles available simply by changing the accessories.
