Extra Special came highly recommended to us to help redesign our popular but problematic insulated dog jacket. Their ability to combine technical elements, design aesthetics, fabric and production specifications into a seamless package brought our project together beautifully.

Their skill and patience in dealing with suppliers and managing the project's moving parts have been invaluable.

Head of Design Geoff has become a key part of our team and we can’t imagine where we would be without the joy he brings to the design process”
