Castle Acre Molly and Marley online dog clothing company inspired by owner’s dog

An online company selling clothing and accessories for dogs has been set up by a business entrepreneur after being inspired by her own pet.

Molly and Marley sells everything a four-legged friend may need including collars, harnesses and toys.

The business was set up in April by Fanny Danskanen, who lives in Castle Acre and was inspired by her dog Marley.

She said: “The business has been online for almost two months and there is a lot of hard work behind it.

“I designed the products myself and as I have my own sensitive dog Marley, I am particular about products and that they are made from soft material.

“Marley is the inspiration behind it who we got last September.

“He is a mixed breed and a sensitive soul so I wanted to start creating soft and nice products for him.

“The business is purely online to keep the costs down, to sell quality products that are affordable to everyone.

“A lot of products in the bigger stores are the same and nothing stands out but they have good prices.

“So I am very competitive with pricing.

“My products are a little bit cheaper, affordable but keeping the quality. “

Miss Danskanen is from Finland and has lived in Castle Acre for about a year and a half and in Norfolk for a while.

With a background in marketing and ecommerce she has hopes to broaden the business.

She said: “The aim is to get into the Nordic market and expand into Europe.

“I love Norfolk and you can take a dog virtually anywhere here.”
