Love Liparu launched in March 2021, inspired by my dog, Liparu, whom I adopted during my Peace Corps service in Namibia from 2019-2020. Born on the anniversary of my mother’s death, Liparu, whose name means "life" in Rumanyo, brought immense joy into my life. When COVID-19 abruptly ended my service, I spent 110 days reuniting with her. Back in the US, sewing dog bandanas became my therapeutic outlet and evolved into Love Liparu. Love Liparu create aesthetic, functional pet items designed to support training. Each product is made with you and your pet in mind.
