Once Upon A Kindness for Greyhounds

We are proud to collaborate with Greyhounds As Pets NZ in 2025, where we are continuing to help support retired greyhounds across New Zealand, following our $1,000 donation in 2024 to support their ongoing efforts.

Wish to Donate?

If you have a jacket or some beautiful fabric that you believe will be suitable for Once Upon A Kind’s Upcycled Bespoke Collection, please send a picture of the jacket to oliver.jones@onceuponakind.co.nz or contact me through the website. I will be in touch if it matches the needs of the collection.

Thank you

Sandy and her four glorious dogs Zoro, Leah, Freddy, Jesse and friends.

Everyone who has donated their beautiful jackets for upcycling.

Jo Giddens for introducing me to Sandy and getting me started.

Sue Hill for her magic sewing. Sue Spence for teaching me to sew. Dr Mark Stegmann for his one-of-a-kind surgical stitches.

To those individuals and stores who kindly discounted or donated fabric, particularly Tracy Johnson @ The Fine Cloth Company.

And finally, to you, our customers.
