Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At The Sausage Pit

At The Sausage Pit, we believe thoughtful design begins with respect — for people, craftsmanship, community, and the world around us.

From our studio in the Cotswolds, we create luxury dog bedding that is proudly made in the UK in small batches and made-to-order Collections. Combining timeless design with responsible craftsmanship. As a small, creative business, we value the individuality, perspectives, and experiences that shape both our team and our work. All whilst supporting other British Independent makers through networking & collaborations.

We are committed to building an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome, respected, and able to thrive.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

As a small independent business, we may not be a large corporation with formal programmes or policies, but we believe inclusion is reflected in everyday actions, relationships, and choices.

We are committed to:

  • Treating all customers, collaborators, suppliers, and community members with fairness and respect

  • Creating a welcoming and inclusive experience for everyone who interacts with our brand

  • Supporting British craftsmanship and partnering with other small UK businesses wherever possible

  • Encouraging creativity, individuality, and diverse perspectives within our work and collaborations

  • Maintaining ethical, considerate, and responsible business practices

Craftsmanship With Integrity

Every product is designed and made with care in the UK using a slower, more intentional approach to manufacturing. By producing in small batches and creating many items to order, we aim to reduce waste by sourcing waste end of Roll fabric from huge upholstery manufacturers & reusing this for our mystery sale products all while supporting skilled local production.

We value the people behind the process just as much as the products themselves.

Representation & Creativity

We believe luxury should feel welcoming, modern, and expressive. We strive to ensure our photography, storytelling through social media channels, partnerships, and brand presence reflect a broad and inclusive community of dog lovers and creatives.

Always Learning

As an independent business, we know inclusion is an ongoing process rather than a finished statement. We remain open to learning, improving, and listening as we continue to grow.
