The Story Behind the Waxed Canvas Collection
At Outback Tails, every product we create is inspired by the beauty of Australia and built to celebrate the special bond we share with our dogs. Our newest release – the Waxed Canvas Collection – has been a passion project of our founder, Jessica Knight, who wanted to add a timeless, heritage-inspired range to our growing collection of premium dog accessories.
Inspired by Personal Adventures
“I’ve always loved the waxed canvas accessories I have at home,” Jess explains. “They’ve travelled with me for years, picking up marks and a beautiful patina that tell their own story. I wanted to bring that same enduring quality and true Australian style to a collection for dogs and their humans.”
For Jess, the idea was simple: design a luxury dog accessory collection that could go the distance – whether you’re exploring red dust trails, strolling through the bush or heading into the city. Just like the much-loved waxed canvas bags and jackets we carry ourselves, these pieces are made to grow more beautiful with every adventure.
Rugged Yet Refined
Handcrafted from heavy-duty waxed canvas and finished with brass-plated hardware, the collection strikes the perfect balance between rugged durability and refined design. Available in three Outback-inspired colour ways – sky blue, eucalyptus green and dusty yellow – each accessory captures the wide skies, native bush and sun-warmed earth of Australia’s landscape.
The range includes collars, leads, harnesses, treat pouches, walking satchels and eco-friendly pick-up bag holders – everything an adventure-loving dog and their human need for daily walks or weekend escapes.
Designed for Everyday Life
A standout of the range is the Dog Walking Satchel and matching Treat Pouch, thoughtfully designed to keep you hands-free and comfortable on every outing. Whether you’re weaving through busy city streets or hiking long trails, every detail has been created with function, durability and style in mind.
Built to Last, Made to Care
Sustainability has been central to the design process. These accessories aren’t just beautiful – they’re built to last for years with proper care. To help extend their life, we’ve also created reproofing and cleaning solutions so your accessories can be restored and maintained rather than replaced. And for every walk, our compostable Pick Up Bags ensure your adventures tread lightly on the planet.
A Collection with a Story
The Waxed Canvas Collection is more than just dog gear – it’s about carrying a piece of Australia with you on every walk and investing in premium accessories that grow with you and your dog. For Jess, it’s about creating products that feel timeless, practical and deeply connected to the outdoors.
“Dogs are part of every adventure,” says Jess. “I wanted to create something that honours that – accessories that withstand the outdoors, tell their own story and look even better as the years go by.”
“Dogs are part of every adventure,” says Jess. “I wanted to create something that honours that – accessories that endure the outdoors, gather stories of their own and grow richer with time, each mark a reminder of the journeys shared and the memory of a life lived side by side."
