about us

 

Hi! I'm Gailin and my polar bear here is Chili. I adopted Chili in Febuary 2020 and my world has revolved around him since. Not kidding... About a month after that I made a dog Instagram for him. Not knowing anything about the dog community I jumped right in. His account very quickly evolved and now he's my (not so) little, famous, comedic, fluffy golden that has a very bold personality. 

While discovering dog Instagram, I became a huge fan of buying Chili all kinds of bandanas. Each one intended to highlight his goofy personality. One day, I wanted a super specific print on a bandana and couldn't find it anywhere. A lightbulb went off that I could make it for him myself, I just needed to buy some fabric and oh ... learn how to sew. 

A few weeks later I had gotten many patterned fabrics to try and make the funkiest bandanas for him and his friends. Shortly after that, we opened Derpy Danas!

Now Derpy Danas is my full time job and I couldn’t be more grateful. I design custom prints, usually golden themed, for the shop that our supporters have loved so much.

I am beyond thankful for the dog community, as I have met some of the best friends I've ever had through this. I strive to be a positive light through my business and platforms, talking about serious topics, fun topics and everything in between.

I am SO happy you're here.
