As a native New Yorker, owner and designer Kris Lynch was surrounded by high fashion designs from an early age through her mother, a 7th Avenue couture fashion designer. After graduating from the School of Visual Arts, Kris began a 16 year career within the toy industry with such companies as Pressman Toys, Toy Biz, and Mattel, interfacing with licensors and studios such as Marvel, Disney, Universal and Paramount.
Combining design experience and contacts for manufacturing in China, India, Pakistan and Thailand with love for pets and saw a need in the marketplace. RUFF doggie RUFF puppy was then created offering upscale dog collars, leashes & toys, Kris learned that the recipe for a product’s success was to offer strong value through unique designs at affordable prices.
