Another custom order finished-finished! 🪡🌿

Two sets of reusable unpaper towels, with coordinating fabrics that are almost too pretty for cleaning up messes. Almost. 😂

Made with **100% cotton flannel on one side and soft, absorbent cotton terry on the other.**

These little workhorses are perfect for:

🌿 Everyday spills and kitchen messes
🌿 Wiping countertops and tables
🌿 Drying freshly washed produce
🌿 Dusting furniture and shelves
🌿 Cleaning up after pets
🌿 Wiping little hands and faces
🌿 Napkins at mealtime
🌿 General household cleaning
... and so much more!

Just toss them in the wash and use them again and again. No more reaching for a paper towel every five minutes!

**Use. Wash. Repeat.**

And now we have Maisie!!! She's just the cutest in her coral and black collar. I'm in love with her wispy, lacey ears!

🚨 NEW COLLAR ALERT! 🚨

The newest Imara Jo collars are officially finished-finished. 😂

Meet Elcie, Farley, Kaia & Maisie: four completely different fabric combinations, all built with the same sturdy construction and that little Imara Jo twist: bold print + coordinating solid + that angled detail that makes these collars unmistakably mine.

And because apparently I cannot leave well enough alone… you can personalize your fur kids' collars by adding their name to the solid section.

Handmade. Substantial. A little unexpected. And designed for dogs who deserve better than the same mass-produced collar everybody else is wearing.

I am SO ridiculously happy with how these turned out. ❤️

Which one are you picking?

Okay. So apparently this is REALLY happening.

Imara Jo Designs is going to be a founding maker at Saltwater Collective!!!

My stuff in an actual store. Where people who are not my friends and therefore are under no social obligation to tell me I'm talented can walk in and BUY IT.

I am equal parts ridiculously excited, incredibly honored, and mildly freaking out.

Somewhere along the way, Imara Jo stopped feeling like “Anglea made some stuff” and started becoming this little world of its own.

I am so damn honored to be part of Saltwater Collective and I cannot wait for you to see what I've been working on.

Mid-November. Holy s**t. Here we go. ❤️

Now apparently I need to make inventory. 🤣

Go give Saltwater Collective a follow and come along for the ride. This is just getting started, and I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty darn special. ❤️

A custom collar for Big Handsome Hank! 🐾

This handsome guy is getting a 2" wide half-check martingale, handmade just for him.

So, what exactly is a half-check martingale?

Unlike a standard buckle collar, a martingale has a limited tightening action when your dog pulls or backs up. A half-check uses a short chain section for that movement, while the wide fabric portion sits comfortably around the neck. When properly fitted, it tightens only to a predetermined point, not continuously like a choke chain.

That makes it especially useful for dogs who can back out of a traditional collar, dogs with heads and necks that are similar in size, and bigger, stronger dogs whose humans want a little more security and control on walks.

And because practical doesn't have to mean boring… Hank's is 28 inches of glorious color. ❤️

Imara Jo collars are handmade to order, with different widths, styles and fabric combinations available for dogs of all sizes — including the big kids.

Made for Handsome Hank. Built for big-dog adventures.

We’re back. ❤️

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and life looks a little different around here these days. With the ongoing health issues Maze and Khamani have been dealing with, being home with them became a priority. So I made the move to working from home, and somewhere in that transition, I found myself ready to refocus on Imara Jo and what I want its next chapter to look like.

First up: new two-tone collars! Maze and Khamani are showing off the new style here, mixing a solid color with a print while keeping the same sturdy, layered construction our collars are known for.

And coming soon: Once Upon Twilight, our first seasonal chapter, in shades of plum, peach, coral, lavender, smoky blue and sage green. These two gorgeous florals will be paired with coordinating lavender and smoky blue fabrics throughout the collection.

We’re also expanding our sustainable home goods with reusable bowl covers, lunch bags, snack and sandwich bags, bread bags and more. Many will feature food-grade PUL: a soft, flexible, waterproof lining that creates a washable, reusable alternative to disposable plastic bags and wraps.

And for our fellow book lovers, we’re adding quilted book/Kindle/ereader sleeves with coordinating bookmarks, made to protect your current read while adding a little beauty to something you carry every day. Softly padded, thoughtfully sewn, and available in fabrics from each seasonal chapter, because good books deserve to travel well too. 📚

It feels really good to be creating again, this time with a much clearer vision of what Imara Jo is becoming.

Pets • Plants • Pages • Petals

Beautiful, useful things thoughtfully made for everyday living.

New chapter. New colors. Same heart. ❤️
