Don't You Dare Patch

A very fluffy white dog with a giant bow telling you Don’t You Dare! feels like a pretty effective warning.

Designed by Patch Ya Later in collaboration with Gentle Thrills, this round felt patch has the dog embroidered right in the middle, complete with a huge acid green and purple bow, tiny smiling face and a little silver collar picked out in metallic thread. The black background makes the white fluff look even fluffier, with bright red-orange stitching around the edge and the words Don’t You Dare! circling the whole thing.

There’s something very old-school about the round felt patch shape, but then you’ve got that slightly unhinged combination of colours and the wonderfully ridiculous dog in the middle. Exactly the sort of thing we’d stick onto the back of an otherwise perfectly sensible jacket.

It measures 3.75 inches across and has an iron-on backing, so it can go straight onto jackets, bags or whatever else you think needs it. The felt is heat sensitive, so make sure you put a damp towel between the patch and your iron when attaching it.
