Life on the Couch is Hard
Pug LifeⓇ and Ask Chewie have been around since 1999 when a group of friends decided to make t-shirts for Chewie's birthday. They were so popular, that Ask Chewie was born with its main line being Pug Life brand clothing. After years of printing by hand, Ask Chewie and Pug Life moved onto Cafepress, where the products were a hit. From the early days at farmer markets, expanding online and into stores was a great success.
Ask Chewie designs were featured on TV shows, on various actors, and all over the world. A Pug Life vinyl figure line was spawned and before long, hundreds of little pugs were gracing shelves everywhere. Five limited edition series have been released and another is in the planning stages.
Cafepress is still there, and it’s quality improved, but we were always looking to create beyond those borders.
Chewie, the namesake of Ask Chewie, crossed the rainbow bridge in 2014 and Le Mops became the face of the Pug Life brand. Le Mops passed unexpectedly in 2020 and the line took a hiatus as its creative force grieved. This year, we decided to honor his memory and start our Etsy shop. Our most popular design has been little Lola's Pug Butt. Lola joined her brother's across the rainbow bridge in May 2023.
Lenore, Lulu, and Left eye Patty Labelle are now the faces and butts of Pug Life.
