Opening a homewares store had been a dream for a while and we had a lightbulb moment one night when I was trawling through the internet for on-trend, quality beds and bowls for our Shih Tzu x Maltese boys, Gus & Finn, that also complimented our home's design. All I could find were overseas brands with horrendous or non-existent international shipping. We thought why not combine the two things I love most - interiors and dogs? So we said "f*** it, lets do it", and the rest is history!

Our mission is to get pet owners to start thinking about the items they buy for their pets in the same way they would buy something for themselves or their homes. We believe in harmony between function and design. Who ever said functional had to be ugly?

Smack Bang opened its doors in Wellington on the 2nd of October, 2017 and launched online in November the same year. 2 years later we packed up and moved just up the road to our new home on College Street.
