About Us

Vau Vau means “woof woof” in Hungarian.

The founders of YKRA created the brand after we couldn’t find a dog bed that matched our sense of design. So we made our own: simple lines, bold character, and materials that age well in real homes, and our lovable mascot.

All our products are made in the European Union, in one of Hungary’s poorest regions, where we help create meaningful jobs for local women.

Inspired by 60s-70s Eastern Bloc animation, our mascot blends our cultural heritage with a clean, contemporary aesthetic inspired by Japanese Kawaii culture.

Vau Vau is made for dog lovers with great taste, who appreciate thoughtful design and prefer objects that are modern, functional, and quietly distinctive.
