Hounds & Bound is a mobile bookstore on a mission to make book-loving feel like coming home. Owned by Shelby, the kindest, coziest soul, this dog-friendly book truck is more than just a place to browse your next read. It’s a rolling community hub that brings together readers, dreamers, and their four-legged companions for moments of connection, curiosity, and joy.
The branding is irresistibly charming and delightfully feminine, featuring a pastel-rich palette of red, purple, pink, and orange that feels playful yet warm. Custom-drawn visuals add to the heartfelt feel, including a sweet pup wearing a H&B bandana, a lovingly stacked pile of books, and a whimsical pennant flag waving with bookish pride. These soft, storybook-inspired illustrations lend a nostalgic magic to the brand, while still feeling fresh and inclusive.
With a focus on community, kindness, and of course, good books, Hounds & Bound is creating a space where everyone feels welcome (paws included).
