My name is Leslie Clarke, owner of The Fall Company. The Fall Company is the autumn lifestyle brand I’m building from Brighton, alongside my husband and a full-time job that has nothing to do with coffee or dogs.
This started with Artie.
A few years ago, Artie survived something that should have ended very differently. He’s not a rescue dog, but watching him come back from what happened changed how I think about second chances, slow mornings, and paying attention to the good days rather than rushing through them. The Fall Company exists because of that.
What I’m building
The Fall Company is built around two simple ideas: autumn is worth slowing down for, and good things should do good while they’re at it.
Everyday is the part of TFC you’ll live with day to day. Golden Hour Blend, a coffee shipped to your door. Artie’s Paw Balm, handmade in small batches. More to come.
Slow Season is the quieter, more considered side. Limited blends, gift sets, and pieces meant to mark the season rather than just move through it.
Ten percent of every sale goes to dog welfare charities. Not just rescue, the whole picture: vet bills for dogs recovering from injury, foster care while they heal, and the prevention work that stops attacks and neglect from happening in the first place. Welfare covers all of it, not just the moment a dog gets picked up. Each year, I’ll publish exactly where that money went: which charities, how much, and what it helped fund.
That’s the whole project, really. Autumn, coffee, a dog who taught me to slow down, and a small, honest way of doing good while doing it.
