Playfield

Overview

Playfield is Ivana (Playfield Founder)’s modular dog-walking bag brand.

Current Profile

Playfield sells a bag combining waste-bag access, a retractable bottle pocket, leash attachment, and personal-item storage. It has early multi-channel traction across direct sales, Chewy, boutiques, and a planned national retailer, but remains operationally dependent on its solo founder. The immediate company problem is therefore continuity: transfer routine operations without losing the product, brand, and relationship judgment concentrated in Ivana.

Key Characteristics

• Launched in April 2024.
• Reportedly generated slightly more than $200,000 in its first full year.
• Sells through its own site, Chewy, independent boutiques, and a planned national retailer.
• Uses a modular product design for combined dog-walking and personal needs.
• Has outsourced fulfillment, social media, and ambassador-program management.
