Meet the Maker

Hello, book lover.

I'm so glad you're here! I'm Alyssa, the maker behind Bookish Cat Co., based just outside Winnipeg, MB.

I started Bookish Cat Co in 2022. I enjoy creating with my hands and being surrounded by beautifully designed, colourful fabric. Sewing with audiobooks is one of my favourite combinations.

Aside from reading, you can find me sipping on tea lattes, growing flowers and veggies, birding, and hanging out with my husband and two adorable, silly cats.

Handmade to Last

Every item is carefully handmade by me in my home studio.

Proudly Canadian

Made in Manitoba. Materials sourced from women-run Canadian small businesses.

Quality Materials

Artist-designed premium cotton fabrics with protective padding for everyday use.

Sustainably Minded

Made-to-order and shipped with recyclable, plastic-free packaging.

What's behind the name?

Put simply, it comes down to my love for cats and books. One of my cats is always within arm's reach of me, the other is generally up to more trouble like pulling books out of shelves and she's guilty of chewing a couple books (and that's why I always use a book sleeve on my night table)!

Thank you for supporting my shop and happy reading!
