Our Story
Harry Barker started on a kitchen table in a New York City loft. Founder Carol Perkins was a Ford model in New York, Paris and London, and appeared in everything from Vogue to Harper’s Bazaar to Victoria’s Secret. While still modeling, she also made her debut on Broadway as a fire-eater with Penn & Teller. Then, while suffering from a rare brain tumor, Carol became homebound. She began dog-sitting for friends and creating dog beds, toys and robes as a form of therapy. The products were so popular that following her successful journey and recovery, Carol launched Harry Barker, named in honor of her ‘Super Sheltie' (pictured left). Today, our products are sold in over 3,900 retail doors in 19 countries.
