Greg + Tess.

The idea behind GRETESS came to me unexpectedly. One day, I was scrolling online looking for the best lint roller for our 6-month-old kittens, Linton and Paint, who absolutely love sleeping in our bed.

Their names have a special story of their own. They were named after Greg’s auto body business, Linton Paint & Body, in Delray Beach, Florida — the place we call home.

While searching for lint rollers, I came across a portable pet water bottle — and it immediately caught my attention. I was amazed that one bottle could carry water and treats and have a built-in drinking bowl all in one. I loved the concept, but I wanted to take it a step further by customizing the design to make it feel more personal, premium, and uniquely GRETESS.

I chose premium-quality, double-wall insulated stainless steel and customized the bottle with the GRETESS logo and paw prints to complement our signature bone-shaped bowl. The result was a practical, durable, and beautifully coordinated accessory designed to make outings with your pet easier and more convenient.

I started researching different bottles, materials, designs, and features. What began as a simple search for a lint roller quickly became an idea I couldn’t stop thinking about.

The very next day, I opened GRETESS LLC.

And just like that, something I discovered while shopping for Linton and Paint became the beginning of a new adventure.

GRETESS was created from Greg + Tess, inspired by our love for our pets, and proudly born in Delray Beach, Florida.
