New business at 511 N. Liberty Street - Pupcessories Crafts

Andrew and Amber Laudicina have a newly opened storefront called Pup-Cessories Crafts at 511 N. Liberty Street.  Andrew is a 1st generation U.S. citizen whose family emigrated from Sicily to New York.  Amber is a native of Ocala, Florida and they met thru work in their previous jobs.  They married and settled in Florida until moving to North Carolina during the pandemic. In 2014, while living in Florida, Amber endured several years of serious health challenges which required the assistance of a trained service dog to assist and mitigate her disabilities in many amazing ways. Andrew, who has lifelong experience in Creative Design Leadership is Amber's partner in this new business which started when Amber wanted to purchase custom accessories for her service dog but was unable to find anything that suited her needs.  She learned to sew and build custom dog/pet gear and now specializes in custom orders for owners with working dogs. However, their products are also for all dogs/pets. Some of their favorite work is when they build custom harnesses for military veterans who need the assistance of a service animal, some involving the veteran’s uniform to make it more unique and special which can include their ranks, awards including the Purple Heart.  

Most of their work orders are on-line, however, Amber and Andrew would like to be a visible member of the Winston-Salem community and encourage customers to "walk-in" to their store and visit them.  They love living in North Carolina and consider themselves "halfbacks" (transplanted notherners moving out of Florida to mid-south states).
