Thanks to The Barkitect for throwing this little treat our way – we just had to share! A walking homage to our Boston Terrier Basil and a throwback to our childhood when quilted jumpers were all the rage; we want and need this dog print bomber jacket in our life.
Jo Chambers, the clever and creative gal behind Studio Legohead, has got some serious skills. She draws, paints, illustrates, embroiders, makes brooches and even designs quirky trophies. We’re most interested in her love of dogs, and how well she captures their personalities in her beautiful custom pet portraits.
In our latest Breed Focus, we put a pup that packs a punch, the Jack Russell Terrier, in the spotlight.
The sun may be cracking the flags outside but a true fashionista is always looking forward, which is why this month we’re looking ahead to Autumn and coveting this wool/cashmere mix, dog graphic sweater by Burberry Brit.
We’ve been fans of kitsch homeware store Fishs Eddy since we lived in NYC way back when so when we heard the news that we could get our paws on their designs at London department store Liberty tails were-a-wagging. We’ve since discovered that dogs have made it into Fishs Eddy’s range of edgy and playful range of kitchenalia.
I was first introduced to skincare brand Aesop by a friend when my winter hands were in desperate need of hydration. From the depths of her oversized handbag, she promptly produced the most nourishing, sweet-smelling hand cream I’ve ever used and believe me my hands get v. bad in winter. Their botanically based skin, hair and body products for him and her include high-quality plant-based ingredients and non-botanical elements such as anti-oxidants so it’s packed with the good stuff. Most excitingly Aesop now produces an Animal Wash, a mild skin and fur wash, which gently cleanses and deodorises their coat leaving them smelling fresh with a mix of mint and citrus notes. For you, try their A Rose By Any Other Name Body Cleanser, a beautifully fragrant formulation containing skin-softening botanical extracts and Rose Petal oil.
It’s been a while since our last Nine To Fido but we’re delighted to share our interview with Dragon’s Den success story – Marie Sawle, Founder and Managing Director of nutritious dog snack company Billy + Margot. Marie launched her first product – iced treats for dogs - in March 2012 at Crufts and hasn’t looked back since.
Ka-Pow! The pop art movement is having a huge influence on fashion this year, and it would seem the world of dog too. Take a look at our top of the pup picks of products for both you and the dog.
