Neue Galerie presents a new brand, Neue Hund, a line of chic canine couture and luxe accessories inspired by the museum’s mascot, a chocolate miniature Schnauzer named Milly von Barksky (the model). The line was conceived by museum director Renée Price, who travels the world to assemble the finest accessories for dogs and their owners, made by some of the most talented designers. Every item incorporates the principles of Vienna 1900 design: a refined aesthetic, exquisite materials, and superior craftsmanship. In other words, these are for the most distinguished and discerning of doggies.
The Hund Travel Carrier is made from hand-sewn chocolate brown calf-skin with comfortable hand-stitched leather handles, detachable woven shoulder strap, and nickel-plated brass hardware. Suitable for pets up to 20 lbs. Produced by R. Horn’s Wien.

I spotted these over at The Premium Pet and I really love the color combination, it reminds me of the southwest, but modern. The vibrant yellow leather is inlaid with rectangular turquoise stones. And, they have a matching leash! I’m a sucker these days for matching collars and leashes.

I have been a fan of Annie’s Sweatshop for quite some time now and love that she’s got some great eco-friendly dog accessories. My current favorite is this modern plaid set that consists of a harness (looks like it’s sold out!), collar, and leash. I love that Annie will give you a $5 rebate if you recycle your old collar or leash with her.

This Holy Cow collar by Etsy seller jenniebgoode is so adorable that I just had to post. Jennie is a Canadian-born animal lover who has made her home in South Carolina, with her husband, elderly cat named Bailey and her English Bulldog Miss Sophia (pictured below). I think if Lulu were an English Bulldog instead of an American one, she’d look just like Miss Sophia.

He decided to mesh his love for animal science with his passion for the urban lifestyle. The Urban Animal Scientist seeks to provide a space to facilitate the enrichment of urban canine health and style. Through education, nutrition, and fashion, they serve clients by offering contemporary-focused products for each aspect of their canine’s life.
They recently launched a very extensive line of oversized canine collars that resemble men’s ties and offer over 80 different styles in 3 different sizes that also can be purchased with matching leads.
