Fit for a Noble Beast

I mentioned Louis’ plethora of Hanukah gifts in an earlier post - a new collar and leash he received are worth raving about. We needed to get him something a little more ‘Miami’ to fit in with his new surroundings. The basic black nylon worked in Chicago, but Miami is a whole different scene in terms of fashion.
Purchased (of course) at The Dog Bar in Miami Beach, the collar and leash are made by a new company based out of San Fransico called Blueblood. Founded by two close friends, one with a background in the arts and antiques business and the other with a background in finance, Blueblood was founded with a fashion meets function philosophy for the puppy parent with discerning taste. The company makes collars, leads and beds in a variety of collars, patterns and materials. Currently, there are three collections, inspired by and named for coastal United States towns; Pacific Heights, Central Park, and Montecito.
Louis received the his collar and leash from the Montecito collection. The Gretel is made of regal faux white ostrich skin (it really looks like the real thing) and has contrasting chocolate brown fabric on the reverse. The hardware is made of nickel 
and is rust resistant. The Collar snaps together with a chunky, chic nickel buckle. The dog tag snap is removable so if your pup is lucky enough to have a wardrobe of collars, ID transfer is made simple.
After being soaked in this morning’s rainstorm, I was a bit concerned about the collar and lead maintaining the look they came with. They have both dried out and look as good as when we bought them and so far, the nickel truly is rust resistant! Louis looks totally Miami-luxe in his all white get-up, all in all - a fine upgrade!
