Dog owners tend to project their personal image onto their canine companions. We’ve all seen the photographs of celebrities with fashion pups; carrying a pampered pooch around in an expensive tote. It’s as if the dog itself is an accessory. Some people put clothes on their dogs, some hang jewelry from the dog’s neck and some make fashion statements with designer dog collars.
Your choice of dog accessories reflects your own personality as well as the way you interpret your dog’s personality. There are luxurious and expensive dog clothes, Swarovski crystal dog collars, Italian dog carriers, fashion ID tags and many other high-end pet accessories on the market.
If you don’t want to take things that far but still want to communicate your sense of style, designer dog collars are an easy way to ensure you and your dog make a fashion statement. Dog collars are available from these popular brands.
Harley Davidson Dog Collars
Harley Davidson dog collars are natural choice for the dog-loving motorcycle enthusiast. The Harley Davidson brand projects a strong and very specific image. The company enjoys brand-loyal consumers that purchase a wide range of logo items. Licensing of the Harley logo is big business. The brand is added to clothing, wine glasses and even Harley Davidson dog collars. In fact, according to the company’s website, nearly 5% of annual net revenues come from logo licensing.
Harley Davidson dog collars are a logical extension for a brand that covers so much territory. Well known taglines like ‘bad to the bone’ and ‘born to be wild’ beg to be embroidered or etched onto dog collars.
If you want to be safe as well as stylish, pick up a Harley Davidson reflective pet id tag to complete the ensemble. There are several styles of Harley dog collars to choose from. Check online retailers or your local Harley Davidson store for selections.
Coach Dog Collars
Coach is a popular brand that expands into a variety of areas. Known originally for iconic Coach Handbags, the brand has grown to include jewelry, fragrance, shoes and even Coach dog collars.
A brand that stands for quality, the company puts the same amount of handiwork into the manufacture of Coach dog collars as they do into other Coach products.
The company’s collars come in an array of materials and styles. As expected, there are tan, black and brown leather collars on the market. Leather collars are also available in non-traditional colors including red, blue, green and even pink. Additionally, Coach dog collars are offered in brightly colored and patterned fabrics. A branded charm hangs from the metal loop.
Coach dog collars and accessories are available from their company website as well as from a variety of online retailers.
Ralph Lauren Dog Collars
As the advertisements suggest, Ralph Lauren is dog friendly. The fashion designer currently offers over 16 dog accessories in the Ralph Lauren line. First to hit the market were Ralph Lauren dog polo shirts, followed by dog cashmere sweaters. The brand has expanded to include dog hoodies, trench coats, leashes and collars.
To further the pet friendly theme, dogs are allowed in the Ralph Lauren stand-alone retail stores.
Ralph Lauren’s Louisiana alligator dog collar is an expensive luxury item. Designed in the style of their elegant Ricky handbag, the dog collar is made of dark leather with a polished brass buckle. A brass lock with “RL 67” engraved on it hangs from the metal loop. Perhaps to emphasize the connection between the pet owner and his canine companion, the lock comes with a brass key that the human can wear on a chain as a necklace pendent.
Ralph Lauren pet accessories are available for purchase from the company website and other online retailers.
