Welcome to Puppy Couture Knits, the Couture Dog Clothing company making the hi-end Designer Dog Knitwear. I pride myself on High Fashion, Expert Workmanship, and Artistry and I am confident that you will love my designs and quality.
Our furry little friends should look gorgeous and fashionable, but never at the expense of comfort. Just ask my little poodle,
All garments are Functional and Stylish.
Each garment is proudly made in the USA.
My designs are meant to feel like a loving hug. Material will expand and move with your pup, but will not stretch or distort. The shape of the garment is made to ensure the sweater stays in place and is very comfortable to wear. Easy on and easy off.
I knitted my first sweater at nine years old. An early love of design and fashion inspired me to make my own clothes and knit sweaters and jackets for my friends and family. When I immigrated to America in 1979, I enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology and learned how to use handloom machines; ultimately, however, I found that hand looming, hand knitting and hand crocheting combined made for stunning custom knitwear. When I began my business in 1985, I sold my knitwear to specialty boutiques and department stores like Neiman Marcus, Cache, and Lillie Rubin. Eventually, however, I switched to all custom-made orders; I loved the personal approach and knowing that I was dressing the individual woman to look her very best.
A decade ago, my beautiful yorkie, Mickey, got sick and lost all his hair. That is when I began making sweaters to keep him warm during New York winters and to keep the mosquitos away during summers. He happened to like his new look! That is also when I fell in love with creating doggie knitwear.
My toy poodle, Fluffy, has now also lost much of her formerly luxurious coat, though thankfully not due to illness. It has become my personal mission to dress her comfortably and beautifully; my love for her and all dogs is reflected in this Collection.
My approach to dog clothes is the same as it is to women’s wear. Our furry little friends must look gorgeous and fashionable, but never at the expense of comfort.
Dog clothes must be made in a special way.
First, this clothing must last and be comfortable for twelve months out of the year. I use blends of wool and rayon, viscose and other high quality yarns to make my clothing very soft and lightweight.
Second, the clothing must fit perfectly. Every piece is made with love and experience; every piece hugs your pet’s body.
Third, your pup deserves to look good! My attractive and unique designs will make your dog look as special (not to mention, gorgeous!) to others as he or she is to you.
My core philosophy—that dog clothing should reflect the love you feel for your pet— the tenets above, and my thirty years of experience in women’s designer knitwear are gathered in this Collection.
