Our Co-Founder, Sophia Loren is feisty, fearless, and adorable. She brings joy to our hearts, excitement in our lives, and always keeps things interesting. No, she is not a legendary Italian goddess, but just as beautiful hence the name. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all.
Over the years, Sophia has had many adventures and tackles them all with a can-do attitude. She continues to surprise us with her capabilities. Just recently, we became aware of her olympic worthy swimming styles in a crystal clear lake in the heart of the Adirondacks. However, in the true spirit of the Yorkie, her swimming was a result of her determination to capture a group of unsuspecting ducks. Thankfully, she was distracted by her own grace in the water and forgot about her original plan.
All these adventures take place while Sophia wears her stylish dog clothes. They serve a double purpose. One: poor little Sophia suffers from as many allergies as her human mom. To keep her skin protected from scratching (in addition to all the best homeopathic and gentle remedies) she wears lightweight and breathable fashion accessories. Two: she looks damn cute in all her stylish choices!
As for the former- one of her favorites is the brand Le Chien Bleu NY, a woman owned business (Jy Lee – Owner/Designer and Anita Lee – Sales/Marketing) located in NYC. In fact, the store just celebrated their grand opening, complete with the most beautiful new arrivals!
Their “ready to wear” collections include both functional and stylish pieces from hoodies to dresses, made from the finest fabrics like premium and 100% organic cotton, bamboo rayon and modal. Their partners and digital printing factories use Oeko-Tex standard 100 certified inks (every component of the clothing article, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health.)
Here’s what we love about Le Chien Bleu NY- the comfort, breathability, style, and most importantly for our little scratcher- durability. The fabric can withstand all the adventures your furbaby can handle and most importantly, multiple washes. Each piece is buttery soft, made from human grade fabric quality and feels more like a hug than a constricting clothing element like other brands. Each design is created in house. Outfits are available for every season and type of weather to keep your furry family member happy.
