We took to the streets to find a couple of mighty fine fashionistas, and ended up wi' a couple of doggos instead...
“I’m all about the finer things in life. Thanks to my healthy amount of Instagram followers – over 8,000 fans, dontcha know – I either get sent my bandanas from friends in the US, or my owner trawls through Etsy to find a lead or accessory that’s just right. I absolutely adore This Charming Hound, which is a business run by a lovely lady in Norfolk, or even Dapper Maximus Designs, run by Neve, a seventeen-year-old entrepreneur. Now she knows how to make a jaunty collar.
To be honest, I think us mutts have got the right idea compared to you two-legged folk. Dog style has gone back to how people used to buy clothes; homemade or from local seamstresses, all made to order and bespoke. The makers know you and message you with fabric you might like. We prefer our walks to be fast, not our fashion. Sure, it might not be the most selfless way to spend your coppers, but if you can look good and support the community, then what’s not to like?”

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
