Best designer dog accessories: Gucci, Prada and more

We’d do pretty much anything for our precious pets.

Shelling out in the name of insurance, providing them with the finest organic grub and ensuring they remain happy and healthy throughout their little lives is part and parcel of being a dog owner.

So when Gucci launched a luxury pet collection in 2022, the corner of the internet saturated with canine lovers went into meltdown. Rhinestone-clad dog collars, monogrammed dog coats and bedazzled leads were suddenly up for grabs, and those who desperately seek to spoil their furry friends made a beeline for them.  

Designer dogwear isn’t a new phenomenon. For years, fashion houses such as Prada and Burberry have continued to offer up pet collections, comprising clothing and accessories. But what is it about the trend that’s so alluring? The idea of having the best-dressed pooch in the park? The fact that you adore your pup so much they simply have to be clad in Prada wherever they walk? Regardless, if you have the money to spend on a luxury pet accessory, we don’t blame you for going all out. 

Make no mistake, designer doggos are on the up. A brief walk through Notting Hill or Chelsea will prove the point. Following in the footsteps of Paris Hilton and her prized pooch Tinkerbell who remains a shining star of the Noughties, multiple dog owners (particularly those in the city) are leaning into the designer dog trend. 

Designer dog accessory hauls have started to penetrate TikTok, with owners showcasing their Swarovski crystal leads, Gucci puppy carriers and Fendi puffer jackets for all to ogle at. Naturally, celebrities have adopted the theme too, with stars like Nicola Peltz Beckham and Sofia Vergara carrying their befurred pals in designer tote bags wherever they go.
