Burberry aren't the only designer label

Though Burberry aren't the only designer label to release their
own dog clothing collection, Burberry for dogs is definitely the
collection with the most fashion credibility if you consider
that as well as being English, and therefore well accustomed to
bad weather, Thomas Burberry's initial success was for outdoor
wear, trenchcoats and sweaters.

So if you are looking to dress your dog up, think of Burberry
for dogs, with their trenchcoats, leashes and custom-made
sweaters, your dog will always keep warm whilst looking elegant
and refined just like Burberry clothes make you feel when you
wear them. It's a sweet way of extending your love for fashion
to your pet.

Unfortunately, Burberry clothing for dogs are a little pricey
with the Check sweater for dogs selling at $155 and only
available from select Burberry stores. But why not coordinate
and shop for a Burberry mesh hat, handbag or sweater for
yourself online? Shops like Bluefly.com and Ashford.com sell
authentic Burberry clothing and accessories at lower prices than
in real shops.

Burberry and Dogs 1

Burberry is one of the world's famous designer brands. But
branded trenchcoats and sweaters for dogs? A thought that may
make you raise your eyebrows!

Is today's designer fashion selling out? Despite what you might
think, high-class designer labels also cater for your pets
nowadays as does British luxury label Burberry who has just
released their own collection of Burberry clothing for dogs.
Most notable features are the famous Burberry trenchcoat for
dogs as well as the Check sweater and Burberry dog leash.

Where did this trend start? The origins of dog clothing most
probably came from England due to its damp and cold climate, it
was very easy for smaller dogs to catch colds when they were
taken out. So for a while it was not uncommon to find small dogs
dressed in cover-up "raincoats" and sausaged in small waterproof
capes.

But the idea of actually dressing your dog and providing them
with a wardrobe only came up recently. Sparked by such
celebrities as Paris Hilton and her pet chihuahua Tinkerbell as
well as the successful Hollywood movie 'Legally Blonde',
dressing your dog up has become the ultimate in fashion and
accesorizing.

From an alligator-skin dog collar and leash set to an elegant
Burberry trench coat for dogs, shoes, t-shirts, hats and more
you can find just about everything you wear yourself in 'dog
sizes'. Bloomingdale's, Neiman-Marcus, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, all
the biggest names in fashion have pawed their way into the very
lucrative pet-accessories market, an industry that gathered an
estimated $8 billion during 2004.
