Calling all chic chiens! L.A.'s Clare V. and dog photographer Elias Weiss Friedman, a.k.a. the Dogist, have teamed up on the coolest collection for stylish pooches.
Out today, Clare V. and the New York Times bestselling author's Maison du Chien collection ($20 to $375) brings L.A. designer Clare Vivier's playful, Paris-meets-Cali style to accessories and apparel for doggos and their fashionable humans. The collab includes collars and leashes in luxe vegetable-tanned leather, adjustable nylon webbing, and reversible striped options that match Clare V.'s signature crossbodies (including the Grande and Petite Fanny bags) in a color palette of chocolate brown, evergreen, bright poppy, navy, and marigold. Accessories come in dog sizes from Petite to Grand and human sizes from XS to XXL.
Carryalls come in debossed black, brown and green leather with detachable straps that say "Tou Tou" (which translates to "doggie" in French) and "Maison du Chien" in Vivier's signature font. There's also a nylon tote bag that fits small fur babies, dog bandanas, leather keychains shaped like dog bones and paws, oversized tees, trucker hats, and colorful phrases with your dog's favorite commands.
Friedman hit the streets of New York to showcase his new collab. Shot by Gus Powell, the campaign sees adorable doggies and their two-legged best friends in matching checkered and leather styles.
"We've talked for years at Clare V. about making leashes, collars, and other dog accessories. Like millions of other people, we love the way Elias sees dogs," Vivier says in a statement. "His love and respect come through in all of his work, especially his Instagram. When we finally got to meet him, it was clear we'd found the perfect partner for the project."
Continues the L.A. creative director, "Our dogs, Paco (rest in peace) and Coqui, have brought so much joy and light into our lives. I've always said they are the best members of our family. What I really mean is that the way they embody goodness, enthusiasm, and love is the best of us — every day for them is the best day ever." (The collab's leather Paco collars and leashes nods to Vivier's beloved canine, while the Elsa nylon accessories are named after Friedman's fluffy white Swiss Shepherd, Elsa.)
Adds Friedman: "Any time I can bring my dog, Elsa, with me, it makes the experience ten times better. I know most dog parents feel the same way. I've photographed more than 50,000 dogs and have seen just about every kind of collar, leash, and travel accessory imaginable. Working alongside Clare V., we wanted to create a collection that makes bringing your dog everywhere feel effortless and extra special. The collection is beautifully designed, incredibly functional, and something you'll be excited to use every day."
The 30-plus-piece collab will be refreshed for the holidays and spring 2027. Ten percent of the collection's proceeds will benefit the Dogist Fund, which supports dog rescue organizations, working dogs and nonprofits that improve the lives of pups and their people.
Friedman created @thedogist account, which boasts more than 11 million followers across social media, and has photographed more than 50,000 pups and their owners, including President Joe Biden and his dog, Commander, at the White House. He's also the author of three books, including two coffee table books.
