Celine goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is the best dressed in the park.
The French fashion house has unveiled a new collection of upscale dog accessories that will make your four-legged friend the envy of everyone. Celine’s creative director Hedi Slimane originally started designing pet accessories for his dog, Elvis. After unveiling the inaugural line of petwear last year, the house followed up with a fresh seasonal collection.

Using Celine’s leather craftsmanship, the range showcases soft suede and smooth calf leather. Some pieces are also made from the iconic Triomphe canvas because, well, pups appreciate a durable yet stylish material, too.
With prices ranging from $120 to $3,250, the pieces run the gamut from leashes and collars to dog carriers and trash bags. There are also some items for cats, in case you’re more feline-inclined. Pet owners can expect the quality and finish of Celine-caliber clothing. Accessories feature Triomphe-engraved pyramid studs and metallic hardware with a gold or silver finish, for example.
The comprehensive collection also includes accessories for the home. Think elegant bowls, bedding, and sheets. In addition, there are brushes for grooming and toys for playing. Basically, it’s everything your pet needs but elevated to the nth degree.
This season’s campaign once again highlights Slimane’s dog, Elvis, as Princess Caroline of Hanover’s two gorgeous dogs, Pulis and Eloïse.
Celine isn’t the only designer label making high-end items for Fido, of course. The luxury pet market is exploding, with doggie designs from the likes of Burberry, Versace, Moncler, and Paul Smith up for grabs.
America is willing to shell out a lot of money for man’s best friend, too. Pet spending reached $136.8 billion in the US last year, up nearly 11 percent from 2021, according to data released in March by the American Pet Products Association (APPA). Almost half of that dosh ($58.1 billion) was spent on meals and treats. It was the highest spending category, in fact, with the largest increase at 16.2 percent. There is a clear need for accessories, though, and Celine caters to it.
