A luxury pet brand, CharlieBaby, is hoping to fill a gap in what it considers an industry of poor-fitting dog apparel.

“CharlieBaby was created to fill the void between mass-produced and ill-fitting dog apparel,” CharlieBaby founder Khary Dandy said in a statement. “I wanted to create a luxury house dedicated exclusively to pet garments and accessories using the finest materials and paying attention to detail, fit, comfort, and ease of wear.”

Made in Italy using tailoring techniques as traditional fashion houses, Dandy said CharlieBaby has debuted its signature style, L’Armure. The product is made with 100 per cent polyamide recycled nylon, faux leather trim, Bemberg Cupro lining, high-quality notations and trims, lurex ribbed collars and cuffs.

It also has insulation to keep your dog warm in colder seasons, a statement reads. From chihuahuas to cocker spaniels, the first style, L’Armure, is available in six sizes to fit most small to medium-sized dogs. Dandy said he enlisted the help of Italian suit tailor Jean-Paul Logiacco to develop the intricate design.

The former musician-turned-fashion stylist, who once had a record deal with Elektra Entertainment, added that he plans to donate five per cent of its gross revenues to charities dedicated to improving the lives of dogs.
