🧵 The Fabric Guide: Cotton vs Satin vs Velvet for Dog Clothing

Not All Fabrics Are Created Equal

Choosing the right outfit for your dog isn't just about colour and print — fabric matters just as much for comfort, durability, and seasonal suitability. Here's how our three signature fabrics compare.

Cotton — The Everyday Essential

Breathable, soft, and gentle on sensitive skin, cotton is ideal for daily wear, hot weather, and dogs with allergies. It's also the easiest fabric to wash and maintain.

Satin — The Festive Favourite

Lightweight with a beautiful sheen, satin is perfect for special occasions like weddings and festivals. It drapes elegantly but requires gentler hand-washing to maintain its finish.

Velvet — The Winter Statement

Rich, warm, and visually luxurious, velvet outfits are best suited for cooler months and indoor celebrations. It provides extra warmth for short-haired breeds during chilly evenings.

Quick Decision Guide

  • Daily walks & summer: Cotton
  • Weddings & festivals: Satin
  • Winter & indoor parties: Velvet
