About Creature Clothes

Creature Clothes British handmade pet accessories were born from a childhood sparkle of doggy love. Founded in 1999 by designer Cosima Pole, Creature Clothes was borne out of a collar Cosi made for Vodka her black Labrador out of an old necklace… every time Cosi and Vodka went anywhere, to the park, on the train, to the shops – people would ask where “that” collar came from and offer money to buy it there and then. So Cosi went to Menorca to work with a traditionally skilled leather worker, and one apprenticeship in leathermaking later Creature Clothes was born.It all started with handmade in the UK leather dog collars & matching belts for the furry friend owners. When Cosi’s dog collars came on the scene they swiftly took over from the cards with the buzz of excitement – nothing like this had been seen before. There was simply no one making cool collars for dogs in the UK at that time. Many of Cosi’s existing greeting card customers started stocking the small starter range of funky pet wear that Cosi had created – a capsule collection of 2 sizes of dog collar, a lead, a belt and a matching wrist cuff all in black saddle leather with silver stars, so you could accessorise your belt to your dogs collar. We still make the black star collars and they are still our most popular collar to this day. Over the years Creature Clothes has evolved into the UK’s most recognised dog & cat accessories for quality & funky style.Read their story
