LIFE UP HIGH

WORDS BY Olivia Finlayson

Gone are the days of dog carriers that sat firmly in the ‘novelty’ rather than ‘fashion’ camp. What was once an accessory designed purely for unadorned functionality— ferrying a pet from A to B—he humble hound carrier has been raised up by forward-thinking designers like 2.8, who blend fashion and functionality with ease and an eco-conscious lean. Made using 100% organic cotton, the Margaret carrier’s grainy texture hints at its robustness. As with all 2.8 pieces, the Margaret has been handmade sustainably using the highest-quality materials and impeccable Italian craftsmanship.

Slung comfortably in the crook of your arm with sleek leather handles, the Margaret offers a perfect portable sanctuary for any animal tipping the scales between 8-10kg. Lined with organic cotton, your hound can comfortably kick back in style while you do the leg work. In naturally dyed, neutral shades of Graphite and Pebble, the Margaret straight-up redefines ‘dog accessories’, looking more like an overnight travel bag on its way to a weekend sojourn in Milan. Can we come?

PACK OF DOGS

Have you ever imagined Amy Winehouse or Nick Cave as a Chihuahua, Neil Young as a Vizsla, or PJ Harvey as an Afghan hound? That’s exactly what San Francisco-based artist Michael Gillette has done through his unique illustration project, blending beloved, iconic music legends, both past and present, with their dog counterparts. Pack of Dogs, our first foray into book publishing, is a celebration of pup and pop culture for music and dog lovers alike.
