The demand for fashion dog collars has been going up for the past few years with no end in sight! The high end designers like Gucci, Coach and LV started the trend and it's done nothing but snowball despite the recent economic downturn! Some of the price tags on these collars can be downright frightening! Louis Vuitton and Gucci can get into the hundreds of dollars and people are paying it! The most popular designer dog collar is made by Coach and that is likely due to two things.
Price and brand recognition.
First, even their most expensive styles are priced well under $100.
Second, because of the popularity of their handbag line, women love to match their dog collars with the purse they own.
With such a huge share in the women's fashion marketplace, Coach makes their dog collar colors and styles to match their bags and accessories.
There's nothing like struttin down the street with an oversized designer signature bag over your shoulder and a pocket pooch poking his head and matching collar out of that bag! With this wild popularity comes the designer inspired type collars popping up everywhere.
Though not quite as good a quality, the prices are quite affordable in comparison with the actual designer collars.
These designer inspired collars will run about $15-$20 and look pretty nice on your dog.
They are often made of genuine leather and in many colors and sizes.
It's a good alternative to the well known designer fashion collars if you must dress up your dog on a budget.
If you've been thinking of a make over for your pooch, fashion dog collars are a great choice.
Keep in mind the cheaper "designer inspired" collars will not hold up as well as the true designer collars.
For a smaller dog or if just for show, that's perfectly fine.
But for larger dogs that the collar is actually used for restraint when walking or chaining outside for any period of time, you will likely want a better quality collar.
