It all started with a bow tie and an eco-friendly idea. I love Buggsly Black Label, an innovative and creative brand out of Vancouver, Canada, that makes eco-friendly dog products, using recycled materials.
Named after the cute Boston Terrier/Pug mix rescue of brand founders, Cassidy Morgan and Michael Flint, Buggsly Black Label has expanded from colorful, fun shirt collared bows-ties into cool jackets. But, true to the Buggsly brand, these aren’t just any jackets.
Buggsly Black Label Dog Jackets were engineered using a special, 3-layer material called Dintex®. It’s composed of recycled fibers, including those from water bottles, that helps to make the jacket lightweight, waterproof, windproof and breathable; a perfect all-weather choice. The inner lining is impenetrable to wind and rain, while still allowing for airflow, keeping our pups dry but not overheated. And, each jacket is trimmed with a highly reflective, 500 candle-power binding, that makes them visible, even in low light circumstances.
The Buggsly Black Label Dog Jackets were designed for active dogs. The construction of the coat and the materials used allow for complete natural movement.
And, the colors are beautiful. Acai violet, Mykonos Blue, classic Black, Samba Red, Carafe and Deep Lichen Green…yum!
With the quality of the materials and all it can do, you’d think the jacket would be very expensive. But, it doesn’t break the bank. Ranging in price from $69 – $109, depending on the size of the dog, you get a lot for your money.
And, here’s a little tip about what’s coming up for this cool brand. Stay tuned for a great accessory to the jackets – an insulating sweater meant to be worn under the jacket, that will keep your pooch warm and look great! Some parts will peek out from the jacket and accent it, so expect to see a variety of fabrics, colors and patterns, and think mix and match!
Closer to spring, a special visibility harness is on the horizon, also made from recycled fabrics with a reflective trim, available in the colors of the jacket.
Consciousness and creativity…it’s a match!
