The Artist and Her Muse...


Today I had the pleasure of uploading JoeysCoat’s latest designs on my eCommerce site,  joeyscoat.com.  If only there was a way to share “up close and personal” with the world, the quality and expertise of my brilliant friend and profoundly talented tailor, Dana Lazare.  Her style and training is classic.  Her designs, inspired.  Her “outside the box” thinking adds just the right eccentricity to each coat making them not only beautiful, but more important, Dana makes them interesting.

Every dog who wears a JoeysCoat is the only dog in the world with that exact coat...what a concept.  And, the dogs owners are being kind to the planet...even better.  

Fabric and patterns no longer produced with buttons and buckles no longer manufactured, each individually handcrafted...a dying art at best.  


The hunt for these treasures combined with witnessing their transformation is my joy...

I Wonder If They'll Notice...



Dang...

Simone and Luka!










No…they are not Muppets!  Simone and Luka are brother and sister Labradoodles belonging to Photographer Jenny Jimenez and her husband Robin.  

Dana custom designed Simone’s coat for the photo shoot.  Luka’s custom coat was still in process the day of, therefore he donned a plaid that would coordinate with his handsome-self…I think it’s working for him!

Thank you, Jenny, for an extraordinary collection of JoeysCoat images...
