A bag, carseat and bed - there's a new doggy designer in Cape Town | CapeTown ETC

Globally, the pet accessories market is predicted to grow rapidly over the next decade. This is due to the increase in dog ownership, to the pandemic when people were spending more time at home in the company of their pets and thirdly, and most importantly, to the trend of humanising dogs. Dog-owners often consider their pet to be the favourite in the family and want to spoil it with high quality accessories.

This growth came at the right time for Capetonian Gill Taylor. A dog lover with a strong emotional connection to her pets, for many years she’d wanted to start a business that encouraged the bond between owner and dog. Then, 18 months ago, things fell into place and her online company Petite French & Co. was born.The inspiration came from Gill’s 8-year-old French bulldog Sophie, hence the name.

Gill’s focus is on those who want the very best for their dogs. “These days millennials, empty nesters and city dwellers take their dogs everywhere and not just for walks. They take them to the beach, to restaurants and coffee shops and they want their dogs to look cool and stylish in keeping with their lifestyle.”As it’s important to keep dogs hydrated, her range includes a beautifully designed, collapsible dog bowl that can be popped into a tote or handbag.

Gill believes that dogs are not just pets. They are friends and companions and the heart of the household and, as such, deserve the best. “Nothing in the world makes me happier than a dog,” she says.
