CharlieWear Handcrafted Dog & Cat Collars and Accessories
Material Goods/Craft/Flea/Art
I created CharlieWear because my dogs are my children and I want them to look their best. In local pet stores, I could never find the patterns I wanted in a collar to make dogs stand out. I found my grandmother’s old sewing machine and tried my hand at designing my own, and soon after CharlieWear was born. The name CharlieWear comes from my beloved, rescued Shepherd mix that passed away in 2014 from a yearlong battle with an autoimmune disease. Charles was my first real responsibility and unfortunately was taken from me way to soon. He always loved a new collar, and always felt very handsome in new and creative designs – so I wanted to dedicate my business lovingly to him.
CharlieWear is a 'family' owned and operated business, comprised of myself and my two collar dog models: Josie and Olive. I provide durable, functional, and fashionable dog collars and leashes that we know you and your canine will adore. Each item is specifically handcrafted for you in my home right here in Tampa, Florida.
Each pet product I sell has been made exclusively by me in my home.

I am a local artist right here in Tampa, Florida. My day job consists of working as a scientist for a cancer therapy biotechnology company. I enjoy crafting these unique pet products as a way to exercise creativity and interact with local dog and cat lovers. I have two guest artists that have contributed to the CharlieWear product line and accompany me to vendor shows.
