Sniff This

This post started with research for our doberman/shar-pei mix who gets awful cold now on our morning walks as it gets colder and colder. I was searching for a coat that would keep him dry and warm, but found it's actually hard to find larger breed dog apparel that isn't flannel or boring.  Then, we found a very cool boutique, Trixie + Peanut with an online store and a flagship boutique in New York City. 

While our vision for Extraordinique has been to feature the artists, designers and innovators who are personally creating new things, I thought Trixie + Peanut founder, Susan Bing, had the backstory that carries the extraordinique perspective we are looking for. As an art director and graphic designer for over ten years, Bing became the Art Director for Tiffany & Company's marketing department, designing and overseeing production of all catalogs, publications and advertising. Through her freelance assignments and in-house positions at other firms, Bing has worked on projects for clients including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bill Blass and Estée Lauder.

In the six years since founding Trixie + Peanut, Bing has transformed a small catalog business into a complete lifestyle brand for today's pets and the owners who love them. She carries great products and notes they are for "pets + people" which is a great perspective to have when it comes to all "pet parents" we know.

What people do and what they can create is the vision of Extraordinique. We are glad to have sniffed out Trixie & Peanut and this SNIFF Jumper is definitely more our pup's style!
