Question 6

Can we shop But First, West products in any store fronts?

Accepted Answer

Currently we do not have a Brick + Mortar, nor do any physical shops currently carry our products. All our products are handmade and shipped directly from our little studio in Los Angeles, CA.

Question 7

What are the different styles of accessory attachments offered?

Accepted Answer

Currently, our accessories are made to attach directly to your pups collar or to their hair! We offer two different attachments styles on our Bowties, Sailor Bows, Classic Hair Bows and Knotted Hair Bows:

1) Velcro loop. A Velcro loop is sewn onto the back of either a Bow Tie or Sailor Bow to attach around a collar. The Velcro is cut in 4.5" strips, making it easy to fit around collars that are 2" height or less. If you have a large pup that wears very thick collars, just let us know at checkout you need a slightly longer loop length to ensure your accessory stays intact!

*If you'd like a little extra security on your accessory, be sure to place the "Add on: Velcro loops" listing into your chart! This will give you two extra elastic loops on each side of the velcro attachment to loop your collar through!

2) Alligator clip. A matte black alligator clip will be attached to the back of a Classic Hair Bow, Knotted Hair bow or Sailor Bow (If you'd like to attach it to the top of your pups head or the tops of their ears). These are meant for dogs with long hair and typically do not work with short hair dog breeds. These clips are not sewn or glued on so can be removed if you'd like to wash the accessory.

3) Special order request: Nylon headband loop. These are meant for dogs with short hair and will attached to the back of a Classic Hair Bow, Knotted Hair bow or Sailor Bow (If you'd like to attach it to the top of your pups head). See photo number 11 below of Aurora rocking a hair bow with a nylon headband!
