		<description><![CDATA[What started as a lockdown project in 2020 is now a thriving business within a business, keeping over 22 knitters busy in the creation of Chommies’ line of colour-soaked casual-wear. And now under the new name, Mo-hey! Renowned for its eye-catching dog accessories that rival the most designer of human-wear, the Cape Town-based brand continues to bring its signature joy to people with its collections of hand-knitted mohair jerseys, cardigans, hoodies, coats and vests. Whether you’re grabbing coffee and walking your dog in the morning, wrapping up after a cold-water swim or enjoying cocktails and snacks with best friends in the evening, Mo-hey! brings a sense of fun and effortless luxury to everyday life. Every piece has been conceived to become a versatile wardrobe staple to take you through the seasons, brightening your days while cocooning you in a luxurious layer of warmth. The naturally ‘breathing’ fibres absorb and release atmospheric moisture, leaving you at your most comfortable. Each Mo-hey! item is made from hand-sheared, hand-spun and hand-dyed wool, and is hand-knitted — strictly no machines allowed! The intricate process begins with the finest mohair fibres from Adéle’s Mohair’s Angora goats that roam freely across the Greater Karoo region. Shearing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Colourful and locally made accessories brand Chommies&#8217; latest range of collars, leashes and harnesses, the Mother City Collection, brings enviable street style to dogs across the world in a way that captures Cape Town’s unique lifestyle. South Africa’s Mother City boasts cityscapes with surrounding mountains, oceans and forests, among which resident dogs are able to lead a full life immersed in the vibrancy of both the city and nature. To be a Capetonian companion is to explore this multifaceted city, which is one of the most dog-friendly in the world: strutting on the prom, accompanying their human for a flat white (and puppacino) in a city-centre cafe, leaping through the surf on Camps Bay beach and hiking up Lion’s Head are all in a day’s leisure for a Cape Town dog. The new collection includes the Adjustable Leather Dog Collar, Everyday Leather Dog Leash and Leather Dog Harness. For the first time, Chommies has developed a special Sighthound line dedicated to svelte whippets and greyhounds. For these lean, athletic dogs, the curved shape of the new Adjustable Leather Sighthound Collar has been uniquely designed to fit snugly around the neck to prevent it from slipping off, with extra-soft leather cushioning [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Known and loved for vivacious and bold colour, lifestyle brand Chommies has once again put dog accessories up in lights with its latest collection, African Ecstasy. A celebration of the wild and wonderful magic of South Africa’s Great Karoo, African Ecstasy takes its inspiration from the kaleidoscopic colours that burst through sunsets and succulent blooms, juxtaposed against earthy textures and the rawness of the landscape. The result is a euphoric collection of fluoro-pops set against a calming canvas of neutral tones, guaranteed to leave you high on happiness. ‘When you set wild, bright colours against arid stillness, like the calm and serenity of the Karoo, something quite magical happens. Coming out of Covid, I was inspired by AfrikaBurn with its sense of expanse and festivity. I loved the idea of echoing this blazing palette against fur tones, which contrastingly are quite neutral’ Nathalie Kjiln, founder and creative director of Chommies explains. The leather, rope and hand-whipped statement collars and leashes are available in eight new colourways: African Twist, Atomic Carrot, Blue Dory, Camo Glow, Pink Punk, Purple Barney, Something Sweet and Spicy Karoo. For the delight of stylish dog owners, there are also basket bags, keyrings and phone accessories to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer in Cape Town is all about white sand between your toes, linger-longer sunsets and carefree days… Capturing the spirit of the Mother City over high season, the new eye-catching ‘Holiday’ collection of dog collars, leashes and accessories by Chommies are gorgeous to look at, and so masterfully made, they’re worthy of a pedigree. The fun-in-the-sun collection is aptly dubbed Clifton 1st, after Clifton’s iconic only dog-friendly beach. Delicately beaded, but not delicate, the collars are meant for dogs that roll around in the sand and catch waves as much as those that enjoy the vibey walking and cafe culture of the city. ‘Clifton 1st has been a long time in the making,’ says Chommies creative director and founder Nathalie Klijn. ‘I always wanted to work with beads in a colourful Chommies way, but it’s taken two years to develop and fully bring the concept to life. Clifton during the summer perfectly encapsulates the feel-good essence of Cape Town lifestyle, set amidst the extraordinary surroundings most often enjoyed in the best of company.’ The trio of patterned colourways have playful, fun names to help get you into the holiday spirit, with nods to a typical Atlantic Seaboard beach scene in [...]]]></description>
