Hyde Doofenmitez/Hyde "Heinrich" Monogram (aka Agent Hyde) belongs to @aprilbrowines.
Raven in the night
Summary: Agent Hyde goes undercover for a mission.
Dark red illuminated the hotel suite as a man got up from the bed, he looked from his shoulder to see his lover sleeping, his body splayed about. Looking around the room I checked in the closet to find a black suitcase. A soft clatter was heard as he turned around, prepared to defend himself.
It turned out to be the phone vibrating on the side table. He sighed, reached over, and grabbed the phone. He read the text.
How’s the business trip dear?
—
Agent Hyde’s mission was simple: get intel on some illegal funding. They sat at one of the bars at the cadence casino, drinking his russian spring punch when someone approached them. He looked like a yuppie from the 80s, clad in a burgundy suit.
He smirks at Hyde, “Hey there handsome, What’s a guy like you doing in a place like this?”
“The usual things, trying my luck on slots or something else.” they said to man, tipping his shades revealing his blue eyes to entice his prey. They were wearing a pale yellow short-sleeved button-up with black polka dots and slacks. A bit of chest was showing.
“Maybe we can both help each other out, if you catch my drift?”
Hyde chuckles, finishing their drink before whispering in the man’s ear.
“Name your price and time~”
—
After a couple of shots from the minibar the two begin to kiss and caress each other, Hyde teasing their prey with hickeys and kisses on his neck. He tried keeping up with them, taking off their shirt, giving their nipples a tender lick making them moan. The man grinded himself on Hyde before collapsing on them.
Thankfully the drug worked quicker than expected as they responded to the text.
"It's going well honey thanks ☺"
Hyde takes pictures of the suitcase's documents, making sure they got a clear view. Once changed into a different outfit they slip out of the room, leaving with some incriminating files.

Jukebox game: 18 Y please 🤍.
Younger Adventure or Experience They Had, Pre-T7S: Jackie/Hyde
I have several headcanons (and I'm sure I could come up with more 😅), but I'll write one of them.
In tenth grade, Hyde spots Jackie being bullied by two junior girls. He walks up to the three of them and says to Bully One, "Oh, hey, your dad left his monogrammed robe in my ma's bedroom last weekend. Got a Polaroid of it if you want to see ... or I could show your mom if you don't leave this freshman here alone."
Bully Two laughs, and Bully One runs away. She never bothers Jackie again.
Hyde turns to Bully Two and says, "Wanna know what positions your dad likes having sex in? 'Cause I caught him and my ma doin' it. More than once. I bet Timmy would have a field day telling the whole school about it. Unless you decide to quit bothering -- "
"I'll stop, I'll stop!" Bully Two says. "Just don't tell anyone. Please!"
Hyde nods. "You keep up your end of the bargain, I'll keep my trap shut."
Bully Two nods back and rushes off.
Jackie says to Hyde, "Why did you do that?"
"'Cause I know those chicks. Rep is everything to 'em. If the illusion of their perfect home lives is shattered, down goes their social standing."
"What about you?"
"Me?" Hyde chuckles. "I got no social standing."
He walks down the school hallway, and he and Jackie have no signifi interaction until Kelso starts dating her that summer. But Jackie never forgets how Hyde protected her that day.
That's why she always goes to him when she's in trouble.

Once again, a useless side character like Thornhill being merchandised, but Xavier doesn’t get anything when he was one of the main characters in s1. It’s annoying. Just one piece of merchandise for him is all I’m asking for
*sighs*
I'm pretty sure I know who this is.
Look. If you look at my latest reblog you'll see that Thornhill/Gates wasn't just a "useless side character". She orchestrated everything that happened during the entire season, including helping to frame your precious Xavier for the Hyde murders. She was pretty important for the storyline.
I get your frustration, but he's no longer going to be on the show and is therefore irrelevant towards any forthcoming merch (unless Funko gets generous on us, and I don't think that'll happen since they've been super stingy with the Wednesday figures so far). Just get the bag clip and be happy, since I think the only way we're getting any Xavier is via custom figures and not through official merch.

The Best Fashion Brand Logos: Expert Insights and Analysis
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a37fa12c04fc5bff3f22cd687b21a1c4/54b4f9e854b1b427-eb/s540x810/edcd92af788920f9aab86d15ff1640131b517d8a.jpg)
In the vast and ever-evolving world of Best Fashion Brand Logos play a pivotal role. They are more than just symbols; they are the visual identity that transcends mere design. From the iconic Chanel double ‘C’ to the distinctive Versace Medusa, fashion brand logos have the power to captivate, inspire, and define a brand’s legacy. In this article, we delve into the minds of experts from various fields to explore what makes a fashion logo exceptional.
Chanel – Timeless Elegance (1925 to present)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7df176cb59603c3f16a303f79eaf0d74/54b4f9e854b1b427-83/s540x810/ec85fd8103f628c477c0629060aa477f709fd59e.jpg)
Chanel’s interlocked ‘C’ initials, crafted by the visionary Coco Chanel herself, have stood the test of time. The simplicity and symmetry of this logo make it instantly recognizable, regardless of size or scale. According to Marco Molteni, creative director of Jekyll & Hyde, the Chanel logo embodies all the qualities of a remarkable logo: meaning, clarity, and strength. It’s a design every designer dreams of creating.
But what makes Chanel’s logo so enduring? David Airey, a brand identity designer and author, suggests that it’s not just about the design; it’s about the brand’s century-old heritage. The Chanel we know today could have been entirely different, yet equally iconic, because it’s intrinsically linked to a brand with a rich history.
Versace – Mosaic of Distinction (1993 to present)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1dbd9028205f067884bee6c796100bbe/54b4f9e854b1b427-3a/s540x810/8eaddb9e2a61423d9abf3c0087251b88dac6edcc.jpg)
The Versace logo, inspired by a mosaic from Gianni Versace’s childhood hometown, is undeniably distinctive. Its complexity adds to its allure, and it has been the brand’s face since 1993. This logo draws on the use of mythological figures in trademark design, creating a sense of deep-rooted history and classic appeal. The Medusa image, framed by a Greek key-style pattern, has made a bold resurgence in 2021, connecting with younger consumers and breathing new life into the logo.
Loewe – Crafting European Elegance (2014 to present)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8d0b274deb52800f715dc6e284f9db10/54b4f9e854b1b427-ab/s540x810/e6771c83dbe996b33d7437ee823eb4bc65d58981.jpg)
Loewe, founded by German Enrique Loewe Roessberg in Spain, is renowned for its leather craftsmanship. The current Loewe logo blends the brand name with the Anagram motif, inspired by Berthold Wolpe typography. The Anagram, initially based on branding irons, adds a unique touch to the logo, emphasizing the brand’s commitment to heritage and craftsmanship.
Louis Vuitton – The Power of Monogram (1854 to present)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/08f236640fd8b0c140e93c667c636cbe/54b4f9e854b1b427-a8/s540x810/dfd384eff2ad82af103d7c30a17575599b214045.jpg)
Louis Vuitton’s monogram logo has been a symbol of luxury since its introduction in 1896. This iconic design combines ‘LV’ lettering with simple motifs, creating a trademark in itself. The LV logo experienced an intriguing transformation during Marc Jacobs’ tenure as creative director when artist Stephen Sprouse added graffiti to a monogrammed bag. This fusion of high fashion and street art resonated with consumers and demonstrated the logo’s adaptability.
Supreme – The Skater’s Emblem (1994 to present)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e0ad83942103cab91fddcdbe1be31182/54b4f9e854b1b427-17/s540x810/3bdc8c0163a1b67abfb5fca3861f8d4b4f307440.jpg)
Supreme, a brand loved by skaters and fashion enthusiasts alike, has a logo inspired by artist Barbara Kruger’s distinctive style. The white block lettering against a red background is instantly recognizable. Supreme’s ‘drop model,’ where products are released in limited quantities, adds to its allure and exclusivity. Supreme constantly remixes its logo for various collaborations, keeping its brand fresh and exciting.

“Whatever you say, Thumbelina," Caleb mused, offering up a mocking salute. His grin only growing as he feigned innocent as he said, "Yes, exactly. Dil Pickle. Your name. That's what I said. Though- whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't know who Jim Hawkins is? Treasure Island? Or if reading isn't your thing, the Walt Disney Pictures masterpiece that is the movie Treasure Planet?" He blinked over at her as if to check that he had heard her right. "Okay, so not so quick background, but this dude Robert Louis Stevenson, wrote Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde if that rings a bell. He also wrote this very popular book known as Treasure Island about this rebellious kid turned pirate, Jim Hawkins. Now, Stevenson just so happened to be good friends with none other than J.M. Barrie whose the, wait for it, author of Peter Pan. Now, in Peter Pan, there happens to be this older swashbuckling pirate known by the name of James Hook and Hook is not James' actual last name. He earned the name after, well, Peter fed his hand to the crock. But, there are multiple clues throughout the novel alluding to the fact that Captain Hook is none other than a grown up version Jim Hawkins. Jim being a nickname for James and, I'm telling you all of this, to essentially explain the very clever joke I made, if I do say so myself, that I am in fact far more of a Hook than a Pan. But, if you're trying to compromise in order to get me to stop calling you Dil Pickle, Pickles, then I don't know what to tell you. You should legally change your name," He teased, moving to pretend to bite the freshly manicured finger she had waved over at him.
"Stop what?" Caleb fought back a deep laugh of his own as he watched her hide her face in embarrassment. "A hundred? Wow. That's a lot of time you spend there, picking up tennis balls. Do you just have an aversion to yellow or? And oh. Well, do you want to talk about it?" He asked curiously. His voice softening as he tilted his head over to look at her. "Just curious," He admitted, when it came to her questions in terms of the monogrammed tennis balls. "Oh I didn't, up until five seconds ago," He teased, his smile returning to his own lips at the sound of her laugh. Only to fade once more when it came to her question as to what he was now. "Oh, uh," He trailed off, running his hand across the back of his neck as he adverted his gaze. "That's another sort of long story, but technically a werewolf, I guess? And I'm sorry- did you just say gross? Have you actually ever had a pancake, because you know its literally cake, right? Just in pan form? And, I don't know, pride? I mean I take it that neither one of us are really the type to let someone call us chicken and get away with it, right? I mean think about it- we'd have amo on each other for a lifetime if that was case? And the longer we put it off, the longer we owe each other and, uh, you don't really want to be indebted to me, do you?" He pointed out with a knowing grin. The signature smirk of his returning to his lips as he took the black and pink racket from her as he twirled the handle of the racket around in his hand. "Eh. I can always get high after. Now, let's go, Selvi. Your serve."
— Time skip —
“You're just mad that you got beat by a footballer at your own game," Another deep chuckle broke from his lips as he moved to hand her racket back to her, not even sure how he had managed to beat her exactly. Sure, sports came naturally to Caleb, but he also still had a bum shoulder and with her being a pixie, luck was practically guaranteed to be on her side. But, then again, who was he to look a gift horse in the mouth? Even though he had a feeling she was likely right when it came down to the bent racket she had been playing with, not that he'd ever admit it. "Your-" His eyes widened as she tossed one of the tennis balls his way, not being able to miss the opportunity to tease her some more. "You're gifting me with one of your precious balls? Wow, Shortcake. I didn't know you to be such a giver," He teased some more. "I have no doubt that it wouldn't. It's why I'm not playing you again, but let me ask you something, Pickles? What would you have made me do, if you had won?"
“Literally anything else that’s not related to random food.” Dilan shot back with annoyance as he once more called her Dil Pickle. “Or idk here’s a new one call me Dilan, you know my actual name.” Sighing at his words she knew it was a lost cause at this point, she gave an eye roll at his words. “Who the hell is Jim Hawkins?” Dilan asked with confusion. “I mean fine you want to be Jim then you’re Jim. See I can compromise and call you by what you prefer. Unlike someone else in this area.” Gesturing around for a second before pointing at him with a freshly manicured mail as she smirked. “Stop!” Dilan sighed and put a hand to her face to hide the embarrassment. Letting her hands drop after a moment and she shrugged. “There was a hundred at some point but I’ve lost some over time.” Not thinking it was that odd considering how much she used them. “I pick them up myself usually but sometimes someone on staff will see me and come help. Usually I don’t bring this many though. Just been a rough few weeks.” Looking down at her pink tennis shoes, when she referenced what had happened recently. “Why do you ask?” Curious as to why he cared what she did with all her monogrammed balls. “When did you ever think my moral compass was good!” She asked with a laugh, that stopped when he mentioned he was no longer human. “Wait what are you now? I mean there’s only limited things you can turn into so which one?” Asking curiously, she looked up at him. “No? Why does it matter. No, they’re not it’s gross.” Shaking her head at his words to give her disapproval over pancakes. “What’s to stop both of us from vetoing forever? Shouldn’t there be a limited amount here?” Wondering aloud as she walked over to the bag where she kept her rackets and pulled out her spare. A black and pink racket with DS written on the handle of it, she tossed it to him. “Fair be it from me to stop you from getting high if you prefer that.” Gesturing for him to go back to the gate with her racket if he preferred that verses playing her. Picking up a ball she tossed it to him with a bounce. “Decision is yours.”
— Time skip —
“Fucking bullshit.” Dilan continued to mutter as she put the last ball few balls, besides the one they’d played with, into her duffel bag, she couldn’t believe she’d lost. Even though she was sure it was because the racket was bent. “Personally, I call bullshit since my racket was bent.” She whined, she was half worried about what he’d come up with. “You should play me again to make it fair.” She complained as she grabbed both her bags, knowing that he likely wouldn’t. “Here have a present to remember your one time win by.” Tossing him the ball with glare. “It’ll never happen again I can promise you that.” Huffing as she adjusted the heavy bags. “So should I even ask what you have planned for me? Or should I just get my veto ready?”

El primer zombi suelto en Hollywood
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b4d4c6448f07c3c940527e192d00e005/913aca355f2de5a0-7d/s540x810/a227bdc1098a8373e82784c388d114c22f6c1edc.jpg)
Por Gonzalo Jiménez
Los zombis, tal como los conocemos, son una creación de George A. Romero. Ese es el canon que, de alguna manera, ha imperado en Hollywood desde que Romero dirigiera en 1968 La noche de los muertos vivientes. Los zombis en Romero no guardan relación con el mito haitiano, salvo en el detalle de que son muertos reanimados; pero su origen es la radiación de un satélite que cayó del espacio.
El zombi ya posee entidad como uno de los monstruos clásicos del cine; hasta puede hablarse de un género de películas. Los muchos fanáticos de los filmes y series de TV sobre zombis ignoran cuál fue el primer gran éxito que el tema tuvo en Hollywood: un largometraje que había sido olvidado durante décadas hasta que la TV lo rescató en los años 60 y volvió a ser apreciado por una nueva generación. Esta es la historia de ese filme, White Zombie (La legión de los hombres sin alma, 1932).
Parte de la razón para que White Zombie no tuviera el estatus de otros clásicos del cine de horror como Drácula o Frankenstein (ambas de 1931) es que White Zombie es un filme independiente, financiado por un pequeño estudio de cine, Halperin Productions, que formaba parte de la llamada Poverty Row, que era como se designaba a los estudios menores que operaban independientemente en Hollywood, como Monogram, Majestic, Mascot y Puritan, entre muchos otros, que ya no existen y pocos recuerdan ya.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/df2f07bdbd0f8842f663093d2e4391f5/913aca355f2de5a0-ba/s540x810/74d54a4f7289227b0516c8c35f0df4da431c19bb.jpg)
Según indica el libro Forgotten Horrors (Midnight Marquee Press. Baltimore, 1999), de George Turner y Michael Price, la palabra “zombie” fue introducida ante grandes audiencias en Estados Unidos con el libro sobre vudú haitiano The Magic Island, de William Seabrook. El concepto luego llegó al teatro, con la obra Zombie, que produjo Kenneth Webb en Nueva York y se estrenó en febrero de 1931. Sólo se ofrecieron 21 funciones de esa pieza. Curiosamente, Webb amenazó con demandar en marzo de ese año a los productores Edward y Víctor Halperin cuando estos anunciaron que iniciarían el rodaje de una película llamada White Zombie.
La historia de los hermanos Halperin es singular. Ambos arribaron a Hollywood a comienzos de la década de 1920. Tenían formación universitaria e inclinaciones por el teatro. Juntos produjeron una docena de películas mudas para los estudios First National, United Artists y Vitagraph; casi todas melodramas. Nada presagiaba que les interesaría incursionar en el género del cine de terror.
Los hermanos tenían una obsesión: encontrar una aproximación científica a la forma de hacer cine. En pocas palabras, teorizaban sobre hallar una fórmula que garantizara en 100% el éxito de una película. Sus análisis de filmes exitosos los condujo a preguntarse por qué funcionaban en la taquilla Drácula (Universal) o Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde (Paramount). Los Halperin (Víctor siempre dirigió y Edward era el productor) concluyeron que los diálogos debían limitarse al 15% del filme y que el resto debía ser pura acción.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c3e4b003316c5d3f31224776f5daefba/913aca355f2de5a0-48/s540x810/636d94df99d72d48aa085957ad39d7b7fcbd0afc.jpg)
Esta aproximación a la trama también se reflejó en su manera de hacer cine. White Zombie se completó en apenas 11 días de rodaje. Víctor Halperin y Garnett Weston escribieron el guión, con la asesoría del sargento Faustin Wirkus, otrora administrador de la isla de La Gonave, frente a Haití. El presupuesto fue de 65.000 dólares, aportados por la empresa Amusement Securities Corp. y por el productor independiente Phil Goldstone. Y como estrellas del filme se contrataron a Madge Bellamy (actriz del cine mudo que anhelaba un regreso triunfal) y Bela Lugosi, fresco del éxito de taquilla obtenido en Drácula y Murders of the Rue Morgue. En algunos libros se indica que Bela Lugosi sólo recibió 800 dólares como pago por White Zombie (en el libro Forgotten Horrors se indica que fueron 500 dólares por una semana de trabajo), pero cuesta creer que, si bien era una producción independiente, el actor húngaro se tranzara por esa cifra. Madge Bellamy, por ejemplo, comentó que le pagaron 5.000 dólares por su papel, que es estrictamente secundario frente al de Lugosi.
Lo cierto es que White Zombie en absoluto luce como una película barata. Sin duda, los diálogos y ciertos aspectos de la trama han envejecido mal. Pero todavía sorprende la dirección de fotografía de Arthur Martinelli (de lejos, lo mejor de la película). El filme se rodó en los escenarios de los estudios Universal, por lo que los hermanos Halperin le sacaron provecho a los decorados de primer nivel de la empresa; el director de arte fue Ralph Berger, quien comisionó a la empresa Howard Anderson Co. para hacer los efectos especiales y los trucos de cámara, que simulaban escenarios inmensos. Por ejemplo, el interior del castillo de Murder Legendre (Lugosi) fue usado en Drácula y en El jorobado de Nuestra Señora de París.
Jack Pierce, creador del legendario maquillaje de la criatura de Frankenstein, hizo el maquillaje de los zombis en la película, así como del personaje de Bela Lugosi, Murder Legendre. Lugosi creó con Legendre uno de sus villanos más memorables. No sólo era una cuestión de maquillaje; ayudó también los acercamientos que la cámara hacía de su rostro. Legendre crea zombis a través de la magia negra para valerse de mano de obra que trabaje sin parar en su molino de caña. Pero los zombis a los que hace alusión el título del filme son seis hombres blancos, que fueron enemigos de Legendre y éste los transformó en muertos vivientes: Latour, el brujo antiguo mentor de Legendre; Von Gelder, un terrateniente adinerado; Víctor Trischer, ministro del Interior; Scarpia, oficial del ejército; Marquis, capitán de la policía; y Chauvin, el verdugo de la isla.
White Zombie, pese a sus limitaciones, probó ser un éxito en la taquilla y eventualmente, con el paso del tiempo, encontró defensores en los espacios menos esperados, como en el del músico (y ahora cineasta) Rob Zombie, quien bautizó a su primera banda con el título del filme. En YouTube es posible ver la película completa. Una curiosidad, para quienes son fanáticos del género de horror.

Quote
Hairdresser Malcolm Edwards is setting Styles’s hair in a Victory roll with silver clips, and until it is combed out he resembles Kathryn Grayson with stubble. His fingers are freighted with rings, and “he has a new army of mini purses,” says Lambert, gesturing to an accessory table heaving with examples including a mini sky-blue Gucci Diana bag discreetly monogrammed HS. Michele has also made Styles a dress for the shoot that Tissot might have liked to paint—acres of ice-blue ruffles, black Valenciennes lace, and suivez-moi, jeune homme ribbons. Erelong, Styles is gamely racing up a hill in it, dodging sheep scat, thistles, and shards of chalk, and striking a pose for Mitchell that manages to make ruffles a compelling new masculine proposition, just as Mr. Fish’s frothy white cotton dress—equal parts Romantic poet and Greek presidential guard—did for Mick Jagger when he wore it for The Rolling Stones’ free performance in Hyde Park in 1969, or as the suburban-mom floral housedress did for Kurt Cobain as he defined the iconoclastic grunge aesthetic. Styles is mischievously singing ABBA’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” to himself when Mitchell calls him outside to jump up and down on a trampoline in a Comme des Garçons buttoned wool kilt. “How did it look?” asks his sister when he comes in from the cold. “Divine,” says her brother in playful Lambert-speak. As the wide sky is washed in pink, orange, and gray, like a Turner sunset, and Mitchell calls it a successful day, Styles is playing “Cherry” from Fine Line on his Fender acoustic on the hilltop. “He does his own stunts,” says his sister, laughing. The impromptu set is greeted with applause. “Thank you, Antwerp!” says Styles playfully, bowing to the crowd. “Thank you, fashion!”

Designer Dog Leashes for Every Dog Type
#Poop4U
Designer dog leashes have come a long way in the last few seasons.
Once upon a time you’d google “designer dog leashes” and your results would be an assault of diamonte covered hot-pink atrocities. But now there are so many fashion forward brands that understand you and your dog need quality, functionality AND style in a lead.
Here are our top picks of this season…Happy walking!
New Season: Designer Dog Leashes
From Top:
Leather Dog Lead – Natural by Fetch & Follow (Title Image) – One for rough and tumble pups who also like the finer things! This lead starts out a very pale tan with pink undertones, eventually developing into a rich tan colour with use. A classic design is built to last; each piece is individual in its handle & grain detail, and finished with strong brass fittings.
Dog Leash Hyde Park Cognac by Cloud 7 – Handcrafted, high quality braided leather with genuine brass fittings. Due to the integrated intermediate rings, the leash can be adjusted to three different lengths and can be comfortably worn over shoulder and hip during a walk. Perfect for city living and travel.
Wandering Ways Leather Leash by Nice Digs – Iconic hand painted Nice Digs design, vegetable tanned leather finished with gold hardware. Perfect for small and large pups.
Bella Lead by Molly Barker – Hot off the press, the Bella lead is handmade with white leather and finished with signature gold hardware. A timeless lead that will last the years.
Daphne Harness & Leash by Max Bone – One for the sporty dogs! This cute combo is made of sturdy nylon and perfect for outdoor adventures.
Onyx Marine Rope Dog Leash by The Foggy Dog – There’s a reason why this designer leash is a best seller. The beautiful black marine rope is super strong yet soft and comes with luxe brass hardware. You can also grab this leash in 6 other colours. To be super styling, grab a coordinating waste bag holder from The Foggy Dog’s signature Rifle Paper Co. collection.
Sasha Lead by Molly Barker – One for the dogs that pull! Made of durable but soft Italian leather this lead is a game changer – the stitching is designed to fit snugly into your hand and not cut into it like others. Available in 4 classic colours we highly recommend getting that matching waste bag holder: It has a sleek design allowing it to snuggle on top of the lead – no more annoying swinging as you walk. (It also fits a house key inside!)
The City Leash Fur by Saint Rue – This designer leash is the perfect choice for urban pups. Durable, strong (for all sizes of dog!) and sewn individually; these handcrafted leashes are designed to be shorter in length than an average leash, perfect for those walks down crowded streets. Oh and they’re 100% vegan making them an ideal alternative for leather leashes. And they haven’t forgotten about you – the handle also features long-pile faux fur shearling, which keeps your hands cozy and coddled at all times during your walk.
Primrose Thick Dog Leash by The Daily Edited – The darling of personalised luxury goods, tde. have made this designer dog leash all about big dogs. This larger lead is made of 100% smooth nappa leather and features The Daily Edited’s signature custom gold monogram personalisation.
Classic Navy Leather Lead by Mister Woof – Made of exceptionally durable 100% Saffiano Leather and treated with a unique water proof coating, these leads are perfect for avid walkers. It’s made to last and look amazing while doing it! A departure from the normal black and tan, the navy is a great bespoke option for dogs wanting something timeless but a bit different at the same time (it also comes in Royal Green!)
The City Leash Padded by Saint Rue – The beautiful sister of The City Leash Fur (see #8), this designer lead features all of the same luxurious design; PLUS deluxe neoprene padding in the handle, which keeps your hands smooth, comfortable and secure at all times. Our top tip is to pair it with their bespoke detachable and adjustable City Strap (that can turn any of your bags into a fashionable cross or shoulder bag) for twinning goodness.
