Free People’s usual line of bohemian-chic fashion has branched off into the pet world with its ‘Pet Project’ collection featuring eco-friendly pet accessories. Collaborating with Philadelphia’s largest animal shelter ‘Paws,’ the eco-friendly line of pet accessories and beds makes for a perfect addition to any furry critter's collection.
Practicing what they preach, all the pet models featured in the lookbook are rescued and adopted animals who have been selected to showcase its accessories. Using leather and Aztec themes on their collars and patchwork on their beds, Free People still stays in line with its hippie-chic fashion line. Further, all of the profits made from the vintage flag bed, which is made from recycled material, are being donated to the animal shelter.
Mixing practical-chic with eco-friendliness, the Pet Project collection is a line that any pet lover could get behind.
