The concept of Barney’s Bling started in 2007 when Bridget Livingston met Barney, a Yorkie in Chicago. As Barney’s fur mommy, she gave Barney doggie accessories, but found that they were falling apart easily. She searched every pet store to find something that Barney deserved, but wasn’t able to find anything. Bridget, therefore decided to start her own line. That was when Barney’s Bling was born.
The philosophy behind the Santa Monica-based operation is that pets “make a paw print in [their human's] heart” thereby connecting pet and human in a sophisticated manner. The collection includes:
