CosmoPaw

Couture for dogs and cats

What is CosmoPaw?

CosmoPaw creates limited edition couture clothing, decorative jewellery and bespoke pieces for dogs and cats. Each design is thoughtfully conceived with careful attention to natural textiles, craftsmanship and the comfort. The size of each edition is determined by the materials available.

Materials, Craftsmanship & Authenticity

Where are CosmoPaw products made?

CosmoPaw pieces are made in a small atelier in Belgrade, Serbia.

Are CosmoPaw products handcrafted?

Yes. Each design begins with a pattern drawn by hand, and the cloth is cut with shears. Traditional craft is combined with carefully chosen machine work, and every detail is finished by hand.

Which materials does CosmoPaw use?

Depending on the design: Italian and British wool, cashmere, Italian and Indian silk, linen, cotton, and raw blends of silk and linen. Most garments are lined in silk. Metal elements may be 316L surgical steel, sterling silver, brass, or steel with 18 or 24 carat PVD gold plating.

What are deadstock and archival materials?

These are exceptional fabrics and components from limited or earlier production runs, many of which no longer exist in the same way. Some were originally produced for respected heritage houses.

How can I be sure your product and materials are authentic?

Buy directly from the official CosmoPaw website. Every product page states the composition, the origin of the materials and the size of the edition, and certificates for certain materials are published on the site, including REACH documentation and an attestation for 925 sterling silver.

Why do handmade pieces differ slightly?

Handwork, natural materials and traditionally woven cloth all leave subtle differences. These are not flaws but part of each piece's character.

What distinguishes CosmoPaw clothing from mass-produced pieces?

CosmoPaw designs are produced in small editions, with patterns drawn by hand, cloth cut with shears and details finished by hand alongside carefully selected machine work. Silk linings, archival fabrics and the Zero Scratch principle inform the construction of individual pieces.

Pieces and availability

How do I find the right piece?

Our current pieces are in the online shop. Each product page sets out photographs, a description, materials, dimensions, the price and the edition.

How can I tell whether a piece is still available?

Everything available is shown in the shop together with current editions. As CosmoPaw works in very small numbers, some pieces exist only once, others in a handful.

What does “Edition 4 of 4” mean?

The second figure is the size of the edition; the first shows how many pieces remain. “Edition 4 of 4” means all four are still available, and the first figure falls with each purchase. “1 of 1” denotes a unique piece.

Will a sold-out piece return?

No. Each edition is sized by the material available, and once that material is used, the edition is archived for good.

Can the photographs differ from the piece itself?

Our photographs are faithful but illustrative, so slight variations in colour, texture or detail are possible. Natural, hand-woven and archival materials may also show subtle irregularities, which form part of their character.

Sizing & Fit

How do I choose the right size for my dog or cat?

For garments, measure the neck, the chest and the length of the back, from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. For jewellery, the neck alone is enough. Compare the measurements with the table on the product page and with our Size Guide.

Does CosmoPaw create clothing for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes?

Yes. CosmoPaw accepts made-to-measure commissions for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Each piece is created according to the individual measurements and proportions of the dog, with careful attention to fit, comfort and freedom of movement.

How can I tell whether a particular design is suitable for my companion?

In addition to size, consider the cut of the piece and your companion’s proportions and movement. Consult the product details and Size Guide. If you are uncertain, send the name of the piece and your companion’s measurements to concierge@cosmo-paw.com before ordering.

Can cats wear CosmoPaw garments?

Yes, provided the size is right. Compare your companion's measurements with the table on the product page.

What if my companion falls between two sizes?

Write to the atelier at concierge@cosmo-paw.com before ordering, with approximate measurements and the name of the piece, and we will be glad to help you choose.

Can I order a made-to-measure item?

Yes. The atelier welcomes enquiries for special pieces and garments made to measure. Through the bespoke form, tell us about your companion, their approximate measurements, the piece you have in mind, the occasion and an indicative budget.

How long will it take to receive a reply about a bespoke piece?

Usually within five working days. More involved requests may call for further time and consultation.

How do the bow ties adjust?

Bow ties are made in set sizes, each with a 5 cm extender chain for a precise fit at the neck.

Comfort & Care

Are CosmoPaw pieces comfortable for my companion to wear for longer?

Comfort underpins every design. Everything that touches the skin is chosen with care, in keeping with our “Zero Scratch” principle.

What is the “Zero Scratch” principle?

It is one rule that guides everything we do. Every element that touches the skin is crafted from natural fibers, most often with silk lining or a double layer of the same fabric, and with nearly invisible seams, no synthetic fibers. We have eliminated anything that could cause irritation — no rigid labels, no plastic clasps and no nylon webbing.

Is the hardware gentle against the skin?

We use 316L surgical steel, sterling silver, brass and PVD finishes, depending on the design. 316L surgical steel was chosen for its stability, its resistance and its comfort against the skin.

How should I care for CosmoPaw garments?

Dry clean only, at a cleaner experienced with silk and wool. Remove hair with a soft clothes brush or a lint roller. Care instructions for each material appear on the product page and on the card enclosed with the piece. For further advice, write to concierge@cosmo-paw.com.

Can garments be machine washed?

No. Water and detergent can mark silk and alter the shape and structure of the piece.

Are all pieces water-resistant?

Textile pieces should not be assumed to be water-resistant. Certain metal elements were chosen for their resistance to water, but care always depends on the piece as a whole and the materials it combines.

Jewellery — wear and safety

Can a lead be attached to CosmoPaw jewellery?

No. Our necklaces are decorative and are not designed to take a lead. For walks, your companion will need an ordinary collar or harness.

May my companion wear jewellery when left alone?

We advise against it. Dogs and cats play, climb and explore, and none of them can tell you when something has caught. Our jewellery is to be worn only while you are with them.

Is CosmoPaw jewellery suitable for cats?

Yes, for cats of a suitable size. Each product page gives the chain length; compare it with your companion's neck measurement and consult the Size Guide. Longer chains are best suited to dogs and larger cats.

What is 24k PVD gold plating?

PVD (physical vapour deposition) bonds a thin, hard layer of gold to the steel beneath. It wears considerably better than conventional plating, which makes it well suited to a piece worn by an animal in motion.

What is CosmoPaw jewellery designed for?

CosmoPaw necklaces are decorative pieces, not collars for attaching a lead. They should be worn only under supervision and removed before bathing, swimming or energetic play. Materials and dimensions are specified on each product page.

Is vintage crystal delicate?

Vintage crystal calls for careful handling and should never get wet. Slight irregularities in the cut or finish belong to its age and are not considered flaws. Store each piece in the silk pouch provided, apart from other jewellery and away from moisture and direct light.

How should I clean CosmoPaw jewellery?

Clean the crystal with a soft, dry cloth only. The chain may be washed in lukewarm water with a mild soap when needed, keeping the crystal dry, then dried thoroughly with a soft cloth. Never use chemical jewellery cleaners.

Matching Editions & Bespoke Commissions

What are CosmoPaw Matching Editions?

They are related pieces for a dog or cat companion and owner, cut from the same roll of fabric. For example, a companion's bow tie and an owner's pocket square may be made from the same Italian silk.

Which Matching Edition combinations are available?

Possible combinations for pets and owners include a pocket square and bow tie, a scarf and bow tie, or a set comprising a pocket square, scarf, and bow tie. The final composition depends on the amount of fabric available.

Are Matching Editions gender-neutral?

Yes. Every matching edition is designed to be gender-neutral.

Does CosmoPaw offer bespoke and made to measure clothing for dogs?

Yes. The collection includes limited edition garments, and bespoke enquiries are welcomed for individual measurements and special occasions. Availability depends on the design and materials.

How does a bespoke and made to measure commission begin?

Send an enquiry through the bespoke form, telling us about your companion, the piece you would like, approximate measurements, the occasion and an indicative budget. The atelier will reply with further questions and a proposal for the next steps.

Can I request a particular fabric or colour for a bespoke commission?

You may include your preferred fabric or colour in your enquiry. Each request is considered individually, and the final selection depends on the design, suitability and availability of materials.

How is a bespoke order paid for?

By bank transfer against a pro forma invoice, or by international bank transfer from abroad. We email the invoice with our IBAN and the bank's SWIFT (BIC) code.

Ordering & Payment

Do I need an account to order?

No. Orders are placed through the bag and checkout, where you enter the details we need to process and deliver your order.

Can I change or cancel an order after payment?

If you need to request a change or cancellation, contact office@cosmo-paw.com as soon as possible, quoting your order number. Whether an order can be amended before dispatch depends on its processing status. Your statutory withdrawal rights remain as described in our Returns and Withdrawal policy.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Payment is by card. Bespoke orders are paid by bank transfer against a pro forma invoice, or by international bank transfer from abroad, to the IBAN shown on the invoice. Cash on delivery is not available.

Which cards do you accept?

Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express and DinaCard.

Is card payment secure?

Yes. When you enter your card details, confidential information is transmitted over the public network in protected encrypted form, using the SSL protocol and PKI system. Data security is guaranteed by the card processor, Banca Intesa ad Beograd, and the entire payment takes place on the bank's own pages. Your card details are never available to CosmoPaw.

In which currency will I be charged?

All payments are made in Serbian dinars (RSD). Prices in other currencies are shown for information only, at the National Bank of Serbia's middle rate. If your card is denominated in another currency, the amount is converted at the card scheme's exchange rate, which is not known to us at the time of the transaction, so the amount charged may differ slightly from the price shown on the site.

How does payment against a pro forma invoice work?

We email you a pro forma invoice with everything needed for payment. This method is reserved for bespoke orders; for payments from abroad, the invoice includes our IBAN and the bank's SWIFT (BIC) code.

Delivery, Duties & Taxes

How much is delivery within Serbia?

Delivery within the Republic of Serbia is free on every order.

How long does delivery within Serbia take?

One to five working days. Orders are delivered by D Express, BEX or Post Express to the address given at checkout.

Yes. International orders are sent by UPS Express Saver.

Can I enquire about delivery to a country not available at checkout?

How long does international delivery take?

Usually two to five working days, depending on the destination and on transport conditions.

How much is international delivery?

The cost depends on the destination and is shown before you confirm your order. Delivery is free on orders over €500 or $540.

No. All international shipments are dispatched under DAP (Delivered at Place) terms. Product prices shown on the website do not include local import duties, customs fees, or taxes applicable in the destination country. These charges are determined by local customs authorities, depend on the country of import, and are the responsibility of the recipient—typically collected directly by UPS prior to or upon delivery.

How will my order arrive?

Every CosmoPaw piece arrives in our signature box, with a card of authenticity and care.

Does CosmoPaw offer gift packaging?

Every piece arrives in CosmoPaw’s signature packaging, accompanied by authenticity and care information. For a special gifting request, please contact concierge@cosmo-paw.com before ordering so we can confirm what is possible.

Can I change the delivery address after ordering?

Please write to concierge@cosmo-paw.com or office@cosmo-paw.com straight away. The address can be changed only until the order has been handed to the courier.

What should I do upon receiving my package?

You (or any third party designated by you) are responsible for inspecting your order upon delivery. If the package or its contents arrive with any visible transit damage or discrepancies, please note the issue directly on the carrier's delivery document in as much detail as possible and notify our team immediately at order@cosmo-paw.com.

How are orders shipped?

All shipments are handled securely with professional courier services, ensuring reliable delivery to your address. Tracking details are provided via email as soon as your piece leaves the atelier.

Returns, Refunds & Complaints

Can I withdraw from my purchase?

Yes. For distance purchases, you have the right to withdraw within 14 days of receiving the goods, without giving any reason.

How do I request a return?

Send a clear statement of withdrawal, or the completed withdrawal form, to order@cosmo-paw.com before the 14 days have elapsed. The form can be found on our Returns and Withdrawal page.

How long do I have to send the piece back?

Please return it without delay, and no later than 14 days after sending your statement of withdrawal.

In what condition must the piece be returned?

Unworn, undamaged and in its original box, with all labels attached and no sign of having been opened.

Who pays for return delivery?

The direct cost of returning the piece is borne by the customer.

Can I return a personalised or made-to-measure piece?

No. The right of withdrawal does not apply to pieces made to the customer's specifications or clearly personalised.

How will I be refunded?

The Merchant is obliged, without delay and no later than 14 days from the date of receipt of the withdrawal statement, to refund all payments received from the Buyer (except for additional costs if the Buyer expressly requested a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery method) (Article 35 of the Consumer Protection Act).

The Merchant may postpone the refund until the returned goods have been received or until the Buyer provides proof that the goods have been sent, whichever occurs first.

The refund shall be made using the same payment method used by the Buyer, unless the Buyer expressly agrees to another method.

Due to the limited, archival nature of our materials and bespoke tailoring for dogs and cats, returns and exchanges are handled on an individual basis. Please inspect your piece upon arrival and contact our concierge within the specified timeframe if any adjustments or assistance are required.

How do I submit a complaint or report an issue?

Send your complaint to order@cosmo-paw.com, with your order number, a description of the issue and proof of purchase. We will reply within 8 days, and complaints are resolved within 15 days of submission. We are liable for any non-conformity of the goods for two years from delivery.
