With the launch of its new Mother City Collection, Chommies celebrates the carefree, joyful, and grounded spirit embodied by Cape Town dogs.

Chommies began as a passion project in Cape Town and has fast become a cult favourite among the design-conscious dog crowd – and it’s not difficult to see why. The brand is all about celebrating the profound bond between humans and dogs through considered accessories that merge craftsmanship with style.
The new Mother City Collection marks the next step in the brand’s evolution – more than a stylish range of dog accessories, it’s a call to envision a city where dogs are not afterthoughts, but part of the plan. The handmade leather collection includes vegetable-tanned collars, leashes, harnesses, and accessories in four inspired colourways. Each piece features South African leather tanned with wattle (not chemicals), solid brass hardware, and Chommies’ signature black-and-white flat rope, which is detachable for easy washing.
Bloublommetjie
For dogs equal parts elegance and chaos — the ones who nap like royalty but dive headfirst into the nearest mud puddle.
Kumquat
Spicy, zesty, and impossible to ignore. Kind of like that one dog at the park who owns every moment.
Apricot
Warm, affable, and playfully flirtatious. Apricot charms with just the right edge of mischief.
