Description
You have hired a photographer for an hour in a park, there is a colour palette, and somebody has already said the word neutrals out loud. Engagement shoots, autumn weddings and the family portrait that ends up above the fireplace all share the same rule: nothing in the frame should shout. Mocha Flower is the bow tie that obeys it. Warm coffee tones with a small floral print, which photographs as texture rather than as a pattern competing with everyone's outfit.
That is the actual case for a neutral. A bright print draws the eye straight to the dog's throat and away from faces. A soft coffee floral lets the dog be in the photo without becoming the subject of it, and it sits comfortably beside cream, sage, tan and rust, which covers most of what anyone wears to be photographed outdoors.
Classic size
- Classic cut, 10cm x 7cm
- The Sailor cut elsewhere in the range measures 13cm x 11cm for a larger dog or a bolder look
Classic is the discreet option, and discretion is the point here. On a small or medium dog it reads as a finishing touch rather than an outfit.
It wraps around the collar with velcro
This bow tie does not slide onto a collar. It wraps around the collar or a harness strap and fastens with velcro on the reverse. Nothing to unbuckle, nothing to thread, and no compatibility to check: it fits whatever collar or harness your dog already wears, at any width. On a shoot that means you can put it on between setups and take it off the moment the dog needs to run about, without ever removing their collar.

One caveat
A bow tie is a styling accessory, not something to leave on an unsupervised dog. Pale neutrals and a muddy park are also not a long term friendship. Put it on for the photos and take it off afterwards, which the velcro makes the work of a second or two.
Mocha Flower runs across the wider range, so a collar in the same print or a matching harness will pull the whole look together, and a treat pouch is what buys you the dog's attention for the length of a shoot.
