The House of Susana Rodrigues Couture​

​

A Legacy of Style: From Luanda to Lisbon to Dubai

The journey of Cão Estilo Couture began in 2017 in Luanda, Angola. Inspired by the vibrant soul of African prints and the unique needs of our muse, Nina, I set out to redefine what canine fashion could be. What started as a self-taught passion on a single sewing machine has evolved into an award-winning pursuit of perfection.

2019: An Award-Winning Milestone

Upon arriving in the thriving fashion hub of Dubai, our vision found its voice. In 2019, the Susan, Sugar & Honey collection—a tribute to royal heritage and high-quality plaid—was awarded Best Fashion Designer for Pets at Dubai Pet Fest. This moment solidified our place among the city’s most discerning "doggistas" and set the standard for everything we create today.

​

Conscious Craftsmanship

Luxury today is defined by responsibility. We are committed to a "Slow Fashion" philosophy, selecting only the finest environmentally friendly textiles. Our current collections feature organic cotton sateen and OEKO-TEX® certified inks. These materials aren't just kinder to our planet; they offer a tactile, premium quality that store-bought items simply cannot match.

The Master’s Touch: A One-Woman Atelier

Every piece is a work of art, meticulously crafted from scratch in my private Dubai-based atelier. Using a blend of precision machine work and delicate hand-stitching, I ensure that every finish is flawless. Because I am a "one-woman show," our pieces are produced in strictly limited runs. When you choose a Susana Rodrigues original, your companion becomes one of only a few worldwide to own that design.

​

A New Chapter: Human & Canine Harmony

After a period of recovery and reflection following a necessary health journey in 2021, I have returned to the atelier with a renewed vision. We are no longer just designing for the dog; we are designing for the family.

Our latest chapter introduces coordinated human and canine couture, bridging the gap between your wardrobe and your companion's. From the streets of Lisbon to the heart of Dubaiwe invite you to experience a lifestyle where every stitch celebrates the harmony of family and the soul of handcrafted style.
