About Shantell Design
About the Designer Behind Shantell Design
The Shantell Design journey began in 2017, and I am truly grateful to see it continue to grow and evolve every single day.
Animals have held a special place in my heart since childhood. My love for Diego, my loyal Chigi, now 11 years old, inspired me to create my very first dog garments... using crochet! Before long, fabrics, ribbons, tulles, lace, and countless other materials found their way into my studio, giving life to a world where fashion meets a deep love for animals.
Every piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted with the goal of creating unique, comfortable, and elegant garments that allow each companion to express their own personality.
Over the years, my creations have traveled around the world through social media and have been worn by many well-known canine ambassadors. Seeing my designs bring smiles to so many people is an incredible privilege. My dream? To one day showcase my collections on the world's most prestigious runways. Paris, Milan, New York... save me a spot—I'm on my way! ✨
Below, you'll find a selection of articles and publications featuring my journey. I am honored that so many beloved icons of the canine fashion world have chosen to wear my creations and share them with their communities.
The Shantell universe continues to grow. Alongside my pet collections, I am gradually introducing handmade designs for babies and young children (Baby Shantell), as well as women's fashion collections under Shantell Rebella and Shantell Festival.
Be sure to visit again soon—new collections and creations are added regularly.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your interest, your trust, and for being part of this wonderful journey.
