For the Doggie Diva in Your Life!

What does every well dressed petite dog need?  A MIO Bags Paw-tuxet Diva Dog Set of course!


The set begins with the Matunuck Reversible Tote that is the perfect size to double as a puppy purse!  It is 7.5" tall x 12" along the bottom x 6" wide.  There is a snap closure and a leash attachment so you can safely travel with your furry friend.

The 3 Season Jacket is perfect to keep your little friend warm and dry.  It is made from oilcloth and lined with microfleece.  There is a harness attachment and has adjustable velcro closure at the neck and chest.
The coordinating leash is made from nylon webbing and oilcloth.  It has a nickel swivel clip and a ring at the handle to hook your keys while you stroll about town.  There is also a small travel foldaway dish when your sidekick needs a drink or a snack.

What more could you and your best friend ask for?!

A Slicker for your Diva

I wasn't too sure about getting into the dog coat business.  I was after all creating designer purses and totes.  I have successfully made the first prototype for a little Jack Russell terrier named Honey from Wakefield, RI.  It is oilcloth lined with microfleece that velcros at the chest and belly and has a harnass for a leash attachment.  From the a rousing response this little coat has gotten, I see what everyone was so excited about.


I have made the "Matunuck", the small tote, into a small dog carrier before by putting a little leash inside to keep our little diva inside the bag!  I guess a dog coat is a natural progression!

How adorable would your little "Honey" be in a matching MIO Bags Jacket and dog carrier!

Dreaming of Sand, Sun and Surf.....

As I sit here on yet another snowy Rhode Island morning, Groundhog Day no less, I can only dream of the sun and the surf.  The beach seems so far away, but knowing the warm weather will come is what keeps the hardy souls of the Ocean State going!  Spring Break really isn't too far away - let's think about beach bags!


The Narragansett is a great bag for a day at the beach!  At 26" across at the top, 8" wide and 18" tall, it is a very roomy bag with enough pockets to keep your things organized.  There is also a secret little pouch inside one of the pockets to hide your cash and cards while you take a dip in the water!  The Narragansett Beach Bag has a Velcro closure.  It has extra long straps for comfort and, new for 2011, the MIO Bag hideaway crossbody strap.

The beach is calling....perhaps a new bag is in order...design one today at www.mamaios.com!
