In March 2023, DOG SUITE opened its doors — a dog salon built on the concept of a suite room for dogs and the people who love them (operated by Woody Pocket Co., Ltd.). The custom uniform, tailored to convey cleanliness and sincerity, takes the shop interior's blue as its key color, with a same-tone gradation for a fresh, airy finish.
At first glance it looks like delicate fashion apparel — but packed inside are fine-grained solutions to the salon's daily challenges.
The fabric was carefully selected: tough, highly absorbent, and quick-drying, resistant to dog hair and fast to dry if it gets wet. Flat component design prevents buttons from snagging — or being swallowed — when holding a dog. Half-length sleeves eliminate the need to roll up sleeves to keep cuffs dry. Every detail is calculated around a groomer's movements.
For the bottoms, we coordinated tapered pants in pale gray — the shade that shows this beautiful blue at its best. The silhouette stays clean, yet superior stretch flexes with the crouching and standing that define salon work, uniting sharp looks with genuine comfort.
With an originality that sharpens the salon's identity and a comfort that lets staff focus fully on their work, we were honored to celebrate the salon's new beginning.

I start by listening closely to each client and visiting the places where their teams actually work. Valuing the real voices I hear there and the character of each company, we think together about uniforms that do more than look stylish: uniforms that genuinely raise the value of the company. Drawing on my experience across resort hotels, retail, cosmetics and many other industries, I propose designs that stay close to each client's needs.
