Miss Moustache Review & Giveaway!

Miss Moustache is a wonderful kitty boutique that is original and stylish. Miss Moustache sells a wide variety of cat collars and harnesses in various patterns and vibrant colours to match every cat’s personality. Many of the collars and harnesses in this store can be customized by adding a special charm of your choice or to fit kittens or ‘Big Cats’. When fashion is something that is on your cat’s mind, Miss Moustache is the place to shop!

The Orange Dots Adjustable Cat Collar

Most of Miss Moustache’s collars are decorated with a hanging charm (style varies upon choice of collar design). Every collar is fully adjustable and is available for adult cats (neck size: 7" to 11") and kittens if needed. All their collars have a breakaway safety buckle to prevent choking of your beloved pet.

The Polkadots Adjustable Harness

All of Miss Moustache’s harnesses are fully adjustable and are available for adult cats (neck size: 7" to 11" - body size: 12'' to 18"). Kitten and "Big Cat" sizes are also available.

Here are some other little facts about Miss Moustache:
“I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with my 2 cats (Bali & Shanghai), as well as my boyfriend (who helps as much as he can…). I work full-time, study part-time and starting making cat collars as a way to relax. I am a French Canadian and I wanted my shop to reference to both my native tongue and cats. Moustache means whiskers in French and that’s how the name popped out of my head! I’m a proud member of Etsy for Animals (EFA) and 10% of all my sales will be donated to the Toronto Humane Society (http://www.torontohumanesociety.com/). I also have a Facebook group where I post updates (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?GID=23303047207). I’m planning to start a newsletter as soon as possible (people can email me to be added and we will send them the 1st edition as soon as we launch it – missmoustache AT live.ca. Miss Moustache also has a blog that you can check out: http://www.missmoustachecollars.blogspot.com/. Miss Moustache will be launching a holiday collection at some point after Halloween (one holiday at a time!). I’m pretty new to Etsy (only joined in June 2008) but we’ve already had over 30 sales!”

Review
When I received the package with my collar and harness from Miss Moustache, I was very impressed. First, the packaging that each item was packaged in was very professional with her logo and information on each package. When I opened up the collar, I found that she had written a cute little ‘Thank you’ message on the inside of the cardboard part of the packaging that contained the logo. I really like when companies take the extra time to do little things like this because it really shows how much they value their customers.

Now I will talk a bit about the collar and the harness. First of all, both are absolutely beautiful and remind me of something that you could find in a high-end pet boutique. For both the collar and harness, I think Miss Moustache did an excellent job of choosing fabric/ribbons that match each other. I like that both are combined of 2 different ribbons which makes them quite a bit stronger than those you would find in your local pet store. I thought the quality of work that went into this was quite good and it shows that Miss Moustache takes pride their work.

Now I will list some specific features of the collar and harness that I really liked. One feature I really liked about both the harness and the collar was the breakaway safety buckle. I tested this out and it really does work great! The buckle is strong enough to stay on if your cat tries to take it off but has enough give to let go if they are caught in something. It gives me piece of mind knowing that my cats will not get hurt when they are left alone at home. Secondly, I love that both the collar and the harness are adjustable and each can fit a very small cat or a larger cat. Lastly, my absolute favorite part of the harness was the cute little charm that came on it. Mine had a little paw print on one side and the other side said, “Good Kitty” and had a little gem that looked like a diamond. Overall, I was extremely happy with the items that I received and I think Miss Moustache is an excellent place to look for unique and stylish pet accessories!
