About Chi WOW WOW
Chi WOW WOW started out designing and creating "one-of-a-kind" tees, jackets, sweaters and carriers, out of vintage and recycled clothing. In addition to the exclusive Vintage Collection,
Chi WOW WOW creates streetwear with custom graphics that have an edgy vibe. In 2006, the IZZY GALORE Collection, featuring groovy bell bottoms, was created for hip girl dogs. All products are100% made in the U.S.A., machine washable and are owner and dog tested for comfort and durability.
Innovation & personality
Our streetwear is unique because we get pleasure in making the next new thing! After all, Chi WOW WOW is the original designer of vintage streetwear for the metrosexual canine. Read the story about ELVIS and his CAPTAIN AMERICA Vintage Tee.
All apparel and accessories are made with vintage and recycled clothing...worn-in, soft and lots of attitude to boot. The best thing of all is that Chi WOW WOW will donate 10% of profits to The ELVIS Fund which helps find homes for animals, like Elvis, a rescue at age 8.
The benefits to you and your dog
Putting your dog in Chi WOW WOW apparel is more than hip...it also keeps your dog warm. Certain breeds and older dogs shiver a lot and they like warm things like sunny spots or sleeping under blankets. The tendency to shiver is not commonly a health issue but takes place when your dog is cold, excited or stressed. For instance, toy breeds have a higher metabolism and so dissipate body heat faster than large dogs. Shivering helps to generate body heat – that’s why people shiver when they are cold!
The Team behind "THE" chihuahua
ELVIS - Chairman & Founder
At age 8, ELVIS put his wanderlust to rest and became the inspiration and icon behind Chi WOW WOW vintage pet apparel. He leads a busy life overseeing his company and fashioning hip clothing for dogs. When not making high-powered decisions, ELVIS enjoys blogging, sleeping, schmoozing and sleeping some more.
Carolyn - Chief Visionary Officer & Founder
Carolyn brings years of sales, marketing and advertising, with absolutely no knowledge of the fashion industry to Chi WOW WOW. She just has a wild imagination and is crazy enough to try about anything. She obsesses about branding and does most of the off-beat design development.
Diane Chief - Organizational Officer & Director of Sanity Management
With a background in architecture and a successful career in development and construction management, Diane's expertise is transforming chaos into a working plan. Her main function is sorting out, making sense of and refining the crazy ideas that are to be implemented.
Dad - Hard Materials Prototype Engineer
Retired from commercial real estate, Dad spends as much time as possible fishing, collecting jazz and wood working. He handles field research and assignments that include scouring thrift, skateboard and surf shops. He produces hard material prototypes from wacky ideas, with never a query why.
IZZY -Quality Assurance Manager (a.k.a. Chief Destruction Engineer)
IZZY spends most of her waking moments creating nothing and destroying much. Her responsibilities include quality control but that's just a title we gave to her to make her feel important. She, as quickly as possible, will be reassigned to "Special Projects."
