There’s nothing worse than walking down the street in the rain, only to have your umbrella take a turn for the worst. While it won’t solve your sopping wet problem, next time your umbrella turns inside out and snaps; you can do your environmentally good deed for the day by donating your umbrella to Taryn Zychal. The eco-friendly designer saves raingear from its destiny at the umbrella graveyard, and recycles it; transforming it into trendy dog raincoats. Your umbrella may have failed you, but it will certainly do a big favor for your beloved furry friend!
Through her Etsy store Recycling Zychal, eco-designer Taryn Zychal sells these trendy upcycled dog raincoats. With each recycled pet raincoat made by hand from broken umbrellas, she offers eco-friendly pet fashion that is sure to please even the most discerning pooch since no two coats are alike. Never again will your dog face the embarrassment of going to the dog park, only to find that the snobby teacup poodle from around the corner is wearing the same design.
Your dog can make a big statement that supports both fashion and sustainability by wearing one of these hand-crafted doggie raincoats. At the Recycling Zychal Etsy store you can choose from your favorite available umbrella pattern, and select the size most appropriate for that furry member of your family using the measurement chart. To further enhance the comfort and style of the eco-friendly garment, you can also choose to add a coat lining made from either hand-picked vintage fabric or recycled eco-fi felt.
If you don’t have a pet at home ready to get in on this green trend, you can still contribution to this eco-friendly cause by hanging on to your mangled umbrellas after they’ve reached their demise. Taryn Zychal will pay the cost of shipping to get her hands on your discarded umbrellas.
