What's the story behind East•Side?
My name is Valentina, and I’ve been involved in the dog show world since I was 13 years old. That’s quite a long time, huh? As a young handler, I remember struggling to find show outfits that were both elegant and practical for long days in the ring.
Over the years, I found my own style, and along the way I discovered another passion alongside dog handling: selecting beautiful fabrics, refining every detail, and creating suits that are comfortable, functional, and unique. Every new design is an opportunity to improve, and we’re constantly working to make each collection even better than the last.
Why Are the Suits Named After Cities and States?
Travel has always been one of my greatest passions. Every city has its own character, atmosphere, and story, and I wanted each of our suits to reflect that inspiration.
Every model is named after a place I’ve visited, carrying a small piece of its charm and the memories I made there. Through these collections, I hope to share a little of those experiences with everyone who wears an East•Side suit.
