Aloha!

You don’t have to surf to be a hotdog thanks to Cocojor Hawaii, a line of high-quality apparel made in Hawaii to fit our canine lifestyle throughout the year.

And, I can certainly tell you that whether at a luau (yum!), the beach, by the pool or just out & about, no self-respecting fashion-hound should be without several of these comfortable and stylish outfits and accessories.

Founded in 2002 by owner/designer Monica Nanae Shigenaga – a personal friend of mine – Cocojor Hawaii offers a wonderful selection of Aloha shirts & tops, Mu’uMu’us & dresses, outwear, beachwear & sanitary wear, hats & caps, cooling products, dog carriers, Rainbow bandanas and other accessories.

Personally, I can hardly wait to be seen in my colorful new hot-pink sundress when cruising Santa Monica or my cool new green bikini when hitting the sands of Malibu! And, meaning to name-drop, the pampered pooches of Jessica Simpson, Carmen Elektra, Tori Spelling & Mini Driver are all tres chic when wearing their Cocojor Hawaii togs.

Like Dogwalk Press, there’s also a serious side to Cocojor Hawaii as it participates in a number of fundraising events benefiting both humans and canines. In fact, I met Monica last week at America’s Family Pet Expo at the Pomona CA Fairplex where some of Cocojor’s outfits were worn by rescued dogs in the “Fashion Show of Adoptable Darlings.”

So, I strongly recommend to all of my fashion-forward pooch fans out there that they check out Cocojor Hawaii at www.cocojorhawaii.com. There you can learn more about the company, its philosophy and its products as well as visit its showroom where you can see their full range of items in a variety of delightfully colorful patterns, with which you can have fun mixing and matching! There’s also a list of some of the finer canine-related retailers in Hawaii, on the mainland and in Japan that are smart enough to carry Cocojor Hawaii!

So, visit Cocojor Hawaii and bark hello to Monica and her two American Staffordshire Terriers from whom the company is named, Sierra’s Coco Chanel and Heir Jordan of Noah’s Ark. And tell them Coco from Coco’s Corner sent you!

Aloha!
