About Privé Pet

At Privé Pet, we design elegant, quiet-luxury pieces for pets that blend beauty, functionality, and compassion. Every item is cruelty-free and crafted with intention, because we believe your pets deserve the best—without harming other animals or the planet.

I’m Tamae Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover and graduate of the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York and Paris. My journey into pet design began with my tiny rescued Chihuahua, Dauphine Bijoux Bourbon (@FattyTheChi)—a former puppy mill survivor who completely changed my life.

When I lived in NYC, I struggled to find a carrier that truly fit her needs. The only designer option small enough for her was a $3,000 Louis Vuitton mini dog bag—beautiful, but impractical and inaccessible. Everything else on the market was either too large, lacked safety features, wasn’t comfortable for her, or simply wasn’t designed with tiny dogs in mind.

So I used my fashion training to design something better. I created a carrier that was stylistically elevated, tiny-dog appropriate, and genuinely functional, with thoughtful details like a safety tether, a built-in poop bag holder, and pockets placed exactly where pet parents need them. That prototype became the Dauphine Bag—the flagship design that launched Privé Pet.

Before founding Privé Pet, I apprenticed under Valentino Garavani—one of the last living Haute Couturiers—at his atelier in Rome, Italy. I had the honor of meeting him and his five beloved pugs, and witnessing firsthand how true luxury is created: with craftsmanship, heart, and an uncompromising eye for detail. That couture philosophy guides every product we make.

Today, our pieces are created with meticulous care, using cruelty-free, premium materials and artisanal techniques that honor both your pet’s comfort and your aesthetic.

Privé Pet is where quiet luxury meets compassion—cruelty-free designs made for pets and the people who adore them.
