Luxury Poodle Clothing, from Paris
On a silhouette that was never the problem.
Most of the dog clothing world drafts for extremes — the impossibly long dachshund back, the barrel-chested bulldog, the sighthound's narrow waist. Somewhere in the middle sits a proportion that most patterns were quietly built around in the first place: a balanced chest, a straight back, a neck that sits naturally under a collar without correction.
That proportion is, more often than any other breed, the poodle's.
Why our regular collection already fits
We draft two silhouettes at the atelier: one for the long-bodied dachshund frame, and one standard pattern for everything else. That standard pattern was built on exactly the kind of proportions a nain or moyen poodle carries — a back that is not exaggerated in length, a chest that sits centred rather than wide, a neck-to-shoulder line the standard describes as "distinguished" for good reason.
We did not build a separate poodle line, because we did not need to. The collection below already drapes the way it should on a poodle — no gathering at the chest, no pulling at the shoulder, no coat that reads as borrowed from another breed.
The pieces that work
Épuré — The occasion shirt, in striped cotton, for the days that call for something more than the everyday. Six colourways.
Sérine — A minimalist cotton polo, cut in the tradition of a well-made Oxford. For every day that does not need an occasion.
Nuance — A braided-stitch sweater in alpaca blend, hand-loomed in the Peruvian highlands. Four tones.
Dots — A quiet dot-pattern sweater, hand-loomed by artisans in Huancayo.
La Tresse — A chunky cable knit with full sleeves, substantial and softly structured.
The Honeycomb Degradé — A gradient sweater in baby alpaca, hand-loomed, numbered.
La Pluie Light — A packable, water-repellent raincoat, lined in organic cotton. For the rain that arrives without warning.
What actually determines your poodle's size
Size, for a poodle, is not one number — it is the FCI classification, and it changes which end of our range fits.
Toy (24 to 28 cm at the withers) and Nain (28 to 35 cm) poodles generally sit in our XXS to S range.
Moyen poodles (35 to 45 cm) generally sit in S to M.
Grand poodles (45 to 60 cm) sit outside most of our range — our pieces are cut for small and medium dogs, not the standard poodle's full frame.
Three measurements matter more than the size chart: back length (base of collar to base of tail), chest (widest point, just behind the front legs), and neck. If your poodle falls between two sizes, choose the larger — a piece that moves easily with a curly, dense coat should never sit tight.
Not sure? Send us your poodle's three measurements in a DM or to bonjour@colettetgaston.com. We answer within the day.
On the atelier — Paris
Every cotton piece is handmade in our own atelier in Paris — cut and finished one at a time. Every baby alpaca piece is hand-loomed in Huancayo, Peru, by our own team of women artisans, on manual looms at 4,200 metres above sea level.
We work in small batches. Some pieces are numbered — a quiet mark for the person who notices.
On his coat, underneath
A poodle's dense, continuously curling coat behaves differently against fabric than a short coat does — it traps more warmth, and needs breathable, natural fibres against the skin more than most breeds. Our cotton pieces are chosen with exactly that in mind. If you are curious about the coat itself — the cuts, the grooming schedule, what actually counts as hypoallergenic — our journal covers all of it.
