Ukrainian opens upscale doggy boutique on New York City's Lower East Side

NEW YORK - The grand opening of a hip new venture, Bones Boutique, a luxury pet shop located on Manhattan's Lower East Side, brings dog and cat lovers a sense of community while shopping for the latest fashions, toys and healthy treats for their favorite four legged friends. The chic boutique features pret-a-porte couture and accessories from the doggy runways of Paris, Italy and Japan and stocks specialty items from local New York designers such as Kwigy-Bo and Ella Dish. The boutique welcomes New York's sassy felines with play time products from CatRuleDogz2 and other noteworthy suppliers, and carries a fun selection of organic foods.

Bones Boutique features a revolutionary product from Japan called Hikari Pet Spray. Hikari Pet Spray uses light to deodorize, sanitize and prevent pet odor or stains in your household. It also protects fabrics from color fading while being perfectly safe for your skin and your clothes.

The coating even endures approximately 30 times of washing.

Bones Boutique is also a culinary haven of healthy snacks. Among such products is the exclusive, 100 percent natural pet food enhancer, Mooshka's Magic Spice, which co-founder of Bones Boutique, Roxy Luchkan created. The unique blend of pure ingredients will entice even the most discriminating pet's pallet with one sprinkle over a mealtime dish.

"Our pets, as an extended part of our families, deserve the best quality goods and foods," said Ms. Luchkan. "The boutique provides everything pets need to eat well, look their best and be happy."

The clean, minimal design of Bones Boutique is a refreshing addition to New York's thriving Lower East Side. The soft turquoise floor and colorful shelves against white furniture provide a serene retreat for pet owners to unwind, socialize and pamper their furry friends.

"We wanted to provide a fun place to browse and mingle with other pet-owning neighbors. We like the sense of community here on the Lower East Side, with emerging artists and innovative merchants, and wanted to pass that social experience on to our customers," said Nadia Tatchin, Bones Boutique co-founder, who encourages local artisans to submit their creations and ideas for display in the shop.

Bones Boutique will integrate the avant-garde fashion and art scene of the Lower East side into its retail experience by hosting joint events with other local shops and artists such as Discovery Wines and Zito Studio Gallery. Customers will have the unique opportunity to explore art and make friends while buying hip fashions and food for their favorite pets.

Bones Boutique founders, Ms. Luchkan and Ms. Tatchin are native New Yorkers whose friendship and own pampered pug inspired the inception of a luxury pet boutique for the convenience of funky pet owners on the Lower East Side.

Bones Boutique provides a relaxed setting for pet owners to outfit their classy canines in the season's latest couture and fashion accessories. Located in the heart of Manhattan's Lower East Side at Nine Clinton Street between Houston and Stanton, Bones Boutique offers wholesome food and gourmet treats for the most discriminating hounds and doggy divas.
