The Golden Retriever. Sunglasses on, paws crossed, spritz within reach. This is our pen-and-ink golden retriever on a striped deck chair under a striped umbrella, somewhere between Antibes and Menton, with absolutely nowhere to be.

The golden retriever was made in Scotland, not on the Riviera. In 1868 Dudley Marjoribanks, later Lord Tweedmouth, bred a yellow wavy-coated retriever named Nous to a Tweed water spaniel named Belle at his Guisachan estate in the Highlands, and kept the yellow puppies. the breed was recognized in Britain in 1913 and in America in 1925, and it has sat near the top of the popularity lists ever since - the dog that greets burglars, retrieves things nobody threw, and considers every stranger a friend it hasn't met.

That temperament is the joke and the point. Put a golden on a Mediterranean beach and he does exactly what he does at home: finds the most comfortable spot, makes himself the center of it, and waits for you to notice. This ornament is for that dog. Celebrate the golden who runs your house, or keep one close on the tree every December. It opens our Dogs of the South of France series - La Collection des Chiens de la Côte d’Azur - one breed at a time on holiday.

For golden people, for beach people, for anyone with a dog worth an ornament, and for the friend who is still talking about theirs.

The art is our own drawing, printed on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round and white-backed so the ink lines read sharp against a lit tree; the spritz is the only color in the picture. The faceted edge catches light from every angle. Arrives boxed - your choice of white or gold gift box at checkout.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.
