Sophie was a great teacher. Through all of life’s peaks and valleys, she was a gentle reminder of the simpler things that mattered. When the time came for her time on earth to end, it was filled with peace, grace and many tears. Claire commemorated Sophie’s life with friends, each one sharing memories of how Sophie affected them and how she inspired them to get a pet of their own. Through Sophie’s passing, Claire transferred her sadness and creative passion into creating a line of exclusive collection of luxury keepsakes to cherish, celebrate and commemorate a pet’s impact on our lives.

“When Sophie passed, I had kept her doggie ID tag but did not have any other keepsakes I could wear. That was how Luxepets came to be. Our tagline "cherish, celebrate, commemorate" is just that--with our sterling silver line beginning at $40, both owners and their pets can celebrate special occasions and their commitment to one another. I wear the hug and kisses charm and both my gals have theirs as well:). It is close to my heart and a daily reminder of how much I cherish them as an integral part of my life.” —Claire—
