About the Lola Santoro Atelier
Lola Santoro is an atelier from Warsaw/Poland who create dog and cat beds.
The atelier is owned by Ewa Defitowska who is a very passionate dog owner. In order to help dogs in need, a percentage of every sold pet bed is given to charity and Ewa has rescued a few old dogs from a shelter herself. As Ewa is an interor designer, she always missed pet beds that are in harmony with stylish and fashionable interior design. Thus, the concept of creating decorative pet beds was born.
The name Lola Santoro was chosen because in 2002 Ewa's daughter Magdalena and her boyfriend Salvatore Santoro rescued a puppy from a pizzeria owner in Genoa/Italy who no longer wanted her. Salvatore called her Lola and they became inseperable. Tragically, in 2005 Salvatore died in a car crash and therefore Ewa gave Lola a new home. In honour of Salvatore and due to his insaparability to Lola, Ewa chose to call her atelier "Lola Santoro". Thus, Salvatore lives on in the atelier name.
The Lola Santoro Atelier is a part of Ewa's home which means that her dogs are able to go to work with her and even test the pet beds. Thus, Lola Santoro is a home based atelier and by no means comparable with any mass production factories. Hence, the pet beds are only made upon request, are handmade with care and smell pleasurable without having any chemical odours. For Ewa, loving pets is very important and one of the main criteria to be able to work with her.
Lola Santoro create extraordinary pet beds you won't find anywhere else. The luxurious beds are made out of ecological fur and noble details such as stones, tassels and/or Swarovski crystals. All beds are handmade with extra attention to detail. If you cannot find what you are looking for or want a pet bed that no one else has, Lola Santoro will create your unique pet bed as a special order. They have already created many unique pet beds for celebrities, photo shoots and special events.
Additionally, Lola Santoro have just opened their new Facebook Shop in order to make it easy for customers from all over the world to purchase Lola Santoro pet beds.

The Lola Santoro Glam Gothic Black Bed
The Glam Gothic Bed made by Lola Santoro is a beautiful handmade bed in black with long fox faux fur and black snake imitation bottom. This quality bed is manufactured in Poland. All decorative elements are safe for every pet and easily removable for washing and cleaning. The bed is also machine washable at 30°C degrees or 86 F. Brushing is recommended after washing.
The bed is available in 3 sizes; Small (50cm x 45cm x 20cm), Medium (55cm x 45cm x 20cm) and Large (60cm x 50cm x 20cm).
Every bed comes with a Lola Santoro tag including a small limited edition designer Swarovski crystal, which at the moment is a Swarovski heart crystal, of which the complete profit goes to charity for dogs in need.
....... a snake imitation pillow with a Swarovski skull application.
The pillow measures about 28cm x 12cm x 6cm.
All beds have the Lola Santoro brand name inprinted on the backside.
In addition, each bed comes with a dust label bag.
Review: I absolutely like the Glam Gothic Black bed made by Lola Santoro. The medium bed is a great size as Rocky fits into it perfectly but still has a good amount of space.
I also like the extra attention to detail such as the bottom being made out of black snake imitation fabric, the little pillow with Swarovski elements, the silver steel chain, the imprinted logo on the backside and the tag including a little Swarovski heart crystal.This shows how much care Lola Santoro puts into making pet beds.
I think it's great how original all the Lola Santoro beds are and I have never seen pet beds quite like them. They are extraordinary and fashionable, but yet comfortable and functional as all decorative elements can be removed and the bed can hence be easily washed and cleaned.
Each bed also comes with a dust label back which I think is very useful as it keeps the bed clean and safe during transit, but can also be used if the bed is stored away in order to pretect it from dust and dirt.
Rocky straight away laid down in the bed and got comfy in it. Due to the long fox faux fur, the bed is very soft which I think Rocky really liked.
So the bed is definitely Rocky-approved!
Overall Review
Overall, I think Lola Santoro is a great atelier. Ewa is very passionate about pets and this is reflected throughout her work. The Lola Santoro Atelier is not just a business for her, but rather Ewa puts her whole heart into her Atelier. I was very impressed when I saw that next to my name, Rocky's name was written on the package as a recipient, which again shows how much heart Ewa puts into her work and that each individual customer and their little fur friend is important!
I have to mention that the contact with Ewa has been very nice. She is a wonderful woman who is very passionate about her dogs and tries her best to help dogs in shelters by contributing a percentage of sold beds to charities and by rescuing older dogs herself. She also donates all of the profit made from the limited edition Swarovski crystals that are attached to the Lola Santoro tags. Furthermore, it is very important for her that her dogs are able to be at work with her and I think it's great that she combines her work (creating pet beds) with her passion (pets/dogs).
Moreover, delivery was very quick considering the pet bed came from Poland, which I think is a great service.
Another great service that Lola Santoro have just established is their newly opened facebook shop; Lola Santoro Facebook Shop. I think it's great that this will make it easier for people from all around the world to be able to purchase one of the decorative Lola Santoro beds.
Overall, Lola Santoro is a great atelier, with an owner who is dedicated to pets, as well as high-quality pet beds which are not only unique and fashionable, but also functional and economic.
