Royal & PawLa Sélection

Chosen by the Maison, made by others.

The Maison makes couture, rituals and a circle. It does not make jewellery, paint portraits or drive cars. For those, La Sélection: a short list of houses and people whose work the Maison would put its own name beside, chosen on merit, declared honestly, and offered to clients who would rather ask one concierge than search.

How it works

A recommendation, declared.

Some of the links on this page will be affiliate links. If you buy through one, the Maison may receive a commission from the house concerned; the price you pay is the same. Every item is chosen because the Maison would recommend it without the commission, and each one is marked so you know which is which. Nothing is listed until an agreement is signed and the piece or service has been seen.

La Sélection is in preparation. The first list is published to the founding list and to Le Cercle before it appears here. Houses and people named on this page are named only once confirmed in writing.

Four selections

What the Maison will choose.

A delicate gold paw pendant set with a single sapphire on a fine chain, in an open ivory jewellery box. Editorial artwork, digitally created.

Fine jewellery

For the hand that holds the lead.

Pendants, charms and tags from fine jewellers, in gold and precious stones, engraved with a companion's name. For the person, never fastened to the animal.

A structured ivory leather handbag beside a slim navy leather lead and collar on cream marble, a silk scarf in navy and gold. Editorial artwork, digitally created.

Designer pieces

From houses we admire.

Carriers, leads and accessories from the fashion houses whose craft the Maison respects, chosen piece by piece against the welfare charter, and never a whole catalogue.

A classical oil portrait of Merlo in an ornate gilt frame above a mahogany console with a brass lamp. Editorial artwork made from his photograph.

Commissioned portraits

Painted, framed, hung.

Portrait painters and photographers who work from photographs or at a sitting the animal enjoys, in oil, in pencil or on film, framed by hand. Arranged through the concierge.

A chauffeur in a dark suit holding open the rear door of a black car outside a cream Mayfair townhouse, a navy carrier on the seat. Editorial artwork, digitally created.

Private services

Chauffeurs, sitters, flights.

Pet-friendly chauffeurs, trusted sitters and walkers, private aviation and relocation specialists between London and the Gulf, each verified before they are named. Where a venue or service carries the Royal & Paw Approved seal, the seal was earned, not bought.

Editorial imagery is digitally created artwork and shows the kind of piece or service La Sélection will carry, not a listed item. No partner is named until confirmed in writing.

Ask the concierge

Tell us what you are looking for.

Until La Sélection is published, the concierge answers requests one at a time: a portrait painter, a carrier from a particular house, a sitter in Dubai for a week in August. Replies within one working day, with any commission the Maison would earn stated plainly.
