Our story

Bechiva began with a Chihuahua named Tino. After a few expensive but disappointing accessories, we set out to make the ones we couldn't find: soft, well-fitted collars, harnesses and leashes made from quality leather. Lucky, our second Chihuahua, joined the testing, and after months of walks, small adjustments and a careful choice of leather, the first Bechiva pieces were ready.

Today every piece is handmade in small batches in our workshop in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, with a family background in leather goods that goes back generations. We use genuine leather for our pet collection, and give leather offcuts a second life in our recycled leather pieces for the home and office.
