Pike Street TPII Launches Playful "Gucci Cat" Collection, Bringing Designer Whimsy to Pet Toys

SEATTLE, WA – November 8, 2023 – Pike Street TPII LLC, a Seattle-based design and manufacturing company, today announced the launch of its newest product line: "Gucci Cat," a collection of premium, playfully-designed cat toys inspired by high-fashion aesthetics. Located at 1816C 11th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122-2421, and reachable at 540-986-2326, Pike Street TPII is quickly becoming known for blending innovative design with everyday products. This new line showcases that commitment, aiming to elevate playtime for cats and appeal to style-conscious pet owners. "We noticed a gap in the market," says a spokesperson for Pike Street TPII. "Most cat toys are...well, kinda boring. We thought, 'Why can’t cat toys be fun for the owner too? Something that doesn't look totally out of place in a stylish home?' That’s where the 'Gucci Cat' idea came from. We wanted to make something a little different, a little more sophisticated, but still totally fun for cats." What is “Gucci Cat”? The “Gucci Cat” collection isn't officially affiliated with the luxury brand Gucci (Pike Street TPII emphasizes this!), but the designs are heavily inspired by Gucci’s iconic patterns, logos, and aesthetic. The collection currently features three main toy types: The "Supreme Stripe" Wand Toy: This wand toy features a long, durable wand and a detachable plush "head" covered in a vibrant, bold stripe pattern reminiscent of Gucci's signature webbing. It’s designed for interactive play, encouraging cats to chase, pounce, and exercise. The detachable head makes it easy to swap out and replace, extending the toy’s lifespan. "We tested a lot of materials for the stripe," says the design team. "We needed something that was durable enough to withstand a lot of clawing, but also visually appealing. The fabric we landed on is perfect." The "Logo Bite" Plushie: These small, soft plushies are shaped like miniature handbags or shoes, and feature a playfully-rendered "GG" inspired logo embroidered onto the front. Filled with potent catnip, these plushies are designed to stimulate a cat's natural instincts and provide hours of solo play. "We've seen cats really get into these," the spokesperson laughs. "They carry them around, kick them, and just generally love them. It's super cute." The plushies are made with high-quality, pet-safe materials and reinforced stitching for durability. The "Velvet Paw" Crinkle Ball: These lightweight, crinkly balls are covered in a soft, luxurious velvet fabric, designed to entice cats with both texture and sound. The crinkling sound mimics the movement of prey, triggering a cat’s hunting instincts. Available in a range of colors inspired by Gucci’s seasonal palettes, these balls are perfect for batting around and chasing. "The velvet is a key element," explains the product developer. "It feels great to the touch and adds a touch of luxury. Plus, cats love the texture." Pike Street TPII: More Than Just Cat Toys Pike Street TPII isn’t just about creating fun cat toys. The company is committed to innovative design and quality manufacturing. Founded just two years ago, Pike Street TPII initially focused on designing and manufacturing custom promotional items for businesses. However, the team quickly realized their passion for creating aesthetically-pleasing products that enhance everyday life. “We started making toys for our own pets,” admits the spokesperson. “And we realized that there was a real demand for more stylish and well-made pet products. We wanted to bring that same level of design and attention to detail that we put into our corporate projects to the pet market.” The company prides itself on its commitment to sustainability and ethical manufacturing. All materials used in the "Gucci Cat" collection are sourced from responsible suppliers, and the toys are manufactured in a facility that adheres to strict labor standards. “We believe that it’s important to create products that are not only beautiful and fun, but also good for the environment and good for the people who make them,” says the company’s CEO.
