Nestled in Contra Costa County’s major retail center of downtown Walnut Creek, Rororiri is the ideal dog boutique for serious pet parents. Crafted by owner and fashion designer Rita Li, every piece of clothing carries a just-off-the-runway vibe that is sure to have your dog looking better than before. These items are so well-tailored and adorable that even aspiring dog moms may be tempted to purchase a jacket or two (seriously, the Hoodie Chuck is worth the $90)—and don’t even get me started on the button-up cardigans, bow ties, and dog bandanas. While I may not spend $30 on a bandana for myself, my best friend deserves only the best.
