Are Retractable Leashes Dull? Meet matte

Walnut, CA, March 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The face of retractable leashes have changed in recent years sporting beautiful prints in glossy finishes; thanks to 26 Bars & a Band who created the Avant Garde leash collection. With a focus on pet owners and their unique style, Meet matte is the latest development in the award winning series. The new collection of 4 new prints launched at Global Pet Expo last month.

“You can expect the same high quality and award-winning designs the original Avant Garde collection offers but matte has a polarized coating that gives a tactile experience when rubbed,” says Michael Kaneko, Vice President. There is a smooth rubbery finish sans the glossy coat the rest of its predecessors had that made them so popular. So why steer away from what brought so much success? 26 Bars & a Band continually strives to bring something exciting to the pet industry and this is just another way the company plans to stay ahead of their competition. matte is not just about a new finish but all new original, urban-chic designs and even a special application to customize your leash.
