What Is Chocolate Peanut (chocolatepeanut.com)?
Updated
Chocolate Peanut is a small, Rhode Island–based online boutique selling handmade apparel, accessories, and gifts for pets and their people. If you're looking for small-batch, often one-of-a-kind dog clothing rather than mass-market pet products, this is the store to browse. The shop describes itself as handcrafting each piece from carefully selected fabrics and yarns in small batches, with a history dating to 2000.
What the store sells
The catalog centers on dog pullovers and hoodies, plus a few gift-oriented items. From the shop's own product listings:
| Product | Category | Listed price |
|---|---|---|
| Cable Knit pullover | Pullovers | $40.00 |
| Springtime pullover | Pullovers | $35.00 |
| Hound Dog pullover | Pullovers | $40.00 |
| Bathtime pullover | Pullovers | $40.00 |
| French Terry pullover | Pullovers | $35.00 |
| Tie-dyed hoodies | Hoodies | $35.00 |
| Amigurumi | Amigurumi | $15.00 |
| Gift cards | Gift cards | $15.00–$150.00 |
Most items are listed with multiple variants, so you choose size and color/option on the product page before adding to cart. The shop also names specific pieces after dogs (for example, "Ruthie: French terry pullover" and "Morty: Tie-dyed hoodie"), which suggests the listings double as a lookbook of finished pieces.
What makes it different
The shop's stated differentiator is that every item is handmade, and many pieces are one-of-a-kind. That has practical consequences for a shopper:
- Availability is limited. Small-batch and one-of-a-kind production means a given fabric or colorway may not restock in the same form.
- Sizing is per-listing. Because variants are chosen on each product page, check the options on the specific item rather than assuming a single size chart across the store.
- It's a small business. The store presents itself as a Southern New England small business, and its about section references a December 2024 feature in Rhode Island Monthly on local faces.
The shop also says a new "RESCUED" line is coming, made from rescued fabrics, with each sale benefiting rescued animals. That line is announced but not yet part of the current catalog.
Who it's for
This store fits you if you want distinctive, handcrafted dog clothing and are comfortable with limited inventory and per-item variant selection. It's a weaker fit if you need guaranteed ongoing stock of a specific size or color, or if you're shopping strictly on price — the listed pullover and hoodie prices sit at $35–$40, with amigurumi at $15 and gift cards spanning $15–$150.
How to shop it
- Open the shop's collection page and note the product type you want (pullover, hoodie, amigurumi, gift card).
- Open the individual product page and select from the available variants — this is where size and style are chosen.
