Hi!
Figured it would maybe help some if I posted here. My mom is the owner of FireFish Designs and I'm her daughter!
The Cuddlenests she makes- make no mistake- are worth the money. The faux furs are often mistaken as real. I know, I have a purse made of one and made the mistake of taking it out in public. People were drawn to it and wouldn't stop touching the fur!!! (I should add that a few PETA types were DISPLEASED with me until I showed them the backing of the fur, haha... 100% faux!)
The thing is, the faux furs she uses are such a high quality that they have a price that matches! The fur isn't the same crunchy stuff you can find just anywhere. They're not like anything I had ever seen before.
I suggest that, if you think the beds are just a bit expensive, you try just one in a plain color to see if you like it. If you machine wash and air dry it, I think you'll find it lasts a VERY long time. I have some of her first prototypes and my yorkie, Roxy, is still as attached to those as the newer ones. We have a lot of new retailers, too: some I've just added recently, so maybe you guys have one close, and you can go feel them and decide for yourselves!
Hope that helps! |
