Olive & Pearls: A Comeback Story with Heart, Thread & a Whole Lot of Style
If you’ve ever seen one of Olive & Pearls’ dazzling dog collars, you already know this Hendersonville gem isn’t just about pet accessories — it’s full-on couture for your pup. But there’s more to this story, and it’s one that means a lot to me and many others in Western North Carolina.
You might remember the Sniffspot they had onsite where I used to bring my dog — a beautiful piece of land turned into a safe, private place to play, unwind, and reset. It wasn’t just our favorite spot; it was where we took shelter dogs from the Asheville Humane Society for a little freedom and fresh air. Christie, the owner of Olive & Pearls, would always gift those dogs a custom collar — more like a statement piece — to help them look their best and stand out to future adopters. It was a sweet gesture that made a huge impact.
That beloved Sniffspot suffered storm damage after Hurricane Helene, and like so many local places, it’s taken time to rebuild. But Christie? She’s coming back stronger, and in the most beautiful way.
What started as a way to monogram initials on her iconic collars has blossomed into a full-blown custom embroidery business — and the results are absolutely stunning.
Don't worry, you can still get custom dog collars sparkling with personality

This isn’t just a glow-up; it’s a story of resilience, creativity, and love for both animals and community.
