Salty was inspired by winter seaside promenades—a smart little hound trotting the pier with a jaunty cane and a splash of festive colour. His berry-red and leaf-green pompoms echo bunting and baubles, while the neat black coat and forest-green trousers nod to a Victorian gent about town. He’s part pier-walker, part party guest: polite, dapper and ready for a merry stroll.
