It all started when my partner and I moved to New York with our toy poodle, Potato. Excited for new adventures in the city, we quickly realized how much we relied on practical, well-designed essentials for navigating urban life with a dog. Finding the right carrier for Potato, however, proved harder than we expected. Most options felt either overly designed or lacking the comfort and functionality we needed for everyday use.

As the one often carrying Potato, I became especially aware of how small details—like the length of the straps or the weight of the bag—could make all the difference. We wanted something that balanced practicality with a sense of timeless style, suiting both of our tastes.

With my background in architecture and design, I set out to create a solution. What began as a single design quickly grew into a bigger idea: reimagining pet essentials to blend form, function, and a modern aesthetic.

From carriers to collars, every product is crafted with care, balancing functionality, comfort, and simple beauty. Made with recycled leather and exceptional craftsmanship, our products celebrate the connection between pets and their owners, ensuring every detail feels as special as the bond you share.
