Our Story

Gianni's story is one of heritage and heart. Growing up in a picturesque town where France, Italy, and Switzerland meet, she was immersed in a world where craftsmanship wasn't just work—it was art passed down through generations. As a young shoemaker, she learned that true luxury lies in the details: the perfect stitch, the careful selection of leather, the way a piece feels in your hands.

When life brought her to America, everything changed through her beloved companion, Henri—a spirited Poodlemix who became her greatest teacher. Watching Henri, Gianni realized that the pets we love deserve the same thoughtful design and impeccable quality that we seek for ourselves. This wasn't just a business opportunity; it was a calling.

Drawing from her deep roots in European leather craftsmanship, Gianni began creating pieces that told a story. Each collar, each leash, each accessory became an expression of the bond between pet and owner. She insists on sourcing only the finest materials from trusted European and American suppliers, because for Gianni, compromise has never been an option.

Word of her exceptional work spread organically among those who recognize true artistry. From her cherished studio in Raleigh, North Carolina, Gianni poured her soul into every creation — until January 2025, when her heart called her to Berlin. Now, from her beautiful new studio in the German capital, she continues to handcraft each piece with the same devotion that has always defined her work.

Her creations have found homes in Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Bloomingdales, and have been celebrated in O, the Oprah Magazine and Cosmopolitan—recognition that honors not just her products, but her philosophy.

For Gianni, the journey from shoemaker to luxury pet artisan has always been about one thing: creating beauty that celebrates the love we share with our most cherished companions.
