Each accessory reflects our commitment to functional design, adding elegance and purpose to everyday moments with your beloved companion.

The Founders & Our Story

Jiatai Qi & Nicolo Di Stefano

SHIBA & CO. was born from a deep love for Jiatai and Nicolo's Shiba Inu companions, Fendi and Ori. As New Yorkers and devoted pet owners, they believe that expressing our love means giving them the best life possible — including accessories as high-quality as the ones we'd choose for ourselves.

In their search for accessories that reflected the refined, purposeful lives their Shiba Inus had brought to them, they found nothing that met their expectations. Just as they sought human-grade dog food personalized to their dogs' dietary needs, they believed their accessories should embody both elegance and functionality, tailored to the unique characteristics of the Shiba Inu breed. 

This belief led to the creation of SHIBA & CO, where craftsmanship and care seamlessly blend with style, honoring both the spirit of Shibas and the people who adore them.
