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.

For Sara, beauty is more than aesthetics—it’s an act of kindness, a reflection of respect, and a bold way to communicate values to the world. Her dedication to craftsmanship and her talent for storytelling through design have been instrumental in shaping SHIBA & CO.’s identity.
As a skilled designer with years of experience in fashion and tailoring, Sara approaches each project with creativity, precision, and a heartfelt connection to our mission. We are proud to have her as an integral part of the SHIBA & CO. family.
For us, luxury is not about status.
It's about quality and tailored design.
SHIBA & Co. is not for everyone—it's for those who share a deep bond with their Shiba Inus. We aim to create timeless, meticulously crafted accessories for both ends of the leash.
