Albie the Puggle started in humble beginnings. Abandoned and left homeless on the hard streets of New York City, he was about to be euthanized in a shelter when he was adopted by his mom Nikki and given a forever home. Today, Albie is his own CEO -- the face and heart of our brand. Albie’s inspiring story is what drives us forward. We not only commit to bring you the highest-quality designs made right here in New York, but we pledge to give back to other dogs in need.

Nikki is Albie’s business partner and collaborator. They inspire each other, both share their love of design and giving back. Born in Germany, she has a postgraduate degree in psychology and now lives in New York. Nikki has travelled the world as a successful international fashion model and has been hired by the most iconic brands such as Chanel, Escada, Tommy Hilfiger, Olay, and Elle Magazine, among others. Working with the most high-end brands in the business gave her the inspiration to create designs for your furry friends that have the same quality and fit as anything that you would see on a human runway. She’s excited to team up with her canine companion to bring your dog the most stylish, functional and dynamic products out there.
