About Us
ami nali was born in New York City from a simple belief: that the things we share with our dogs should be as considered as anything else we own. Guided by an architected vision of disciplined freedom, designed for the dog who goes everywhere. Our pieces are crafted in exceptional calfskin leather, saddle stitched, and finished with polished stainless steel hardware – built to be lived in and loved for years.
Every detail is intentional. Every object made to last. It's a capsule collection for dogs and their humans.
ami nali pieces honor human sensibility and canine need in equal measure. Informed by equestrian tradition, each piece embodies disciplined simplicity — silhouettes shaped by purpose, where every detail serves communication, comfort, and control. Premium materials and meticulous construction define this restrained minimalism, finished with polished hardware that stands as our enduring signature.
Each of our objects is shaped through deliberate proportion and disciplined construction, where every stitch, edge, and curve serves a purpose. We partner with skilled artisans rooted in generational expertise, whose heritage informs every stage of our process, from saddle stitching to meticulous edge finishing and hardware assembly. Materials are handled with the highest standard of care, allowing the natural character of calfskin leather to guide the final form.
All ami nali materials are chosen for their elegance, integrity, and durability. We work with premium calfskin leather, prized for its supple finish and refined grain. Its natural structure allows for flexibility without compromising resilience, aging gracefully with each wear. Hardware components are engineered in polished stainless steel, offering enduring strength and resistance to corrosion while maintaining a sculptural presence.
Our products come to life in small-batch production with permanence in mind, intentionally measured to reduce excess and minimize waste. Objects intentionally designed to be season-less: high-quality pieces created to stand the test of time rather than follow fleeting trends. Through responsible sourcing and disciplined production, we strive to embody a more conscious expression of luxury.
ami nali was rooted in Denali, our beloved German Shepherd / Husky mix rescue from Muddy Paws Rescue in New York City, who continues to shape everything we create. To honor where he came from and the many dogs still waiting for safe, loving homes, we pledge to contribute 2% of our profits to animal rescue and welfare organizations.
