[NEW YORK, August 4, 2025] — In a market where global pet apparel sales are projected to surpass $7 billion by 2030, one small, handcrafted brand is making an outsized impact. Luko Luko, best known for its premium pet bow ties and formalwear, is emerging as a name to watch among style-conscious pet owners.

Unlike mass-market labels, Luko Luko isn’t trying to compete on volume. Instead, it’s gaining attention by offering pet accessories designed with the same care, fit, and material quality as human clothing — a deliberate break from the industry’s fast-fashion approach.

That shift in focus is resonating. From holiday attire to everyday accessories, Luko Luko’s collections are quietly influencing how pet owners think about style, comfort, and craftsmanship for their four-legged companions.

A Market Ready for Quality and Style

Luko Luko’s growing visibility isn’t happening in a vacuum. The pet apparel and accessories market, valued at $5.1 billion in 2024, is projected to surpass $7 billion by 2030. This steady growth is fueled by a clear shift in how people relate to their pets — not just as animals, but as family members who deserve the same quality, comfort, and style as any other loved one.

As this shift continues, demand is moving away from mass-produced products toward well-crafted, design-focused accessories. It’s in this space — where style meets substance — that Luko Luko has found a natural fit, offering pieces that align with what today’s pet owners are looking for.

Engineering Meets Craft — How Luko Luko Was Born

Luko Luko’s story doesn’t begin in a sleek office or with a big launch. It starts in a Columbia University dorm, with an engineering student named Frank and his four-legged companion. Like many pet owners, Frank wanted his dog to look sharp, but every accessory he found was either poorly made, uncomfortable, or lacking in personality.

Rather than settle, Frank turned to someone who had shaped his sense of quality from a young age — his grandmother. With decades of sewing experience, she crafted a small bow tie from high-quality fabric. It fit perfectly, looked refined, and most importantly, kept his dog comfortable.

The bow tie didn’t stay a private treasure for long. Friends started asking where they could get one, and soon Frank was making more pieces — each designed with the same attention to detail. What began as a single handcrafted accessory became the foundation of Luko Luko, a brand built on the idea that pets deserve the same thoughtful design and quality as the people who love them.

Where Comfort Meets Craftsmanship

Premium Fabrics, Made for Comfort

At the heart of Luko Luko’s products is a commitment to material quality. Every piece is made from human-grade fabrics — the same textiles used in tailored suits, crisp shirts, and formalwear. This choice isn’t just about aesthetics. High-quality fabrics are softer on the skin, more breathable, and hold their shape longer, ensuring each accessory is as comfortable on a pet’s coat as it is durable over time.

Handcrafted Precision

Every Luko Luko accessory is individually handcrafted, a process that allows for precision and attention to detail that mass production simply can’t match. From cutting the fabric to the final stitch, each step is carefully overseen to maintain consistent quality. This craftsmanship not only gives each piece its refined finish but also reinforces the brand’s philosophy: pets deserve the same level of care and artistry as people do.

Thoughtful Design for Everyday Use

Luko Luko accessories are created with ease of wear in mind. Adjustable fittings allow for a secure yet gentle fit, and Velcro closures make dressing a pet quick and stress-free. Every seam and stitch is placed to avoid irritation, while designs are balanced for comfort so pets can move naturally — whether they’re playing, walking, or napping.

Pet Bandanas: Style Without the Bulk

Understanding that not all pets enjoy wearing full clothing, Luko Luko offers a wide range of Pet Bandanas — lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear. Designed to add a touch of style without restricting movement, these bandanas are ideal for pets who prefer simplicity. They also serve as a versatile accessory for owners looking for a subtle, everyday fashion statement.

Versatility for Every Occasion

From holiday celebrations to professional pet photoshoots, Luko Luko pieces are designed for versatility. Seasonal bandanas, lightweight summer pieces, and formal coats are tailored to suit different events and climates. The brand’s collections give owners the flexibility to choose accessories that not only match the occasion but also reflect their own personal style.

From New York Apartments to Pets Around the World

Growing Global Presence

What began with a single bow tie in a New York apartment has quietly grown into a brand recognized by pet owners far beyond its hometown. Today, Luko Luko products are worn by pets in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, often featured in holiday photos, birthdays, and even weddings. Social media has played a key role, with customers sharing their pets’ looks online — organically turning Luko Luko into a name that resonates among style-conscious pet communities.

Looking Ahead

Luko Luko’s vision is to continue expanding its collections while staying true to its small-batch, craftsmanship-driven roots. The brand plans to introduce more seasonal collections and explore eco-conscious fabric options to align with the growing demand for sustainable pet fashion. As the pet apparel market continues to grow, Luko Luko aims to remain a distinctive alternative to mass-produced accessories, keeping its focus on quality, comfort, and timeless style.

Redefining What Pet Accessories Can Be

In an industry dominated by mass production, Luko Luko has taken a different path — one defined by craft, comfort, and quiet attention to detail. From premium fabrics to handcrafted finishes, its pieces challenge the idea of pet accessories as disposable fashion.

For owners, the appeal goes beyond looks. It’s about giving their pets the same consideration they would give themselves — whether that’s a bow tie for a wedding, a seasonal bandana for summer walks, or a tailored coat for winter outings.

As the global pet fashion market continues to grow, Luko Luko remains a reminder that small brands can make a lasting impression, one handcrafted accessory at a time.、
