About Us
AirKnit Pet was founded by Meryem Birsoz, a woman entrepreneur with over 14 years of experience in the global pet industry and a track record of building category-defining products that modern pet parents actually reach for.
After a decade of watching pets wear stiff, bulky gear that prioritized looks over livability, Meryem set out to fix it. The idea was direct: the everyday essentials — harnesses, collars, leashes — should move the way pets move. Lighter. Softer. More breathable. Built for real life.
AirKnit™ Technology is the result. A knit-based construction approach engineered for flexibility, comfort, and performance — without sacrificing style. Designed for both dogs and cats, every piece in the collection reflects the same founding principle: pet products can be functional and beautifully considered.
Built in Los Angeles. Shaped by 14 years in pet fashion, product development, and consumer behavior. Held to a higher standard — because good enough never is.
