Our Story
LIKA was born between the cities of Stockholm and Shanghai — a pet lifestyle brand nurtured by two distinct cultures, North and South, but a shared vision.
The founder, Christin, with years of experience in international luxury brand management, had long traveled between Nordic countries and China. A profound conversation with Swedish market expert Magnus reshaped her understanding of the core Nordic lifestyle concept: "equal rights for pets."
In Stockholm, dogs are regarded as family members, with their right to a dignified life highly protected by law and society. In contrast, in fast-paced, space-constrained Shanghai, dogs are increasingly playing vital roles as family connectors, social bridges, and emotional companions.
In September 2023, driven by their mutual love for pets, the two founders established LIKA, inspired by the principles of "Equality & Love." Starting with apparel for small and medium-sized dogs, LIKA merges Nordic design philosophy with the needs of urban pet owners in China. The brand is committed to upgrading city pet lifestyles and building a high-quality pet lifestyle brand that combines aesthetics, functionality, and emotional connection.
