Who Are We?
AMATI - A luxury dog accessories brand inspired by the historical role of lap dogs leading all the way back to Roman Times. Tiny in size but with big attitudes, these dogs resembling our present-day lapdogs were popular pets of upper-class and noble women in the ancient Empire. As constant loyal companions, they were adored and accordingly adorned with valuable stones and materials on collars and leashes.
“Amati” is derived from the Latin word “amatus” which means “beloved”. Inspired by our pet’s ancient history, AMATI is a story of love, companionship, and joy. With sophisticated taste in our Italian blood lineage, we create glamorous accessories to display care and affection for our loved ones - just the way our Roman ancestors did.
The Royal Treatment - Why our Dogs Rule the House...
For centuries, dogs have been human's best friend. Their story began in the Roman Empire, where they were treated as luxury pets and a symbol of wealth and status.
Wealthy Roman noble women and men were often depicted with their lapdogs wearing valuable collars and leashes, adorned with luxurious jewelry and garments.
But lapdogs were much more than just accessories; they offered companionship and loyalty to their owners.
Over time, they became popular in other parts of the world and were bred for their affectionate nature and small size.
Today, lapdogs continue to be popular pets, offering comfort and companionship to people of all backgrounds. They are our constant companions, always there to greet us with wagging tails and kisses.

Sustainability, Leather, and Hardware
We are absolutely committed to sustainability and minimizing our environmental impact. This is why we exclusively use genuine, vegetable-tanned leather sourced from Italy, which is considered the most durable and sustainable option available. Unlike faux leather made from synthetic plastic (PVC), real leather's vegetable tanning process is biodegradable and reduces the output of toxic chemicals, thereby reducing waste. Our hardware is custom-designed, utilizing gold, highest grade crystals and brass for their aesthetic appeal and longevity.
The Collar of Affection - Sapphire's Journey to the Hearts of Rome
Once upon a time in the Roman Empire, there lived a beautiful little Maltese lapdog named Sapphire. She was the apple of her wealthy noble couple's eye, and they pampered and adored her more than anything.
The couple was invited to an exclusive ball where only the elite of Rome would be present and Sapphire couldn't wait to play with everyone at the ball and show off her charm. But to her dismay, the couple left her behind, as only humans were allowed to attend the event. Sapphire was heartbroken and watched as her owners left without her.
Weeping in her lush chamber, she noticed a sweet young servant girl getting ready to follow the couple to the ball. Sapphire looked up at the girl with pleading eyes, begging her to take her to the ball. Swooned by the little puppy's charm, the girl put a beautiful gold and diamond bracelet around Sapphires neck to blend her in with the dressed-up crowd.
They snuck inside and soon the attention was on Sapphire and her beautiful diamond color. She felt like a princess hopping on the marble floor, her heart filled with joy and happiness with everyone adoring her. But suddenly the noblewoman noticed her wearing her most valuable bracelet and scolded the servant. In a moment of panic, Sapphire ran off into the streets of Rome, feeling sad and alone. The noble couple searched for Sapphire all night and the necklace was long forgotten, but couldn't find her anywhere.
As the sun rose, they find Sapphire playing in the flower garden with birds and butterflies fluttering around the shimmering necklace. Their hearts filled with relief and joy, and they hugged Sapphire tightly. In celebration of their love bond, the noble couple decided to give Sapphire the attention she deserved and had a collar made as beautiful as the bracelet.
Sapphire became a symbol of love, loyalty, and resilience and inspired all noble furry family members in the empire to be gifted beautiful collars as a token of love.
