Made to be together.

The everyday errands. The quiet weekends away. The long drives, first flights, and places we have yet to discover. Our pets are part of the way we live, and we believe the things we bring them in should reflect that.

Xkins was created to make traveling and moving through life with your pet feel more thoughtful, effortless, and beautifully considered. We design pet travel essentials that bring together comfort, function, and timeless design; pieces made not only to carry your pet, but to give them a familiar space of their own wherever life takes you.

It speaks to the way we design — bringing thoughtful details, purposeful function, and considered form together in every Xkins piece. But at its heart, it means something much more.

It is the belief that everyday moments feel warmer, unfamiliar places feel closer, and every journey means a little more when they are beside you.

Our namesake, Xkinny, is a rescued Aspin who was once known simply as Skinny – a name given to her because of how thin she was when she was rescued. When she found her way home, Skinny became Xkinny, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life and, eventually, ours.

Xkinny’s transformation became a quiet reminder of what love and second chances can make possible. From a dog once abandoned to one who finally found love and belonging, her story showed us how profoundly a life can change when given a second chance.

We started with a desire to create pet carriers thoughtfully designed for both sides of the journey: comfortable and reassuring for them, functional and beautiful for the people carrying them. Pieces made for everyday outings, road trips, flights, weekends away, and wherever life together might lead.

What began with pet carriers has grown into something bigger. Today, Xkins continues to create thoughtful pieces designed around the way we live, move, and experience the world with our pets, bringing together purposeful function, considered design, and the comfort of having them by our side.

Our name will always carry a piece of Xkinny’s story. But the heart of Xkins belongs to every pet and every person who believes that life’s most meaningful moments are the ones we share.
