About Us

Our Vision

To make the pet world more joyful, meaningful, and inclusive—one wag, one story, and one beautifully crafted accessory at a time. We envision a future where diverse voices and unique journeys are celebrated in every detail.

Our Mission

At Misty’s Closet, we create more than stylish products—we build community, connection, and a sense of belonging for pet lovers everywhere.

Every collection is thoughtfully curated or designed in-house, with a focus on independent small, diverse and mission driven makers and businesses. Through our products, stories, and partnerships, we champion intentionality, heritage, and joy.

We exist to uplift every bond between pets and their people—and to inspire our community to shop, gift, and celebrate with heart.


Who We Are

Misty’s Closet is more than a boutique—it’s a purpose-driven pet lifestyle brand inspired by the bond between pets and their people. Born in Chicago in 2023, we design our own signature collections and curate high-quality accessories from independent makers around the world. Every piece reflects love, style, and individuality.

By collaborating with diverse small businesses, we amplify their voices and help build a more inclusive marketplace. Beyond products, our storytelling platforms—like the Swag Meets Wag newsletter and Misty’s Closet Magazine—celebrate joy, community, and representation.

We’re proud to give back by supporting animal welfare organizations across the US. At Misty’s Closet, every collar, bow tie, or basket isn’t just an accessory—it’s part of a legacy of fashion, purpose, and connection.

Recognized as a 2025 Skip Grant Winner for outstanding small business innovation.

A note from our community

“If you love your fur babies like family, then you’ll love Misty’s Closet — and that’s all thanks to the heart and vision of Misha Blackman. She’s not just running an online boutique; she’s creating a space where pet parents can find unique, high-quality products that feel just as special as the pets they love. Every item she curates feels intentional, thoughtful, and full of personality — just like her.”
