KRIFF MAYER DOGS is a dogwear line that extends KRIFF MAYER’s brand world to products for dogs. On the official online store, it is listed under a separate brand name and offers categories including T-shirts, hoodies and cardigans, and outerwear. Its products incorporate graphics also used by the parent brand, such as logos, rabbits, college motifs, and cars, as well as features such as water repellency, protection from the cold, and cooling. Its target audience differs from that of the human-focused KRIFF MAYER, KRIFF MAYER LADYS, and KRIFF MAYER KIDS, and its defining feature is that it extends the range of clothing offerings to dogs. Within the family-oriented brand portfolio, it is positioned as the dogwear line that complements the lines for people.
