  • Built for real walks

    Soft in the hand, colourfast, and it won't hold water or mud after a wet York walk. Rinse it and it dries.

  • Stainless steel throughout

    Every clip, ring and fitting is stainless steel — no plating to flake, no rust after river swims.

  • Your colours, not ours

    Each piece is braided and spliced to order, so you choose the rope shades and the whipping that ties them together.

Colours & finishes

Pick the rope, then pick the whipping.

The braid that wraps the handle and the splices is where the colour really lands. Here is some of what has gone out of the workshop so far — if you have a combination in mind that isn't shown, just ask.

What people say

Rated 5.0 from 4 reviews on Etsy.

  • It came beautifully packaged and the quality is excellent. It feels incredibly sturdy and gives me confidence that my dog is safe and secure on every walk. It can be adjusted to multiple lengths, and even has a hands-free option. The movable handle is another brilliant touch — it's clear a lot of thought has gone into the design.

  • Couldn't be happier with the collar. The quality is great and clearly made to last, while still being comfortable for my dog. I love how unique it is — not just another generic collar, and we've already received so many compliments.

  • Communication was clear, and the order was processed and shipped faster than expected. Sturdy, well made, and clearly crafted with care. The fit is perfect and comfortable for my dog, and it looks fantastic.

  • A beautiful collar — I love that I got to choose my own colours. Delivery was really prompt and the whole buying process was easy. Love how strong the collar is; it makes me comfortable knowing it isn't going to snap like some others do.
