The triple-layer premium construction features a striking top layer of genuine goat leather with an exclusive snake print design, supported by two thick layers of premium full-grain buffalo leather.
Drum dyed and vegetable tanned for rich colour and lasting quality, the collar measures a substantial 8.5 mm in total thickness.
Every piece is handcrafted by professional artisans
with many years of experience, using only the finest handpicked, highest-quality leather.
We take pride in our zero waste craftsmanship manufacturing, where every item is produced with careful attention to minimise material waste and maximise sustainability.

The iconic solid brass fittings add both beauty and strength throughout – featuring a polished chrome finish, solid D-ring, heavy-duty roller buckle, solid brass Stafford knot, plus a distinctive solid brass Celtic knot and bar concho.
Collar specifications: 5/8 inch (16 mm) width, with a full leather-to-leather length of 20 inches. Adjustment holes are positioned at 15 – 18.5 inches, allowing the collar to fit neck sizes from 12 – 16.5 inches.
The matching lead measures 43 inches leather-to-leather (45 inches including clip) and is crafted to the exact same premium triple-layer quality and leather as the collar, creating a perfectly coordinated set.
Sizing Tip:
To ensure the best fit, measure your dog’s current collar from leather to leather (excluding the buckle) and note the position of the holes for their desired size. Because this collar is significantly thicker at 8.5 mm, we recommend allowing approximately 0.5 inch (or so) of extra room compared to thinner collars for maximum comfort.

Vegetable-tanned leather is a premium, traditional method using natural plant tannins instead of modern chrome salts. It is widely regarded as superior for durability and character, producing leather that develops a rich, unique patina over time as it absorbs oils and use.It often starts firmer and stiffer than chrome-tanned leather, but gradually softens and becomes more supple with wear and conditioning. Because the process is slow (taking weeks rather than hours), requires skilled craftsmanship, and uses more resources, vegetable-tanned leather is significantly more expensive and more difficult/time-consuming to produce and work with. Many manufacturers avoid it in favour of faster, cheaper chrome tanning — but for heirloom-quality, eco-friendly pieces, nothing compares.

Full-grain leather is the highest-grade and most premium form of genuine leather. It uses the top layer of the hide with the natural grain left completely intact, making it superior to top-grain leather (which is sanded for a uniform look) and far better than lower-grade "genuine leather" (often made from split hides with heavy coatings).It is the most robust and durable option, offering excellent strength, scratch resistance, and a beautiful patina that improves with age. New full-grain leather often feels harder and stiffer at first, but it gradually softens and becomes supple as it absorbs natural oils and use over time.Because of the careful hide selection and minimal processing, it is significantly more expensive. It is also more difficult and time-consuming for artisans to work with, requiring greater skill and care — which is why many manufacturers avoid it in favour of easier, cheaper alternatives. For heirloom-quality pieces, nothing compares.
