About Us custom
We make two things, and we make them properly: the collar and the lead. Every piece is cut, stitched and burnished by hand in small batches from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, then finished with solid brass and a nameplate we engrave ourselves.
It starts firm, softens to your dog’s shape, and only grows more beautiful with every walk in the park. Nothing here is made to be replaced next season. custom

Stiff for the first fortnight, then it relaxed into the loveliest handle. Be patient with it.Marcus D., Leeds

The Windsor Collar
I measured twice and still worried. It fits like it was cut for her — which, it turns out, it was.Priya N., Manchester
Yes — that is what a matching set is. Both pieces are cut from one hide so the grain and colour agree exactly, which is not something you can guarantee when buying them separately.
Add your dog’s name and a contact number at checkout and we hand-engrave the brass plate before the collar is assembled. Up to 14 characters on the top line and 16 on the second. Engraved pieces take an extra two days.
Solid brass develops a warm darker tone with handling, which most owners come to prefer. If you want the original brightness back, a soft cloth and a little brass polish restores it in a minute.
A rain-soaked walk or a swim will not harm it. Dry it naturally rather than on a radiator, which is what actually cracks leather. Prolonged saltwater exposure will dull the finish faster, so rinse after a beach day.
Very little is needed. Wipe with a barely damp cloth, let it dry away from direct heat, and work in a small amount of neutral leather balm two or three times a year. The patina that develops is the point — resist the urge to polish it away.
It will soften and take your dog’s shape over the first few weeks, but vegetable-tanned full-grain does not stretch out the way bonded leather does. Check the fit monthly on a growing puppy.
