IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THIS COLLAR/DESIGN: This collar is part of our made to order collection. Made to order collars are different from our permanent collections. They are new designs that are limited in time. These limited editions are an opportunity to get original collars we don’t typically carry. Contrary to our permanent collections, these collars are not delivered within 3 days as we do not keep them in our U.S inventory ready to ship. They are made from scratch in Brazil when your order is placed. The collar will then ship to our U.S location where we will prepare and send the order to you. 

On top of getting a top-notch collar, your purchase saves dog lives while financially empowering skilled artisan women! We donate 10% of profits to no-kill shelters in the US. Remaining of the profits provide financial independence to a small community in Brazil.

  Our dog collars are luxury master pieces, completely unique and handmade by artisan women in Brazil. The vibrant colors, sun reflecting beads and unique design will make your little baby shine. Our pieces use full grain leather which is the highest rating for leather quality. Because full grain leather has the full, complete grain of the hide, it is the most durable leather and is solely used by luxury brands. This feature makes this collar very flexible and comfortable for your fur baby. Our leather is treated with organic beeswax which makes it suitable for outdoor activities such as hiking and the beach. Please note that our leather is purposely un-dyed and very pliable to provide your little pup with the highest comfort. Each bead is made of unbreakable glass and stitched one by one following the ancient Brazilian tradition of “tear beading” to make the stitching indestructible. This stitching method allows for resistance to scratching so you can be assured that the beads will not fall off. The strong buckles are water resistant, so mud and water playdates are allowed. This association of high-end materials combined with artisanal expertise in the manufacturing process make our collars very long lasting and unique. Please note that your purchase will contribute to the sustainable development and empowerment of artisan women from the community of Araxa in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
