I often wonder about all the collars I’ve made and sent out to their hounds, and ponder how they are holding up. So nice to get some feedback recently. This is Jess, who has been wearing her handmade collar now for almost 18 months. I was so happy to receive this lovely photo with a message saying “the collar (not surprisingly) still looks great”. This is why I do what I do! 😉💞🐾

Meet Mac! The Murray River Retriever. This handsome hound is sporting his new hand made, hand dyed, green and gold collar, with solid brass fittings. When Mac’s people approached me about making him a collar, I knew straight away, on one of the few truly Australian breeds of dog, it had to be green and gold. It probably doesn’t get much more Aussie than this combo.

Vinny’s new collar! I have a feeling Vinny’s mum is more excited than he is about his new collar. 🤣 Tails of Byron Bay

I’m now able to offer a Sedgwick English Bridle leather collar and lead set, with soft foam padded Napa leather lining, fully hand stitched, with solid brass (or stainless steel)fittings. This collar and lead set is the culmination of the past 5 years, honing my skills to make the best possible handmade hound collar and lead set. Reuben has been wearing his for almost 5 months and I’m really happy with it. I’m chipping away at the process of getting my website up and running with a shopping cart coming soon. In the meantime, message me on Facebook to find out colour options and pricing.

I’m back in the workshop after a few weeks of renovations. Im actually working on a room of our home that will be my new workshop. It’s not quite finished yet. Still a fair bit to do but I can’t wait to get my workbench set up in there. In the meantime, another key tag for a friend. 1958 Penny.

I’ve had a bit of interest in the penny key tags. Just wanted to do a post for anyone interested in ordering one.

I have two options available:

If you don’t need to choose a specific year I have some ready-made options made using a cutting die, saving me a bit of time, it’s a slightly different shape, using a nice veg tan 100% Australian sustainable leather. Hand stitched with two contrasting leather colours; These are $65

I can also do a custom made key tag, made to your specifications, with your choice of year (provided we have it) your choice of two colour combo hand dyed leather, hand stitched with contrast colour thread, hand cut using my own designed shape; these are $85.

If anyone would like one…please get in touch soon so I can plan my orders between now and Christmas. 😉

I made this set from a lovely piece of natural veg tanned leather that I bought from a saddler near Casino NSW. I tend to go for saddlery grade leather, especially for bigger dogs, not just for the quality and feel, but also because there is minimal stretch in equestrian grade leather. This customer needed a short lead, also referred to as a traffic lead, for a strong dog who is young and still learning manners only lead. Solid brass fittings and fully hand stitched (saddle stitch) ensures a much stronger collar than rivets can offer. With a bit of leather dressing, I think young Tucker will have this one, good collar for his lifetime. 💞🐾

Just felt a bit creative today! Wrist bands with a pattern embossed. The darker leather is an off cut of Italian leather from a belt I made. The lighter leather I actually dyed used espresso, it turned out really nice and apart from being a nice colour…it smells like coffee! Win, win situation. 😆

This is Ben (the two legged kid) and his best little mate Maxie (the four legged kid). Today is Maxie’s first Birthday and she has had a pretty good day by all accounts. With a special breakfast and treats this morning and this afternoon I dropped in with her new collar and lead set. People often ask me do I only make collars for whippets? I can make a collar for any dog. Large or small, just tell me the size and I can give some options of what I can make. It’s the best thing when I get to see the collar on the dog in a photo. But even better today was actually being there to put the collar on her for the first time and the smile on Ben’s face when he saw his much loved little girl. Made my day! 💞🐾

Lovely Lyria got her new collar recently. This beautiful girl belongs to my niece and when she reached out to me for a collar for her new pup she said “now don’t laugh, but I want a pink collar for her…is that something you can do?” 😉
So here it is! Pink Herman Oak leather, with suede lining, fully hand stitched plus stainless steel fittings. I think Lyria would look good with any collar, but she sure looks pretty in pink!

Meet Koda! This handsome chap recently hit the jackpot when he found his forever home with the best family ever. From a cage at the pound to a couch of his own, this little guy has made such an impression on his new family, they wanted to get him a special collar that reflected his new found status in the world and their hearts. This is Herman Oak leather, dyed royal blue with a rolled red nappa leather lining. It has solid brass fittings, hand stitched in a heavy red thread and his name stamped into the leather. Koda is absolutely living his best life. 💞🐾

It’s been a busy week with the collar making for me. These are some Italian Greyhound collars, that are bound for Ipswich, QLD. Really happy with how the colours have turned out. I had to order different coloured threads and backing leather for the pink collar for this order, but it all came together well.

I did a western style collar making workshop last weekend in Wagga. Always good to broaden your skills. I learned a lot more about embossing leather and how to buck stitch so look out for some fancy western style collars coming soon. Thanks to Wendy from Southern Spur Trading for sharing your knowledge, great to meet someone so dedicated to their craft.

Spanish Braid now available. A nice way to add a little something special to a collar. I learned this technique for some hat bands that I made. Looks great on a collar too.
