WHAT'S INCLUDED – PACKAGED WITH LOVE 🖤
Your new collar should feel special right from the moment you unbox it!
That's why every collar arrives lovingly packaged in a high-quality, sturdy magnetic box. It also includes all the important information on proper care and a small sample of our popular training treats for your four-legged friend. 🐾
MATERIAL & COMFORT
For these collars, we use high-quality Italian genuine leather, which is vegetable-tanned and not chrome-tanned.
Each collar is cut by hand from a whole hide by us and then fully handcrafted.
The leather has a particularly beautiful, smooth surface and is comparable in thickness to our well-known BioThane®. That is exactly why we deliberately chose this material.
Thanks to our specially developed Velcro system, the collar can be adjusted continuously and fitted optimally.
The extra soft inner side of the Velcro also serves as a lightweight inner lining for a comfortable feel.
EXTRA PROTECTION & CARE
To ensure your collar arrives in perfect condition, the leather is treated with leather balm and additionally waterproofed by us.
Genuine leather requires a little more care than BioThane®. We therefore recommend treating it regularly with leather balm so that it remains supple and does not dry out or crack.
For cleaning, a soft, slightly damp cloth and lukewarm water are sufficient. Always allow it to dry completely afterwards.
Our prints are also durable. However, you should refrain from using brushes, harsh cleaning agents, and vigorous scrubbing.

A small note:
Leather is a natural product. Small differences in the surface or structure are completely normal. With proper care, a high-quality leather collar can accompany you for many years.
The metal elements are coated. Signs of wear on the coating may develop over time due to friction.
The colors of the leather and the print may also appear slightly different depending on the screen and lighting.
🖤 GENUINE ITALIAN LEATHER
- High-quality, vegetable-tanned cowhide
- Hand-cut & carefully crafted
- Robust, durable & suitable for everyday use
🌿 NATURAL PRODUCT WITH CHARACTER
Genuine leather is not a synthetic material like BioThane® and is allowed to show its history!
- Small differences in texture and surface are normal.
- Scratches and signs of wear can occur and remain permanently visible.
- Over time, leather develops its very own patina.
This is not a flaw, but is part of genuine leather!
🐄 CONSCIOUS CHOICE OF MATERIALS
No animal exclusively for its leather!
Our cowhide comes from the food industry, where the skin is produced as a byproduct. Instead of going unused, it is further processed into high-quality leather.
This makes sensible use of an already existing raw material. A point that is particularly important to us personally!
🔒 ADJUSTABLE & SECURE
Thanks to the particularly soft and flexible Velcro closure, the collar can be adjusted in continuous steps. At the same time, the soft Velcro side serves as a comfortable inner lining. Patented system!
BREAKING LOAD OF THE BUCKLES
- Quick Release buckle: up to 400 kg
- Original COBRA® buckle: up to 18 kN
The values refer exclusively to the buckles, not to the load capacity of the entire collar.
⚠️ GOOD TO KNOW – HARDWARE
Our high-quality metal hardware is partially coated in black.
Due to friction with carabiners, sand, dirt, or other surfaces, visible signs of abrasion can develop over time.
Normal, superficial coating abrasion is material-related and does not affect the function of the hardware.

🖤 GENUINE LEATHER NEEDS A LITTLE LOVE!
To keep your leather collar looking beautiful for as long as possible, it needs a little care.
Unlike BioThane®, genuine leather can absorb moisture. Especially since the collar is regularly bent and stressed when worn, it is important to keep the leather supple and protect it from drying out.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CARE FOR IT?
- 🐾 With regular use: Check about once a month and refresh the protection if necessary.
- 🖤 With occasional use: Caring for the leather about 3–4 times a year is usually sufficient.
Less is sometimes more! Too much leather care can oversaturate the material. Therefore, it is better to care for your collar as needed.
01. 🧼 CLEAN GENTLY
For light soiling, a soft, slightly damp cloth is completely sufficient.
- For heavier soiling, a mild saddle soap suitable for leather can help. Check its compatibility beforehand.
- Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, alcohol, or solvents.
- No hard brushes or vigorous scrubbing!
ATTENTION: Our HANDPAINTED & PRINTED designs in particular should be cleaned carefully to avoid damaging the motifs.
02. 💨 DRY PROPERLY
Pat the collar dry with a soft towel and then let it dry completely in the air.
- Do not place it on a heater.
- No intense heat or direct sunlight.
- Do not continue caring for it until the leather is completely dry.
03. 🐝 CARE FOR THE LEATHER
Personally, we use a high-quality beeswax balm to keep the leather supple and protect it from drying out.
HOW TO DO IT:
- Apply a small amount of balm to a soft sponge or cloth.
- Apply thinly to the entire collar with gentle, circular motions, including the motifs.
- Let it soak in completely and remove excess balm with a soft cloth.
LESS IS MORE! You only need a small amount. Too much care can leave unsightly residue.
⚠️ NOTE ON OTHER CARE PRODUCTS
Of course, you can also use other suitable leather waxes or leather balms. However, since their ingredients differ, we cannot guarantee that they are compatible with our HANDPAINTED and PRINTED designs.
We therefore recommend the beeswax balm we use, with which we ourselves have had the best experiences.
04. 🛡️ PROTECT WITH NB PROTECT
Finally, we recommend our NB PROTECT Spray.
It forms an ultra-thin protective film that makes water bead off better and additionally protects the leather from moisture.
HOW TO DO IT:
- Shake the bottle well and spray the clean, dry collar evenly.
- Carefully spread with a soft microfiber cloth to ensure all areas are covered.
- Let dry completely.
IMPORTANT: The protective film can take up to 24 hours to fully cure. For the best possible protection, we recommend not using the collar again until after that.
If the beading effect decreases, you can refresh the protection at any time.
⚠️ A FEW MORE IMPORTANT TIPS
- 💧 Not waterproof: Leather should not be used for swimming or left permanently wet.
- 🖤 Natural material: Scratches, crease marks, and a natural patina are part of genuine leather.
- 🎨 Protect the motifs: Strong friction, aggressive cleaning agents, and improper care can damage paintings and prints.
- 🧴 Care products: Please always use them on the removed collar and preferably in a well-ventilated area.
GOOD TO KNOW: Each of our leather collars is already cared for with beeswax balm and treated with NB PROTECT before shipping. So you can wear it right away!
FAQs
Yes – unless it was personalized or custom-made for you.
If your collar is not custom-made, unpersonalized, and unused , you can return it within the usual timeframe.
If the collar has engraving or a special request, an exchange is unfortunately not possible.
If you are unsure about the size or width: Just contact us – we are happy to help you before you order.
Yes, a little rain is no problem! Thanks to our waterproofing treatment, the leather is water-repellent. However, you should avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or swimming.
Both buckles operate on the same principle and work reliably. Our standard quick-release buckles are high-quality and have a breaking strength of approx.400 kg— which is more than sufficient for most dog breeds.
Upon request, we can also make your collar with the original COBRA® buckle by AustriAlpin . This professional buckle has an even higher breaking strength of around 900 kg and originally comes from the climbing and military sectors.
No, don't worry! The rougher part of the hook-and-loop fastener is only used for size adjustment and does not come into contact with your dog's neck.
The area that touches the neck consists of the soft part of the hook-and-loop fastener – a particularly high-quality industrial hook-and-loop fastener that is durable, flexible, and comfortable on the skin. It has no sharp edges and is designed to lie softly and comfortably on the neck, even when moving.
Yes and no.
The splatter design is applied with a special dye and then sealed. A similar process has been used in the shoe industry for years, for example.
Nevertheless, you should avoid cleaning the collar with abrasive brushes or harsh cleaning agents. Lukewarm water—with a little mild soap if necessary—is usually more than enough.
