The collection

Each collar is a one-off. The tie can't be exactly replicated, so the collar in the photos is the only collar that looks like it. New collars are added every couple of weeks; if you see one you like, don't wait too long because it'll only ever be one.

The Classic

Our standard collar shape. Side-release plastic buckle, sturdy D-ring for leash attachment, soft fleece backing for comfort against the dog's neck. Made from a single vintage necktie with the tie's pattern centred on the collar face.

$48

$52

Italian silk paisley — Medium

1970s Italian silk tie in deep burgundy with a fine paisley pattern. Hand-rolled edges visible on the original tie. The dog who's been quietly elegant for years.

$48

Mid-century geometric — Small

1960s polyester tie with a small repeating diamond pattern in olive and cream. The dog who's just discovered they have taste.

$58

Wool tartan — Large

Late-1980s wool tie in a Black Watch tartan. For the dog whose family roots are confidently Scottish (or aspirationally so).

$62

Hand-painted floral — Medium (Button-down)

1950s tie with a hand-painted floral spray running down its length. Properly delicate; we'd suggest this collar for indoor wear and special-occasions, not muddy walks.

Sizing

Measure your dog's neck with a soft tape measure, snug but not tight (you should be able to fit two fingers between the tape and the neck). The size ranges above are adjustable — order the size that puts your dog's measurement in the middle of the range rather than at one extreme.

If your dog is between sizes, write to me before ordering. Sometimes I can adjust the buckle position on a Classic to extend the range slightly.

Materials

Care

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. The silk and wool ties are not machine-washable. Air dry; don't tumble dry. Avoid soaking in chlorinated pool water (will fade older silk ties quickly).

Shipping

US shipping via USPS — $5 standard, $12 expedited. Most orders ship within 3–5 business days. International shipping available; rates calculated at checkout.
