Coco Classic Collar in Mustard Yellow with Black painted edge
Handmade in our workshop, this collar has been hand cut from one of the finest full grain, vegetable tanned leather from Walpier. This is matched up with an equally premium British made, solid brass or nickel-plated brass roller buckle, rivets and D ring. Cast solid brass is resistant to rust and very strong ensuring the safety of even the most wilful four legged friend.
The collar is then edge dyed by hand using high quality, waterproof, non toxic water based acrylic leather paint.
If you have a specific paint colour not shown here please let us know and will do our best to accommodate you.
The collar will evolve over time with wear as the dog’s oils are absorbed into the leather creating a beautiful and unique patina, an ongoing record of your adventures in a way.
Please note, leather is a natural product so there may be small variations in colour and markings.

Collar Size Guide
One of the benefits of having a handmade collar is that every collar we make is tailored to fit your dog’s neck perfectly, with a little room either side to tighten or loosen giving you options if needed.
To measure your collar size either use an existing collar you’re happy with or simply use a tape measure, wrap it around the dog’s neck as shown in the picture. Measurements run from the butt of the collar (The buckle end not including the buckle itself) to the holes the other end. The middle hole should be the one ideally used.

Measuring for a classic dog collar
Step 1
Get your dog to stand still is often the hardest challenge! Then using a piece of tape, string or anything really, wrap it around the middle of the dog’s neck so it’s touching the fur but not pulled really tight. Please use our illustration for if you’re unsure.
Step 2
Now compare your measurements to the standard sizes we make. All collars come with 3 or 5 holes, the middle hole being the one you should ideally use. If your dog’s neck doesn’t quite fit with our standard sizes please let us know and we can make a bespoke collar to your exact needs. Let us know by dropping us a note to bespoke@CocoandBlu.co.uk
Please be aware, all dogs vary in size even from the same breed to the above guide is not a guarantee on size. If possible, always measure your dog before ordering.
