Hand Stitched Coco Classic Lead in Foresta Brown
The Coco Classic hand stitched range of traditionally designed leads come with the addition of a hand stitched finish available in a selection of different thread colours, to compliment your choice of leather colour. (If you want a specific thread colour not shown please let me know and we’ll try our best to accommodate you).
Every lead comes with a D ring in the handle which the trigger can clip into and is very handy to loop around your waist or over your shoulder when your dog is off the lead.
Handmade in our workshop, this lead has been hand cut from one of the finest full grain, 100% vegetable tanned leather from Walpier. This is matched up with an equally premium British made, solid brass or nickel-plated brass trigger clip, rivets and D ring. Solid brass is resistant to rust and very strong ensuring the safety of your dog.
The lead is then stitched by hand using strong, bonded nylon thread, to give the collar a sophisticated and stylish look.
The leather will evolve over time with wear as the dog oils, outdoors and life are absorbed, creating a beautiful and unique patina.
Please note, leather is a natural product so there may be small variations in colour and markings.

Our leathers will naturally evolve over time with a gorgeous patina effect as different oils and life are absorbed. That said, if you do need to clean it, please follow the below guidelines to ensure a long lasting product.
- If you get the leather wet, let it dry naturally. Don’t put it on a radiator.
- Before drying, wipe with a damp cloth to clean off any dirt.
- Once dry, ideally apply either Neats foot oil or a leather cream in small circles using a soft cotton cloth.
- Leave to dry and remove any excess residue.
- This process can also be used to help remove or reduce any unwanted scratches or wear from the leather.
- Always remove the collar before applying flea treatments as these products can damage the leather and/or paint finish when wet
Please note, leather is a natural product and when dyed, some colours can leech if they become wet. It rarely happens, however, if any, most likely with the red leather. Although the dye is totally harmless, if you have a white or light coloured dog that enjoys splashing in water it may stain their fur initially. Please call me if you would like further information.
Also, if your dog pulls hard on the collar after swimming or getting the leather very wet, it is more likely to stretch as the leather will lose its suppleness and elasticity.
