The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
Your dog pulls hard on the first corner, and the rope - thick nautical cotton, hand-spliced by Laura in Oxfordshire - doesn't slip or fray in your grip. The brass trigger clip catches the light as your dog settles into pace, and you realise you're holding something made to last, not replaced. This is what happens when a lead is actually built to withstand a decade of muddy walks and enthusiastic pulling.
Each Clip Rope lead is hand-spliced by Laura in her studio in Oxfordshire, using traditional marine-grade rope splicing techniques that take time to learn and longer to perfect. The rope itself is robust and smooth-handling, with a solid trigger clip that closes with the kind of reassuring click that tells you it is done properly.
Because every lead is made individually and in small batches, Orders are typically dispatched within 8-10 days. It sits comfortably in your palm on a long country walk and holds its shape walk after walk, year after year.
Why we chose this
Laura's hand-splicing is a genuine craft skill, and the result is a lead you reach for every single day without thinking twice.
