Rope Dog Collar - Cretan Adventure
Hand-spliced in Oxfordshire from marine grade polyester double braid rope, the Cretean Adventure collar pairs indigo with baby blue and gold hardware. The non-rust bronze clasp and solid brass O-ring are built to last well beyond five years of daily use.
The Story
There is a particular kind of dog who knows exactly where they belong: out front, leading the way, collar catching the light as they trot ahead of you on a morning walk. The Cretan Adventure collar, with its deep indigo, soft baby blue, and glints of gold, looks as good on a windswept clifftop as it does at a Saturday farmers' market.
Each collar is hand-spliced by Laura in her Oxfordshire studio using double-braid marine rope, the same construction trusted to hold boats in harbour. The hardware is solid bronze throughout: a non-rust bronze clasp and a solid brass O-ring for attaching a lead or ID tag. Nothing is mass-produced, and every splice is finished by hand.
Marine rope is built to resist water, UV, and daily wear, so this collar will outlast the trends it sits alongside. Because each piece is made to order in small batches, Orders are typically dispatched within 8-10 days.
Why we chose this
Laura's hand-spliced collars are made with the same rope used in marine rigging, and that level of material integrity, combined with genuinely considered colour, is exactly what we look for at Deluxe Pet Co.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size Rope Dog Collar - Cretan Adventure does my dog need, and how do I measure?
Available in five sizes. Measurements are internal circumference (the size of the finished collar loop). Because our collars are crafted from 3D rope, the most accurate way to size is to measure the internal circumference of a collar your dog already wears comfortably. If your dog has no collar, measure gently around the base of the neck where the collar will sit, keeping the tape comfortably snug, then choose the size whose range includes your measurement.
X-Small: 28 - 32 cm | Small: 33 - 38 cm | Medium: 39 - 44 cm | Large: 45 - 48 cm | X-Large: 49 - 58 cm
Final check: a correctly sized collar should not pull easily over your dog's head. Prefer an exact fit? Custom sizes (in cm) are available at no extra cost. Add your measurement in the order notes at checkout, or email us and we will craft it to size.
Available options - size: X-Small (28-32cm), Small (33-38cm), Medium (39-44cm), Large (45-48cm), X-Large (49-58cm).
What is the Rope Dog Collar - Cretan Adventure made from?
The Cretan Adventure collar is made from double-braid marine rope in indigo, baby blue, and gold. The clasp is solid bronze, resistant to rust and corrosion, and the O-ring for lead and tag attachment is solid brass. Available in three rope diameters depending on size: 6 mm for the smallest dogs, 8 mm for petit builds, and 10 mm for Classic sizes, each matched to a proportionate bronze clasp.
How do I clean and care for the Rope Dog Collar - Cretan Adventure?
Marine rope is designed to get wet and recover well: rinse the collar in clean water after muddy or salt-water outings and allow it to air dry away from direct heat. The solid bronze and brass hardware will develop a gentle patina over time, which only adds to its character. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
