Rope Dog Collar - Seychelles
Hand-spliced in Oxfordshire from marine grade polyester double braid rope, the Seychelles collar pairs pale pink with grey for a tonal, understated colourway. The non-rust bronze clasp and solid brass O-ring are fitted to rope structured for years of daily use.
The Story
The moment your fingers brush the hand-spliced rope, you'll feel the difference - soft marine-grade cotton that won't fray, each knot tied by Laura at Oonalfie with the precision of someone who understands rope. The Seychelles colourway captures that exact shade of shallow turquoise water meeting pale sand, grounded by solid brass hardware that'll age beautifully without tarnishing. This is a collar built to be noticed, not because of what's written on the tag, but because of how it sits around your dog's neck.
Each collar is hand-spliced by Laura in her Oxfordshire studio, working in small batches with marine-grade rope chosen for its suppleness against the neck and its resistance to the elements. The splicing technique, traditionally used in sailing and rigging, creates joins without hardware or glue, so the collar holds its structure through years of use rather than months.
The rope resists moisture, mud, and the general chaos of dog ownership, and can be gently hand-washed when needed. Because each piece is hand-spliced to order in small batches, Orders are typically dispatched within 8-10 days.
Why we chose this
Laura's hand-splicing technique produces a collar with structural integrity that mass-manufactured webbing simply cannot match, and the Seychelles colourway earns its place on any dog worth dressing well.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size Rope Dog Collar - Seychelles 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.

What is the Rope Dog Collar - Seychelles made from?
The Seychelles collar is made from marine-grade rope, selected for its softness against the skin and its natural resistance to water and abrasion. Joins are formed entirely through hand-splicing, a technique borrowed from traditional rigging work, which means no stitching to fray and no glued seams to fail over time.
How do I clean and care for the Rope Dog Collar - Seychelles?
Hand-wash gently in cool water with a mild soap, then reshape and leave to air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing, which can distort the splice and shorten the life of the collar significantly.
