Rope Dog Collar - Northern Lights
Hand-spliced in Oxfordshire from marine grade polyester double braid rope, the Northern Lights collar pairs dark green with midnight grey for a deep, subdued colourway suited to year-round outdoor use. The non-rust bronze clasp and solid brass O-ring are built to last through daily walks in all weathers.
The Story
The moment your dog bounds back from a morning walk and flops at your feet, collar glinting in the light, you notice it: that particular satisfaction of owning something made with genuine care. The Northern Lights collar catches the eye the way its namesake does, shifting and shimmering depending on the angle, the mood, the moment.
Each collar is hand-spliced by Laura in her Oxfordshire studio, working in small batches to a standard that machine production simply cannot replicate. The rope construction uses a carefully chosen blend selected for its softness against the neck and its resistance to the kind of daily punishment a dog's life demands, finished with hardware chosen to sit flush and secure against an active dog's movement.
Because the splicing is done by hand and to order, every collar arrives with the kind of finish you notice when you fasten it for the first time. Orders are typically dispatched within 8-10 days.
Why we chose this
Laura's hand-spliced collars from her Oxfordshire studio represent the kind of considered, small-batch making we look for: genuinely crafted rather than simply assembled.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size Rope Dog Collar - Northern Lights 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 - Northern Lights made from?
The Northern Lights collar is constructed from hand-spliced rope, worked by Laura in her Oxfordshire studio. The hardware is selected for strength and smooth operation against the rope construction, ensuring the collar sits securely without snagging or fraying at the fastening point. The colourway draws on the shifting blues, greens, and purples of the aurora, woven through the rope to give depth rather than a flat, printed finish.
How do I clean and care for the Rope Dog Collar - Northern Lights?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, working gently along the rope to lift dirt without disturbing the splice. Allow to air dry fully away from direct heat before refastening on your dog. Avoid prolonged soaking or machine washing, which can affect the integrity of the hand-spliced construction over time.
