The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
There is something quietly wonderful about a small dog wearing something made entirely by hand. Whether it is a miniature dachshund threading between chair legs or a toy poodle settling into someone's lap, the right collar becomes part of how they carry themselves, soft against the throat, neat at the neck.
Each collar in the Royal range is hand-spliced by Laura in her Oxfordshire studio, working in small batches with marine-grade rope chosen for its suppleness and strength. The splicing technique, borrowed from traditional seafaring craft, creates a join with no metal crimps or crude knots, just a clean, tapered finish that sits flush against your dog's neck and holds its shape wash after wash.
Made to fit the smallest breeds with the most precise sizing, the Miniature and Petite options ensure a true fit rather than a compromised one. Because each collar is hand-spliced to order in limited runs, Orders are typically dispatched within 8-10 days.
Why we chose this
Laura's hand-spliced rope collars are the kind of thing you notice up close and remember long after, made with a level of craft that mass production simply cannot replicate.
Size & fitMeasurements and how to fit
Available in two sizes. All measurements are internal circumference - measure around the inside of your dog's current collar, not around the neck. The 3D nature of the rope means measuring an existing collar gives a more accurate fit.
Miniature (6 mm rope): 22 - 26 cm | Petite (8 mm rope): 27 - 31 cm

The collar is constructed from marine-grade rope selected for its combination of softness against the skin and long-term structural integrity. The hand-splicing technique eliminates the need for metal crimps or stitched joins, producing a finish that is as neat on the inside as it is on the outside. Hardware: solid brass and solid bronze throughout, chosen to age gracefully rather than corrode.
CareCleaning and everyday care
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. The marine-grade rope is robust, but prolonged soaking or machine washing is not recommended as it may affect the integrity of the splice over time. Inspect the collar periodically, particularly at the join, to ensure it remains in good condition.
QuestionsAnswers to common questions
What size Small Rope Dog Collar - Royal does my dog need, and how do I measure?
Available in two 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.
Miniature (6 mm rope): 22 - 26 cm | Petite (8 mm rope): 27 - 31 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.
