The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
Some dogs wear a collar the way they wear their whole personality: a little terrier sitting bolt upright on the sofa, a miniature dachshund trotting ahead on a frosty morning walk. The Sandringham collar sits against their coat the way a well-chosen piece of clothing sits on a person, quietly right.
Each collar is hand-spliced by Laura in her studio in Oxfordshire, working in small batches with marine-grade rope chosen for its suppleness and strength. The technique is traditional rope-splicing, the kind that sailors have trusted for centuries, adapted here into a neat, smooth loop that lies flat against the neck without bulk or stiffness.
The construction means there are no rough edges to catch on fur, no weak points where stitching might fray over time. Because Laura works to order in small runs, Orders are typically dispatched within 8-10 days.
Why we chose this
Laura's hand-splicing is a genuinely rare skill, and the Sandringham collar is proof that the most considered accessories for small dogs are being made quietly, in small studios, by people who care about the craft.
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

- Care

- Made in
- Handmade to order by Oonalfie in Oxfordshire, England.
The Sandringham is constructed from marine-grade rope, selected for its soft hand-feel against delicate necks and its resistance to wear in all weathers. The splice itself replaces any need for stitching or gluing, creating a join that is structurally integral to the rope rather than applied on top of it. Hardware is chosen to complement the rope and suit the finer proportions of miniature and petite breeds.
CareCleaning and everyday care
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, working gently along the rope rather than rubbing across it. Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat, which can affect the integrity of the fibres over time. The marine-grade rope is designed to handle wet conditions, so a damp walk is no cause for concern.
QuestionsAnswers to common questions
What size Small Rope Dog Collar - Sandringham 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.
