The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
There is something quietly wonderful about a small dog who knows they look the part. The Silver Birch collar sits against a fine coat the way a well-chosen piece of clothing sits on a person: effortlessly right, as though it could never have been any other colour.
Each collar is hand-spliced by Laura in her Oxfordshire studio, working in small batches with marine-grade rope in a soft, natural Silver Birch colourway. The splicing technique, borrowed from traditional seafaring craft, creates a join with no stitching and no weak points, just a continuous, clean loop of rope that holds its shape wash after wash.
The construction is built to outlast the puppy years and the muddy ones that follow. Because Laura works to order in limited runs, Orders are typically dispatched within 8-10 days.
Why we chose this
Laura's hand-spliced collars are the kind of thing you notice on another dog and immediately want to know where it came from, and that reaction told us everything we needed to know.
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 in a Silver Birch colourway, chosen for its softness against the skin and its resistance to wear. The hand-splicing method joins the rope without any stitching, leaving a smooth, seamless finish that sits comfortably against even the finest or most sensitive coats. Hardware details are kept minimal and in keeping with the collar's understated character.
CareCleaning and everyday care
Rinse the collar in cool, clean water after muddy or saltwater walks and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Marine-grade rope is designed to get wet and recover well, but avoid machine washing where possible to preserve the integrity of the hand-spliced join. A well-cared-for collar will soften and settle beautifully with wear.
QuestionsAnswers to common questions
What size Small Rope Dog Collar - Silver Birch 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.
