The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
Two dogs, one walk, and the quiet satisfaction of both leads coiled neatly into a single hand. Whether you have a spaniel glued to your left heel and a lurcher pulling gently ahead, this lead keeps them together without the tangle, the swapping, or the juggling that makes the morning walk feel like a task rather than a pleasure.
Each lead is cut, stitched, and finished by hand at Cub & Grey's workshop in Worcestershire, using British bridle leather that has been vegetable-tanned to develop a rich, burnished patina with every use. The rotating brass or silver hardware at both attachment points turns a full 360 degrees, so the leather never twists under tension, and the splitter detaches cleanly when you are walking just one dog.
Bridle leather is chosen by working saddlers for a reason: it is dense, water-resistant, and built to withstand years of daily use rather than months. Because every piece is cut and stitched by hand in small batches, availability is genuinely limited, and no two leads come out exactly the same.
Why we chose this
Cub & Grey are doing something rare: genuinely handcrafted British leatherwork with hardware and construction that actually match the material they are paired with.

CareCleaning and everyday care
Caring for Your Leather
Our products are crafted from premium British bridle leather - a natural material that develops a beautiful patina over time. With proper care, your collar or lead will last for years.
Cleaning
For everyday dirt and mud:
- Use a barely damp cloth to wipe the surface
- Lay flat and allow to dry naturally
- Never scrub or soak
Important: Never use direct heat (radiators, hairdryers, or direct sunlight) to dry leather. Heat makes leather brittle and can cause cracking.
Water Exposure
If your leather gets wet:
- Wipe off excess moisture with a soft cloth
- Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature
- Once dry, apply leather balm to restore suppleness
After saltwater (beach or sea):
- Rinse immediately with a damp cloth to remove salt residue
- Salt is corrosive, so removing it quickly prevents damage
- Allow to dry naturally, then condition
Conditioning
Regular conditioning keeps leather soft and extends its life.
We recommend:
- Apply a natural leather balm every few months
- More frequently if the leather looks dry or feels stiff
- Use products made from natural ingredients (beeswax, oils)
Benefits of conditioning:
- Maintains suppleness and flexibility
- Reduces visible marks and scratches
- Enhances water resistance
- Develops a rich, deep patina
Colour Transfer
Our leather is naturally dyed using traditional vegetable tanning methods. This means:
- Colours may transfer to light-coloured fabrics if the leather is saturated
- This is a characteristic of high-quality, naturally-dyed leather
- To prevent transfer, ensure leather is fully dry before contact with fabrics
Storage
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Avoid plastic bags (leather needs to breathe)
- Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading

What is the Leather Double Dog Lead made from?
The lead is made from British bridle leather, a dense, close-grained hide that is vegetable-tanned using traditional methods and dressed with wax to resist moisture and scuffing.

How do I clean and care for the Leather Double Dog Lead?
Everyday cleaning: wipe with a barely damp cloth, then lay flat and let it dry naturally. Never scrub or soak the leather, and never dry it with direct heat (radiators, hairdryers or sunlight) - heat makes leather brittle and can cause it to crack.
Conditioning: apply a natural leather balm every few months, or sooner if the leather feels dry, to keep it supple and water-resistant and to build a rich patina over time.

What Cub & Grey Owners Say
We LOVE Cub & Grey!!! In fact we love them so much we have a collar in every colour with leads to match including the 3m long hands free/ training lead. Exceptional quality and beautifully crafted collars and leads that get attention and comments wherever we go. They look stunning and fit so well. Mia is certainly the most stylish dog in the park- if only I looked as good!!Mia London, UK
We have two collars and absolutely love the quality. As a pretty chunky chap, Cub & Grey were able to fit an extra hole to make sure the collars fitted perfectly. Not only are they the perfect fit, but when on our adventures, the collars withstand all sorts extreme play, climbing, rolling and exploring, whilst still looking gorgeous!Otto Cheltenham, UK
These collars are so beautiful. The quality is super luxe and we love the finishing touch of being able to add my name to the leather. Our customer service experience was also great and shipping was fast plus gorgeous packaging! Overall highly recommend. Makes a beautiful statement.Tiger Blaze New York, USA
