CrazyCresties Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Just going to throw another one into the mix for you if you are thinking 'pretty' :) http://www.hollyandlil.co.uk/ My cocker wore his cowhide one in forests and the beach where it got hammered but lasted beautifully. They have custom made me ones for my cresties, which look as good as new several years later. Look at the Boho and Charms ones - not for rough housing, but they are certainly pretty :) I think there are some HV's in the gallery. http://www.hollyandlil.co.uk/index.asp?function=WEBPAGE&page=17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sail_Away Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 hahaha sorry everyone! Maybe you can all live vicariously through me and help design the collar for me??? I'm totally stumped! Can't even decide on the colour leather I want! So feel free to suggest options for my Hungarian Vizsla and the bling I should use… hehe. I have decided to go with Ruthless Leather because the quality looks second to none and it's Australian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I already suggested on facebook I think burgundy and brass would look nice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sail_Away Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I already suggested on facebook I think burgundy and brass would look nice :) I just saw… I didn't realise Ruth put a pic up Looks like the general consensus is burgundy… that's what I was leaning toward too…my girl is quite a rich red and I wasn't sure if it would clash though. I like the brass too… hmm but what about bling.. pink… amber… she has amber coloured eyes. Decisions decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the brass too… hmm but what about bling.. pink… amber… she has amber coloured eyes. Decisions decisions... Cocoa's colouring is almost identical to your girl and her collar is Burgundy. I also wasn't 100% sure if it would clash initially, and I initially also said no pink gemstones because I was SURE they would clash. Ruth said I was wrong... and she was right!! LOL. I brought Cocoa over and tried her dog Angel's collar on her, which was Burgundy leather with pink stones and it looked GREAT! So I admitted defeat and I'm so glad I did!

Gertrude139 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Have you picked which style you want? Some of them like the hearts on Cocoa's collar only come in certain colour bling. I would have thought the burgundy and pink on Cocoa would clash too, until I saw the picture and I absolutely love it, one of my fave collars of all time I think.

ruthless Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The Swarovski crystals are available in many colours with silver, brass or aged brass settings, but as Gertrude said the Heart Throb is only available in silver, encrusted with pink or blue crystals. If sail_away wants amber bling it can be paired with an Asteroid Belt or a Sweetheart (probably other designs too but I'm away from my computer at the moment).

Mystiqview Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I plait leather and make plaited ones. They will not be as sturdy as a strap leather collar and lead, but still are strong. It really depends on what you are looking for. Just a couple of samples of my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackJaq Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Nice! But I think the OP has received her Ruthless collar and lead now, pretty sure I saw the photo on ruthless' fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I LOVE my Paco collars :p the only other custom leather I have had is Ella's lead and while the collar looked stunning at first, it didn't hold up at all, after a year it looked awful and the colour started bleeding out and discolouring my dogs fur etc.. my Paco's vary in age from a few years old to a few months old and they all look new, and my dogs are VERY hard on their stuff.

Sail_Away Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yep that was my girl on the Ruthless FB BlackJaq Here is a pic of her wearing her new custom made burgundy Ruthless collar & lead! I'm so in love with it. Quality is outstanding and I'm really happy with the colour and design! I got so many comments at obedience however, unfortunately the next day she came into season so I can't show it off for a few more weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSoSwift Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) that is just lovely and the colour suits her so well. Sailor is a stunner as well :) Edited November 23, 2013 by OSoSwift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melzawelza Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It looks fantastic Sail_Away! Very similar to Cocoa's - she has that same gorgeous red coat, that colour leather and that bling just goes SO well doesn't it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
