Sustainability
Sustainability is really important to Seldom Found. Slow design and heritage practices are a key factor of your products. The leather I use is sourced from the UK for this product using the world famous Vegetable tanned Walpier Buttero from a family run Italian tannery using leather destined for waste from the consumption market. No chemicals have been used to tan this leather making it sustainable and biodegradable. All packaging is plastic free as standard and every product has been hand cut and saddle-stitched by hand.
Fitting
It is very important to fit your collar correctly. For a standard dog……Take a tape measure and wrap snug around the mid neck where your dog’s collar will comfortably fit with 2 fingers flat underneath. This will be your collar size. Try and get a collar that fits the size near central…ie if your dog’s neck size is 13.5” get a size Medium collar (12-15”) size.
Looking after your collar
Leather needs to be looked after and is not suitable for regular swimming . If the leather gets wet, take off and allow to dry naturally. To clean the collar, use a small amount of saddle soap on a cloth and rub into the leather. I use a leather wax finisher like Renapor after which can be applied sparingly as per instructions, to keep the leather protected and supple. Vegetable tanned leather changes colour over time with wear and tear and exposure to the elements, this is not a flaw of the product but in fact the beauty of it! You should always inspect the collar for any weaknesses over time like stitching, rivets etc to ensure the safety of your dog.
