The Details
• Each collar is hand tooled using premium vegetable tanned cow leather sourced from an award winning family-owned tannery.
• Every collar is sealed with a water resistant coating, providing durability for you and your pup.
• Each Willis + Bella collar is designed and handcrafted start to finish by one artist in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Process
Hand stamping is a very different process than traditional engraving. Hand stamping is done entirely by hand, with a hammer and steel stamp. The stamps have letters or designs carved on the end and each is individually stamped into the leather with a hammer. Every item is carefully handcrafted, so certain variations are to be expected. This adds to the one of a kind nature and overall quality of each piece I create.
Due to the hand stamped nature of the collars, I am not able to provide a proof prior to making an order. There is no computer involvement for these, each letter and design is hammered into the leather one by one.
•Each collar is hand-dyed, so slight variations in color are to be expected.
FAQs
•Each collar is sealed twice for water resistance and durability. However, if water does get on the collar please wipe off to ensure the water doesn't soak in after prolonged water exposure.
•Additional care instructions are available in the FAQ section of my shop and are provided with every order.
