A beautiful collar starts with a considered fit. Use the guidance below together with the exact measurements and specifications on the individual product page.
How to measure
- Use a soft measuring tape and measure around the neck where the collar will naturally rest.
- Keep the tape comfortably close without pulling it tight.
- Record the measurement and compare it with the product’s stated fit range.
- After fastening the collar, check that two fingers can fit between the collar and the neck.
Choosing the right size
Choose by neck measurement rather than breed or weight. Dogs of the same breed can have different proportions. If your measurement falls between two sizes, or if you are considering a wider statement collar, contact us before ordering.
Everyday use and safety
- Inspect the leather, stitching, buckle, D-ring, and decorative settings regularly.
- Discontinue use if any component becomes damaged, loose, or excessively worn.
- Do not allow the collar to be used as a chew toy.
- Use equipment appropriate to your dog’s activity, strength, and behavior.
- Product-specific safety and use guidance always takes priority.
Leather care
- Keep leather away from prolonged moisture, soaking, harsh household cleaners, and direct heat.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
- Allow damp leather to air-dry naturally, away from radiators and strong sunlight.
- Follow any care instructions provided for the individual leather, lining, crystal, gemstone, or hardware finish.
Materials and construction
Materials, lining, hardware, decorative elements, construction, and care requirements can vary by piece. The details on each product page are authoritative. For an Atelier commission, these specifications will be confirmed with you before the order is accepted.
