The idea for these collars came naturally – as we started collaborating with professional poodle groomers who not only care for the coats of these breeds but also prepare dogs for shows. Their daily experience and insights into coat structure, skin sensitivity, and anatomical nuances inspired the search for a solution – one that would be gentle, functional, and tailored to the specific needs of poodles.
That’s how these wide, handmade collars with a satin lining were born.
Why wide collars?
The neck area of poodles and other long-necked breeds is not only longer but also more sensitive than that of short-necked dogs. Standard narrow collars tend to apply pressure to a small area – which can cause discomfort, friction, or even lead to health issues.
Wider collars distribute pressure more evenly across the neck, allowing the skin to breathe and reducing the risk of damage to the trachea or neck. Additionally, their shape provides better stability – which is especially beneficial for more active or sensitive dogs.
Satin lining – comfort and coat protection
One of the most important features of these collars is the inner lining made from satin – a smooth and gentle fabric that:
- Protects long coats from tangling or friction
- Preserves the hair’s structure even when worn for long periods
- Helps keep the neck area neat and well-groomed
- Prevents irritation on sensitive skin or skin folds
This solution was chosen specifically because poodle coats are highly valued and require exceptional care – and even a detail like the lining of a collar can affect the dog’s comfort and appearance.
Tailor-made for each dog
Every collar is custom-made based on the neck and head measurements you provide. We calculate the appropriate adjustable length to ensure that:
- The collar fits comfortably but isn’t too tight
- The dog can’t slip out, but still feels free and secure
- There is a perfect balance between safety and comfort
You can also choose the desired collar width, depending on your dog’s breed, neck length, and size. Each collar is handmade – so every piece is unique and thoughtfully tailored to your dog’s needs.
Care instructions: Collars can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle at low temperatures. Please note: if your collar features colored hardware (such as rose gold or black), slight color changes may occur over time. Silver hardware is more resistant to such changes.
Not just for poodles
Although these collars were created with poodles in mind, they’re also an excellent choice for other long-necked dogs like sighthounds, setters, and others who need extra neck protection or have coat/skin sensitivities.
They’re also ideal for dogs with trachea, neck, or breathing sensitivities, or those prone to coat matting.
Why choose these collars for poodles?
- Gentle on coat and skin – satin lining protects even the most delicate hair
- Wider design = greater safety – distributes pressure evenly, reduces strain on the trachea
- Custom fit – no “standard sizes”; each collar is made to measure
- Easy to care for – washable by hand or on gentle machine cycle
- Stylish yet functional – outer material is easy to clean and visually appealing
- Created with experts – based on real experience from groomers and breeders
- Perfect for shows and everyday use – design meets both beauty and function
This collar model is the result of observation, careful craftsmanship, and close collaboration with those who work daily with canine beauty and wellbeing.
If you’re looking for something not only beautiful but also functional for your dog – these collars may be just what you need.
