Swarovski Crystal Indulgence Collection

August 3rd, 2010

I’ve been asked quite a few times now to create collars for greyhounds, salukis, whippets and Italian greyhounds with “a little bit more bling”.  To that end I’ve come up with the Crystal Indulgence collection, for die hard Swarovski crystal fanatics!  These exquisite collars are literally covered in as many dazzling Swarovski Elements as possible making a beautiful gift for that special sighthound.  What’s more, this range starts at £35, prices not to be sniffed at, so without further ado, here are the latest additions to P’etiquette Canine Couture.

I’ve added a new gemstone sighthound collar to the site; Tiger’s Eye & Citrine Chic.

This gorgeous collar, as the title suggests features individually hand sewn tiger’s eye and citrine gemstones alongside Swarovski crystals and a few glass seed beads for good measure.  Gemstone beaded dog collars

Three new collars have been added in a “starlight” theme.  Crystal Aurore Boreale Swarovski crystals and star shaped rivets on any of our leathers make for a funky collar, and there are variations suitable for sighthounds, regular buckle collars and also half check collars.

In order to measure your dog for a P’etiquette handmade leather harness, please follow the following instructions:

How to measure for a dog harness

We need 3 measurements to make the harness:

  • A – Neck Width
  • B – Chest Measurement
  • C – The distance from the collar (under the chin) to under the chest where you took measurement B

Once you have these measurements, then choose the size from the options available which will fit your dog best.

How P’etiquette Dog Collars Are Made

June 1st, 2010

The story of each P’etiquette collar begins with the selection of the finest leather hide.

The hide is cut into strips, measured, the front end rounded, and the edges smoothed.

For our coloured collars we hand dye the leather to a choice of nine vibrant colours in a five stage process, resulting in colours not often seen around a dogs neck!

The decorative parts are then added to the collar according to the order.  Swarovski crystallized elements are riveted into place by hand, or semi-precious gemstones and beads are hand-sewn using super strong nylon filament.  This process can take up to 5 hours!

Next a soft leather lining is added to the back of the collar for extra comfort and the collar is stitched with a matching rot proof thread.

Then, the buckle, loop, D-ring & eyelets are added to create the couture collar.

Finally, the P’etiquette ID tag is added and the collar is complete.
