Custom collars :)

by **WackyJacki** » July 2nd, 2010, 2:30 pm

Hi guys!

Wanted to put my name out there. I offer custom, handmade dog collars, harnesses and leashes. All different sizes, styles, and widths. They are pit bull approved! :mrgreen:

I hope to be adding custom treat bags in the future as well *fingers crossed*.

Thanks.

Celena is so in need of a loop martingale, pink and brown collar. She almost slipped out of her regular flat collar the other day while on a walk. I see several of yours that I really like! I'm not sure of the width I should order. She is not very big - 41 lbs. and almost one year old. Any suggestions regarding the width?

Thanks!

At that size I would probably recommend a 1.5".

Stella, who is pictured in my avatar, is 53lbs and is wearing a 2" wide collar, just to give you an idea of scale. She does have a rather long neck though.

Ooooh...treat bags! Tell me more...

I'm looking for a fabric collar in purple that would be for a tough boy dog...all I keep seeing are purples that are more appropriate for females.

LOL It won't be for awhile... I'm still working on prototypes, trying to figure out what works well and what doesn't.

I think in the end I will offer something very basic, just a snap pouch that clips to your belt, and also fancy shmancy bag, that has pockets for keys/cell phone/poop bags, a couple different pouches inside and opens with an inner metal hing, so it will stay open. Perhaps give people the option of how many pockets, what kind of attachment style, etc. So many ideas swirling around the ol' noggin!

They will both be made with a cute, heavily lined cotton on the outside and moisture resistant ripstop nylon on the inside. This way we can have fashionable treat bags that are very practical as well and don't look like fanny packs. LOL

Soooo, if I'm ever pleased with what I come up with, I will certainly make them for sale and let people know. :wink:

Yes, purple prints tend to be on the girly side.

Is there something specific you are looking for? I'm always happy to fabric shop! Hahaha

Because Jacki lives in Illinois, so she has to charge sales tax on anything that stays in Illinois. If it gets shipped out of state, you don't have to pay Illinois sales tax.

Nothing specific...our flyball team colors are purple and gold (yellow)...and I've been wanting to get a good martingale collar for Score...just can't find anything I like yet.

Hmmm well if I find a non girly purple or purple and gold print I'll let ya know!

Just ordered 2 collars from your Etsy store-- couldn't help but get one for the escape artist (Robin) and one for the lab (River). I told River that she was getting one, too, and she cocked her head and perked up-- she's pretty excited about it

Well thank you!! I appreciate that.

Those red mineko neki good luck kitties are one of my favorite prints! They sell it in a dark blue also... I just may have to buy.

Your collars will be sent after the holiday weekend.

Hope to see pictures!

Very nice shop... reminds me a lot of Lisas Collarmania site.

Do you do any leather collars?

by **WackyJacki** » July 4th, 2010, 7:09 pm

Thank you.

I don't do leather, no. I don't have any intentions of doing leatherwork (although nothing's impossible), but I do want to add some other stuff, like custom treat bags, walking harnesses, etc.

Jacki, collars and website are lookin great! I just added your Collar Shop facebook page as a favorite to my ST page!
