Below are all of our currently available leather colors including our Limited Edition (L.E.) Leather Colors:

Our Leather

We at Heart Dog Creations use only the highest quality leather. We use 8-10 oz. Bridle and strap from a tannery within the US. We currently offer Black Bridle, English Tan Bridle, Medium Brown Bridle, Green Teal Bridle, Fuchsia Bridle. We are expanding to more colors as we are able. Recently, we have added Navy and Pine to our offerings. Hides are struck through, or edge dyed, and then burnished. Bridle leather used by us is veg tanned, drum dyed, and then hot stuffed with oils and waxes. The strap leather is a high quality veg tanned leather that is drum dyed. Some colors are not available as bridle leather, but are available as high quality strap.

Black - Our black is an 8/10oz Bridle that is soft and supple but subtantial.

Tan - Our tan is an 8/10oz Bridle that is a SOLID leather option. This leather has a substantial feel to it.

Brown- Our Brown is an 8/10oz Bridle that has a really nice feel to it with a great softness yet feels strong and substantial.

Fuchsia- Our Fuchsia is an 8/10oz Bridle that is similar to our other bridle leathers.

Green Teal- Our Teal is an 8/10 oz Bridle that is similar to our other bridle leathers.

Navy - Our Navy is an 8/10 oz Strap that is very similar to bridle leather.

Pine Green- Our Pine is an 8/10 oz Bridle that is simiular to our other bridle leathers.

L.E Red, L.E. Pink and L.E. Island Blue: These Limited Edition leather colors are a bit different than our regular stock colors. They are a Veg Tan bridle leather. These leather colors are THINNER than our normal leather colors as well- about 7 oz. They are still substantial and strong for dog collars, but might not be what you’re used to with our other colors. They are also not considered water safe, and CAN bleed the color when wet, especially if you have a white dog.

How to care for your collar

To keep your leather dog collar at its best we recommend cleaning gently with a soft cloth and leather soap. Afterwards apply a small amount of Fiebings Leather Conditioner (best for black leather as it will darken leather) or Bick 4 (for any leathers that can darken in color) and rub in with a soft cloth. . If the collar becomes muddy, then clean with a damp soft cloth and allow to air dry.
