The Roca lurcher dog collar measures 45cm from the buckle to the end of the leather. A matching dog lead is also available for a charming and stylish way to showcase the navy, white and grey threads.

pampeano's signature, Havana brown leather has been used to hand-craft this dog collar. Expert craftsmen in South America hand-select the finest pieces of raw leather to be vegetable-tanned using natural dyes, which involves a lengthy and traditional process that produces the most exquisite results which cannot be replicated by modern day practices. After the rich colours of the dyes have been absorbed, the leather is then tumbled in large drums to create its softness and suppleness. The results have provided pampeano with a prestigious reputation that reaches all four corners of the globe. A leather that combines an impressive strength, longevity and buttery handle, whilst improving with age; is the perfect choice for luxury dog accessories and leather ware.

The colourful patterns that decorate these collars are also steeped in tradition. Eye-catching Aztec diamonds, called ‘pampa’ diamonds, are handwoven into the thick, Argentinian leather by master artisans in South America. The patterns have been around for generations, symbolizing the peaks and troughs of the nearby Andes Mountain range.

pampeano originally used these symbols on the polo fields of Argentina, decorating their technical polo equipment and leather belts which provided team colours. To this day, pampeano’s artisans still hand-craft all their leather products, on a wider range that spans luxury home, leather, clothing and dog accessories.

Care

To maintain the richness of the leather, you should nourish it with a good leather conditioner every so often. Apply a small amount onto a dry cloth and rub into the leather. Use a separate cloth to buff it until all of the conditioner has been absorbed.

Try and keep your dog collar dry. If it does get wet, just blot with a towel as soon as possible and let it air dry.

Do not machine wash.
