Material
A lead that lasts.
Braided cord, brass hardware, hand-finished. Below is what it is made of and why that choice was made.
Braided cord
A core with a braided sheath around it. That construction keeps the lead supple in the hand and lets it hold its round shape, even after it has been wet. It does not stretch under a sudden pull.
Biothane®
Polyester webbing with a coating around it. Strong, supple even in the cold, and it takes up no water, smell or dirt. It does not fray, does not dry out and never needs conditioning.
Solid brass
Carabiner, rings and buckles are solid brass, not chrome-plated steel with a coating. Brass does not rust and slowly warms in colour. A scratch polishes out instead of staying put.
Branding
One brand mark per product
An engraved monogram, a small brass plate or a woven label — never all three at once. The brand should be visible without taking over the lead.
Packaging
Opening it is part of it.
An unprinted kraft box, soft pink tissue paper and a nest of wood wool. Natural materials, matte and tactile: no glossy foil, no print.
The box holds only what you ordered. How to keep it looking good is on the Care page, where you can always find it again.
