Dog Leash Apple Leather Black
The Curli Apple Leather dog leash in black is the result of advanced material engineering. Instead of conventional animal leather, Curli utilizes a hybrid, vegetable-based material manufactured from side-products of the apple juice industry. This "2nd level upcycling" process significantly reduces the use of non-renewable resources without compromising the mechanical properties essential for a professional dog lead.
Material Properties and Mechanics
The Apple Leather used is characterized by a specific balance between suppleness and resistance. The material is softer than traditional leather, optimizing grip for the handler and increasing overall comfort. The leash possesses a natural stretch that acts as a shock absorber; this ensures that sudden pulling movements by the dog are dampened before the tension fully impacts the joints of either the handler or the dog. Unlike classic leather goods, this material is fully washable and exhibits extremely high resistance to abrasion (wear from friction).
Functionality and System Integration
The leash is constructed as a multifunctional instrument with three adjustment points. Thanks to the closed metal eyelets and the Safety "Snap-In" Hook, the leash configuration can be quickly and securely adapted to the required distance. The design is specifically matched to the Curli Clasp Apple Leather harnesses, where both the aesthetics and the mechanical closures (rings and hooks) integrate seamlessly for maximum security.
Variants and Load Capacity
The leash has a fixed length of 160 cm (5.25 feet) and is available in two widths, tailored to the mass and pulling force of the dog:
Size S: Width of 1.5 cm (0.59"). Technically rated for dogs weighing up to 25 kg (55 lbs).
Size L: Width of 2.0 cm (0.78"). Technically rated for dogs weighing up to 40 kg (88 lbs).
