Greyhound Dog Collar Swahili
The Swahili edition of the Faraja collar is a stunning example of ethnic art combined with functionality. With a color palette of deep black, earthy brown, and bright white, this design reflects the classic patterns of Swahili culture. This wide collar is specifically crafted for the slender necks of sighthounds, with Kenyan craftsmanship ensuring a unique and durable product.
Artisanal Details and Materials
This collar is entirely handmade, bringing together tradition and quality:
Ethically Tanned Leather: This collar uses local Kenyan leather that has been vegetable-tanned. The interior is lined with buttery-soft goat leather, preventing chafing and ensuring high wearing comfort for dogs with short coats.
Geometric Beadwork: The Swahili version is decorated with glass beads in a high-contrast pattern of black, brown, and white. Because the beads are individually hand-stitched, they are firmly anchored in the leather, making the collar extremely robust.
Durable Brass Hardware: The buckle and D-ring are hand-cast from recycled brass. This artisanal casting process by local artists gives the hardware a characteristic golden glow that does not rust.
Matching Accessory: You will receive a handmade bone-shaped charm with the collar. This piece is also finished with beads and can easily be attached to the collar or your own keychain.
Anatomical Design
Thanks to its wide design, the Swahili collar provides the necessary protection for the sensitive necks of sighthounds. Pressure is distributed over a larger surface when pulling, relieving the neck muscles and windpipe. Furthermore, the unique shape ensures the collar cannot slip over the dog's narrow head, which is essential for a safe walk.
