Super-modern Martingale collar design from Toronto’s ModRUFF

Astute PupStyle readers will remember the fierce Dragon coat from ModRuff. And now ModRuff has returned with a new line of sculpted rubber collars.

The design is based on the classic martingale style usually meant for the longer necked breeds (greyhounds, whippets) who need a wide-banded gentle collar rather than a thin choker style collar. With this update to the basic martingale not only is the style turned up to eleven but the slide-on design combined with the flexible rubber exterior lined in fleece makes for a safer and more comfortable collar. Available in a wide range of 8 colors in both feminine and masculine colorways – our favorite for the beefier breed is the green (pictured below).

The ModRuff Martingale Sculpted Collar costs $40 and is available from BitchNewYork and other fine retailers.

Super slick bowtie collar & leash set from Louis Vuitton

Nothing says “Spoiled & Fresh” at the same time like a dog collar and leash set from Louis Vuitton. The Baxter collar line from LV is pure canine elegance mixed with a healthy dose of conspicuous consumption. The set comes decked out in the famous LV patterned canvas backed with buttery smooth leather. And as a style bonus for the micro-pups (4lbs and less) the petit collar includes a removable brass LV bow tie. Leave it on for formal occasions and whip it off for letting loose. The Baxter sets are available in larger sizes as well – but no bowtie. (a class action size discrimination suit if I’ve ever heard of one!) The collars range in price from $250-$275 (USD) and the matching leashes run from $270-$305 (USD). Normally available thru Louis Vuitton’s website they are currently sold out online and only available at LV’s NYC flagship store.

Embossed leather collars designed by Veuch and Kappachan

Those cool kids over at Kappachan have done it again! Teaming up with Brussels-based underground artist Veuch they have taken a unique approach to the classic skull and bones icon. These collars are constructed of fine grade saddle leather embossed with Veuch’s electrified Skull with crossed swords. Available in Large and Extra Large – shorties need not apply – these designs are available in a warm cognac brown leather and a matte black leather. Currently they are available to purchase online directly from Kappachan in France and if you want to save on the International shipping they are slated to be carried at LA’s latest pet super boutique Pussy & Pooch.

Pretty Perforated Puppy Collars from Lilliboo

Italian dog designers LilliBoo have been cranking out trendy and fashionable collars since 2004. Their philosophy being that collars for dogs are much like t-shirts for people – each carries its own fashion statement and we should be able to mix up our style depending on our mood. One of their sassy new designs is the Cape Town line with it’s perforated patent leather collar accented with chunky gold hardware highlights. Most of the LilliBoo line can be purchased online at BeautyDog in Sweden (note: prices are listed in Swedish Kronars)
