Material you can trust. A set that belongs together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are accessories you buy — and accessories you notice. The Aurex Braided Set belongs to the second category. The hand-braided center section of the collar is not a decorative element — it is proof of craftsmanship precision, where every leather strand is braided and fixed under even tension. The large solid brass O-ring center makes a statement reminiscent of classic equestrian and hunting equipment. Collar and leash share the same braid structure, the same hardware, the same language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth components are made from \u003cstrong\u003evegetable-tanned full-grain cowhide leather\u003c\/strong\u003e — unsplit, unbuffed, in its most natural form. Tanning with plant tannins from quebracho and chestnut bark makes the leather free of \u003cstrong\u003echromium(VI) compounds\u003c\/strong\u003e and compliant with the \u003cstrong\u003eREACH Regulation\u003c\/strong\u003e. This leather becomes softer with use, not more brittle — a quality characteristic that synthetic materials never achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eseven-strand braid\u003c\/strong\u003e on the collar and the \u003cstrong\u003ethree-strand braid\u003c\/strong\u003e on the leash are hand-worked — each strand is individually cut, dampened, and braided under even tension before being stitched and fixed. This technique, known from classic saddlery and Western riding, distributes pulling forces across multiple leather strands simultaneously and is therefore structurally stronger than a single-layer leather strap of the same width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll seams are executed with \u003cstrong\u003ewaxed polyester saddler's thread\u003c\/strong\u003e in double stitch. The rivets in \u003cstrong\u003esolid brass\u003c\/strong\u003e are hot-set — not cold-pressed — which guarantees a permanently firm connection without loosening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eHardware \u0026amp; Fittings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central \u003cstrong\u003eO-ring on the collar\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as the roller buckle, rivets, and carabiner clasp, are made from \u003cstrong\u003esolid brass (CuZn37)\u003c\/strong\u003e with a natural surface. Solid brass develops a warm, deepened gold patina over time — a living material that responds to touch and weather, becoming more personal with every walk. The \u003cstrong\u003esafety carabiner\u003c\/strong\u003e on the leash features a hardened steel spring and is tested to a breaking load of 176 lbs (80 kg).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather is tested for \u003cstrong\u003echromium(VI), azo dyes, formaldehyde, and pentachlorophenol\u003c\/strong\u003e. All metal fittings are nickel-free — suitable for dogs with sensitive or allergic skin. The braid structure distributes pulling forces across multiple strands simultaneously — under strong pulling it stiffens rather than giving way, providing maximum control without pressure peaks at the dog's neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eSize Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 0.9rem; margin-top: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F; font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNeck Circumference\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F; font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCollar Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F; font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLeash Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F; font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLeash Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f5f0ee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e30–41 cm \/ 11.8–16.1 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e2.0 cm \/ 0.8 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e150 cm \/ 59 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e1.2 cm \/ 0.5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e38–48 cm \/ 15–18.9 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e2.0 cm \/ 0.8 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e150 cm \/ 59 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e1.2 cm \/ 0.5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 0.85rem; color: #888; margin-top: 8px;\"\u003eMeasure your dog's neck circumference carefully.
