Leather Ages Like Whiskey. Plastic Ages Like Trash.

When you buy a collar, you're not buying “just a collar”.
You’re buying walks, road trips, mud, memories.

Leather ages beautifully.
Plastic ages… into a crunchy disappointment.

A cheap collar looks like a bargain — until it cracks, peels and you buy another.
A handcrafted leather collar? You buy it once. It stays for years.

What to look for:
• hand-burnished edges (comfort, no rubbing),
• solid hardware (brass / stainless steel),
• saddle stitch (hand-sewn, cannot unravel).

Plastic is cheap at the beginning.
Leather is cheap at the end.

Want a collar that doesn’t just last… but becomes a story?
Check out Slade Czech.

Halloween at the Slade Czech Workshop

At Slade Czech, Halloween isn’t a costume — it’s craft. No plastic masks, just skilled hands, leather, and the quiet elegance of October nights. Every stitch has a story, every buckle a soul. Founded in 2004, the brand still creates by hand, without shortcuts. As the lights dim and brass begins to glow, the rhythm of work turns into art. For Slade Czech, Halloween isn’t about fear — it’s a celebration of endurance, character, and human touch that stands strong in the digital age.

Autumn Care for Dog Paws 🐾

Autumn looks pretty, but your dog’s paws know the truth. Streets flip between salt, mud and morning frost, so every walk is a mini survival run. Keep those pads happy: rinse with lukewarm water, dry with a soft towel and always check between the pads. Before you head out, swipe on a thin layer of paw balm; after you get home, a light reapply helps recovery — one minute of care, heaps of prevention. Trim the fluff between the pads so mud doesn’t clump and balm grips better. Spot redness, cracks, licking or a limp? Ease up, reach for a soothing balm and, if it doesn’t improve, call the vet. Basics win: water, towel, trim, balm. A stylish dog is known by the collar… but walks on paws. 🐾
