A Collar Inspired by Strength, Courage and Loyalty
Throughout history, powerful dogs have stood beside humans in some of life’s most challenging circumstances. They guarded settlements, protected livestock, accompanied hunters through dangerous territories and served as fearless companions when strength, courage and loyalty mattered most.
The MATTIS Custom Embossed Leather Dog Collar draws inspiration from this remarkable bond between humans and their powerful canine companions. Its design combines historical motifs and bold decorative elements, creating a collar with a strong character – particularly suited to large, confident dogs.
Distinctive Lion, Wolf or Jaguar Head Leather Embossing
At the heart of the MATTIS design is the animal head embossing: Lion, Wolf or Jaguar. Each motif brings its own symbolism, transforming the rich brown leather into a striking decorative statement.
The historical inspiration continues through the choice of antique brass-plated conchos: Celtic Hounds, featuring traditional Celtic-inspired canine motifs, and Battle Shields, reminiscent of ancient protective armour – both giving the collar its historical feel.
Premium Brown Leather and Comfort
MATTIS is handcrafted from premium brown leather, complemented by a soft black leather lining. This carefully selected combination creates a beautiful contrast while providing a smooth, comfortable surface against your dog’s neck.
The collar is approximately 6 cm (2.35 inches) wide, with both ends gradually tapering under the chin for greater comfort and freedom of movement.
Every detail is thoughtfully assembled to balance distinctive design, durability and everyday wearing comfort.
Personalized Brass Nameplate with Matching Engraving
The MATTIS collar features a custom brass nameplate, engraved with your dog’s name and a matching animal motif – Lion, Wolf or Jaguar – corresponding to your chosen leather embossing.
This coordinated detail brings the entire design together, making each MATTIS collar a personalized piece created especially for your dog.
Designed for Large and Powerful Dog Breeds
With its substantial width, bold leather embossing and distinctive brass decorations, MATTIS is particularly well suited to large and powerful dog breeds. Rhodesian Ridgebacks, historically known as African Lion Hounds, have a remarkable heritage as courageous hunting companions, making the lion-inspired MATTIS design a particularly fitting choice.
Of course, Mattis’ unique design and composition is equally appealing for other large dogs, both long-haired and short-haired, whose owners appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and individual style.
