Some women love leather handbags. Some women love leather leashes. I'm quite fond of both. I'm still on my quest for the perfect bag but I think I may have found a leash that comes close to perfection. We were sent a leash and collar from Stibbar to review.
They coordinate with Mr. N's coloring perfectly and are buttery soft in my hands. The leash required no breaking in whatsoever and people have been complimenting his leash on walks.

Cathy and Peter Soldan of Stibbar have been making leather leashes and collars for over eight years. Peter does the leather-work and Cathy designs them and interacts with the customers. She patiently put up with the scores of emails I sent and helped me throughout the design process (the color scheme was her idea). I like the degree of customization that is involved. You can pick the specific length, width, hardware kind and color and of course the two colors that make up the braided leash.
Mr. N has their six-feet ultralight leash which is made with two pieces of 3/8 buffalo tanned bullhide (tobacco and metallic turquoise) and the ultralight collar with a quick release snap. The metallic leather is higher maintenance and not as rugged as the regular leather but I couldn't resist the shininess. They're both super light but sturdy and all the hardware is small and light as well. Ideal for toy dogs.
It's our second blogiversary tomorrow and they're generously offering a four-feet braided leash to one of our readers! Winner's choice as to the colors.

You really do suit those leads, Mr N!
ReplyDeleteShiny things look good on him lol.
DeleteVery good looking leash and you look quite proud of it too, Mr. N!
ReplyDeleteHe likes new accessories.
DeleteThat looks like a very nice leash!
ReplyDeleteI love the texture and look!
DeleteThat is a really nice looking leash. Jack has an unfortunate habit of peeing on his leash, so we don't have nice ones :)
ReplyDeleteThat is rather unfortunate. Have you looked at biothane? They're water-proof so.... easier to clean?
DeleteGood luck to all who enter! We just wanted to stop by and say HAPPY HAPPY EARLY BLOGOVERSARY! Love from www.dakotasden.net
ReplyDeleteThanks Caren!
DeleteI love the color woven into the leash. Very unique. I'm a leash addict too. I say I need so many, because I have 4 dogs and we need leashes in the house and in each car. I just love leashes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Blogoversary :)
Thanks! That sounds like an excellent justification to me.
DeleteWhat a fancy leash! Congrats on your Blogaversary too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThat leash is absolutely gorgeous and it really suits Mr. N well!
ReplyDeleteHe prances when he walks and I think the leash goes with that.
DeleteI'm the same way, I love leashed collars & leashes! So far, we've accumulated 2 leather leashes for each of our pups, but we sure could use a third one ;-) One can never have enough leashes!! Mr. N looks like the perfect model for the Stibbar leash!
ReplyDelete*leather collars & leashes
DeleteAgreed. The more leashes the better! I think Mr. N has five. Or six.
DeleteWOW, I am loving these products!!! I entered the giveaway, hope it's open in Canada too!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not.
DeleteThese are so pretty! I love it. I think that the leash you chose goes great with Mr. N's fur. That teal is gorgeous.
ReplyDelete-Purrs from your friends at www.PlayfulKitty.net
I think the blue pops nicely against his fur.
DeleteWhat beautiful leashes! Luke has a leather collar, and I love it, but I don't think I've ever had a leather leash.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary!

Thanks, we mostly had nylon leashes but leather ones are now my favorite.
DeleteHappy blogiversary! These are really pretty leashes, love the colors.
ReplyDeleteLove & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Thank you, I do too.
DeleteI ENTERED!!!! That leash is gorgeous. If I won I would have to order an extra one (the Boys must match). I love leather also - but the leashes I've seen are always so hard and bulky #notmystyle So thank you for this great review.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Mr. N can't do bulky at all for obvious reasons and I like lightweight leashes personally too. Even if you don't win, I think the boys need a matching pair. There's so few things that show nicely with fluffy dogs so you have to take advantage of the ones that do!
DeleteLeather dog leashes are the best and these are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh that looks like a very nice leash. Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteDo we get to pick from any of the colors? (metallic, mellow, and the standard colors) Or certain ones?
ReplyDeleteYes, the winner gets to pick whichever colors they want.
DeleteNow that looks pretty darned cool - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI like the tobacco and navy color combination.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful leash indeed, and happy blogiversary! We haven't had a leather leash but if it's half as soft as you say I know I'd absolutely love it.
ReplyDeleteOne of my students has one of these leashes. They are beautiful and crafted so well! I didn't know they made harnesses too...that's great!
ReplyDeleteI like that these are so unusual - I'm a big leather fan too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary!!! I love all the great color combinations these leashes come in :) I like the melt ice blue and cork colors.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous. Sure wish I needed a leash.
