A Dog Collar? It's More Than Just That To Us The art of the handmade dog collar, the custom and personalised look at why we do what we do. We are a company that formed because of our celebration for the dog. Our artistry and creativity came together in a culture that pays tribute to the romantic notions of our pets and their breed's history. We embrace all that is the dog, from their quirkiness to their savagery and curiosity, from this, we have created pieces of tangible art around their necks that commemorate all that spirit. We like to think of it like Inspiring Neck Pieces That Honor The Dog, Connect People & Spark our Imagination. Oli Collars follows our passion of creating a unique brand that reveres our 4 legged friends in order to embrace all of their character, history and romanticism, as well as break the ice with like minded pet owners and interesting people. "We get stopped all of the time," is just one comment we often hear when our customers take their dogs for a walk. Numerous conversations have been started out of the blue, and this made us think, we are more than just custom dog collars, we bring people together by engaging them in the common forum that is our beloved pets. THE DOG COLLAR MADE BY HAND, AN EXPRESSION AND A LOST ART Back in 2009, I was going through some tough times with the economic crisis, my loyal companion sure helped me through a few low points. How does one express gratitude for such loyalty, of course through love and loyalty in return but I decided I wanted a special collar for my boy. Unfortunately, at the time I only had black leather spiked collars to choose from at our local pet shops. Surely if I felt this way about my companion others might feel the same way. Starting off slowly and developing my craft day and night OLI COLLARS was born and I am grateful to have the opportunity in making some great artworks for great people across the globe.
