Daylesford x Green Dog

A British wool dog collar collection, designed for Daylesford Farm and finished by hand in my Oxford studio. It launched in store in September 2026.

The collection was designed by the Daylesford home team and me, and signed off by Lady Bamford. It is not the Green Dog retail range moved onto somebody else's shelf. The wool, the colourways, the leatherwork and the proportions were chosen for Daylesford, and the pieces are sold there only.

The collars

Hand-woven undyed British wool over a veg-tanned leather strap, with brass hardware. Cream wool with brown leather. Grey wool with black leather. The colour is the colour the sheep grew.

The Mini in cream

Cream wool in a two-row fishtail weave, roughly 20mm wide, on a slim brown veg-tanned leather strap. The lightest collar in the collection, built for Miniature Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Toy Poodles and the smaller terriers.

The Mini in grey

The same two-row fishtail weave in grey wool, on a slim black veg-tanned leather strap. Charcoal reads darker on a small dog and shows less of a muddy walk than the cream does.

The Classic

The three-row weave, 34mm of wool over a 19mm leather strap. The collar the whole range was designed around, and the one most dogs take. In cream wool with brown leather, or grey wool with black.

The Sighthound

The wider four-row weave, 43mm across the centre, tapering towards the buckle. It spreads the pressure across a long neck rather than concentrating it, which is the whole point on a whippet, a lurcher, a greyhound or an Italian greyhound. In cream with brown leather, or grey with black.

The hands-free wool lead

An 8ft hands-free lead in 14mm British wool rope, in cream or grey, with brass hardware. Hand-spliced, so the join carries the load through the rope itself rather than through a glued or crimped fitting. It was designed and made for Daylesford, and has never been sold on this site.

The Daylesford pieces are finished differently from my online range on purpose. They carry no tassel and no Green Dog brass disc. If you have seen one in the shop and come looking for it here, that is why it is not on this site.

Mine, for muddy walks

British wool has not left Green Dog. The Sheep Shed pairs it with a waterproof, wipe-clean strap, and you can design your own.

Why Daylesford

Daylesford has farmed organically in the Cotswolds since 1977, works with the Soil Association, and has been a B Corp since 2023. They keep their own flock, and they already make things from British wool. They were there first, and at a scale I am not. Putting British fleece on a shelf next to British food makes the argument land with people who were not already listening, and backing a solo maker at the same time is a choice they did not have to make.

Why British wool

British wool is one of the most under-used natural fibres in the country. Most fleeces are sold for next to nothing or burned, because the global market does not value them. Using it for dog collars is a small piece of a much bigger argument for keeping the fleece market alive.
