Why alpaca wool?
Alpaca wool is one of the noblest natural fibers in the world – silky, warm, and exceptionally durable.
It is temperature-regulating, lanolin-free, and therefore ideal for sensitive skin.
In winter, it keeps pleasantly warm, in spring, it regulates body temperature – for natural comfort in every season.
Sizing Note
To determine the perfect size, measure the back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. This length is the most important reference point for our clothing. The specified measurements are averages – small deviations are normal for handcrafted products and make each piece unique.

You can find instructions on how to measure correctly here. If you need help with measuring, please send me a message at lucyludesign.shop@gmail.com
The indicated size XS, S, M, L, XL is for classification. The neck circumference specified when ordering (closed internal measurement!) is decisive.
Notes on intertwined leashes/collars:
In the braided area, the collar/leash widens as follows:
Strap width leather:
15mm = braided area approx. 22-25mm
18mm = braided area approx. 25-28mm
25mm = braided area approx. 32-35mm
Strap width BioThane:
16mm = braided area approx. 22-24mm
19mm = braided area approx. 26-28mm
25mm = braided area approx. 32-34mm
The EM chain should sit a little looser than the collar. Click here for instructions.
We make the collar exactly to the measurements you provide. Please measure exactly as the collar should sit later and do not add any extra leeway.

Care instructions for greased leather
Greased leather is a natural, oiled leather – soft, robust and particularly comfortable to hold. With the right care, it will remain beautiful for many years:
-
Cleaning: Wipe off coarse dirt with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
-
Care: If necessary, sparingly re-grease with special leather grease or leather oil to keep the leather supple.
-
Water: Greased leather is naturally resistant to moisture, but should be air-dried slowly after heavy rain or wetness – never on a heater.
-
Special feature: Over time, the leather develops an individual patina, which makes each piece unique and is not a quality defect.
- Note: Leather is a natural material and can adapt minimally under stress – this is typical for the material and not a quality defect.
Important Note on Use and Selection!
Important Note on Use and Selection!
Important information on use
Our products are exclusively intended for use on dogs. The selection of a suitable collar or leash (size, width, material) is the responsibility of the buyer. Improper use can cause injuries to both dog and owner. Excessive stress can lead to impaired function or product failure.
All fittings we use are selected to ensure that the straps fit securely through them and can withstand the specified breaking load. Nevertheless, carabiners and metal parts are subject to natural wear and tear, depending on the stress; material fatigue and breakage cannot be excluded over the years.
Bites, scratching, or strong rubbing by the dog can permanently damage the product. If a collar, leash, bandana, or even an EM collar is used daily, the product - like any everyday object - will show natural signs of wear and tear.
How quickly these occur depends significantly on individual use and the influences the product comes into contact with. We have no control over this after delivery.
If parts of the collar, leash, or EM collar are swallowed, there is a health risk to the animal. In this case, a veterinarian must be consulted immediately.
Leather is a natural material and may adapt minimally under stress - this is typical of the material and not a quality defect.

If there are existing allergies to leather or tanning agents, the products must not be used. Otherwise, skin irritations may occur.
