LINE AND SHACKLE DOG COLLARS

Whether your dog loves to spend the day on the boat or just wants to look the part, The Rigger’s Wife has some delightfully nautical collars and leashes. Sandy McLaughlin, the eponymous rigger’s wife, designs hand-spliced and whipped collars and leashes using the same line her husband uses in his work. Each custommade collar is secured with a stainless-steel bow shackle and finished with a stainless-steel O-ring for the tags. Although the Rigger’s Wife pays homage to the techniques and traditions that have been passed down to McLaughlin from her husband and his mentors, McLaughlin adds a whimsy and flair to the craft that is all her own, making these the perfect accessory for any sailor's pet. $35-100.
