Why Choose Solid Brass Hardware?

Solid brass hardware is the perfect complement to leather products, offering unmatched strength and durability. Brass is resistant to corrosion and tarnish, ensuring that it will maintain its appearance and function over time, even with regular use. Its longevity means fewer replacements, making it a more sustainable choice for your leather goods. Additionally, brass is 100% recyclable, making it an eco-friendly option that reduces environmental impact. By choosing solid brass hardware, you're investing in quality, durability, and sustainability—an ideal combination for both your leather items and the planet.

Why Choose Leather?

Vegetable-tanned leather is a natural, durable, and timeless material that synthetic alternatives can’t match. It’s crafted using plant-based tannins, biodegradable, and free from unnecessary chemicals, making it safer for dogs, people, and the planet. The leather I use is a byproduct of the food industry, not sourced from animals raised specifically for their hides, so choosing leather helps reduce waste while supporting sustainable practices.

Over time, it develops a rich patina that tells the story of its use, giving each piece a unique, personal character. Vegetable-tanned leather also breathes naturally, improving comfort and functionality. With proper care, it can last a lifetime — and when combined with repairability and our lifetime guarantee, it’s a sustainable choice that keeps gear out of landfill and in use for years.

• Rinse under fresh water after use in the ocean.
• If your item becomes dirty, simple give it a gentle scrub in warm soapy water, leave to dry in the sun, then thoroughly condition to prevent the leather losing it’s natural oils.
• Condition regularly using a natural non-toxic leather balm. The newer the item, the more frequently it will need conditioning. Aim for monthly for the first 3 months, then bi-monthly for 6months, then bi-annually. If well conditioned, your items should never dry out or turn brittle and will last a lifetime.

Every piece of gear I make is designed to last a lifetime — and I stand fully behind it. That’s why all Core Range collars, leashes, and harnesses come with a lifetime guarantee. If your gear ever fails due to a material or workmanship issue, I’ll repair or replace it — no questions asked.

Beyond the guarantee, I encourage maintaining and repairing your gear whenever possible. Small repairs, conditioning, or hardware swaps can give your item years of extra life, reducing waste and keeping it out of landfill.

This isn’t just about durability — it’s about creating gear that you can trust, care for, and enjoy for years, while minimizing your impact on the planet. Gear made once, loved forever.
