Blue Multifunctional Dog Collar

Blue Multifunctional Dog Collar is an innovative pet accessory design that seamlessly combines functionality with aesthetic sophistication, created by Italian designer Frida Hulten. This distinguished design, which earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Pet Care category, represents a significant advancement in luxury pet accessories by introducing a unique dual-purpose concept that incorporates a detachable ornamental necklace system. Crafted from premium Vachetta Pesante, a sustainably sourced vegetable-tanned leather from Tuscany, the collar features solid brass hardware including a buckle, D-ring, and specialized swivel-head rivets that ensure both durability and elegance. The collar's dimensions of 600mm in length and 30mm in width are thoughtfully proportioned to provide comfort while maintaining a luxurious appearance. The detachable necklace component, measuring 150mm in length and 140mm in width, showcases an intricate network of semi-precious stones including Turquoise, Emerald, Jade, Green Garnet, Lapis Lazuli, Aventurine, Garnet, Blue Goldstone, Onyx, and Swarovski crystals, all secured within a brass chain matrix designed to allow freedom of movement while preventing damage during wear. This innovative design, developed between 2016 and 2018, addresses the practical challenge of transitioning between everyday wear and special occasions, offering pet owners the flexibility to enhance their dog's appearance without compromising the essential function of a collar. The sophisticated engineering of the attachment mechanism ensures secure connection while maintaining ease of use, demonstrating exceptional attention to both practical functionality and aesthetic refinement.
