Pale grey faux saffiano leather with a gold-tone buckle, a gold D-ring and gold-rimmed grommets, adjusting from ten to fifteen inches at the neck. It is the plainest collar in this line and the easiest to live with: nothing on it competes with a dog's coat, and the gold keeps it from reading as utility hardware.

The saffiano grain is pressed cross-hatching, which resists surface scuffing where a tag swings against the strap. Santa Barbara Design Studio finishes the exterior vegan friendly and easy to clean, so a damp wipe is the whole routine. It buckles up alongside the matching Grey Saffiano Dog Leash.

One of these on the shelf, from a range the maker has retired.
