Designer Dog Collars From High-End Name Brands
Louis Vuitton
Does Louis Vuitton make dog collars, clothes, and other accessories?Yes, they offer a few different options for your pampered pup.
If you would like a high quality leather dog collar with beautiful brass hardware and a matching leash, that will be only $725 ($480 for the leash and $345 for the collar), please.
Perhaps you would care for the Louis Vuitton Dog Carrier 50 at $3,250 as well?
Perfectly reasonable for the very best if you ask me.
Tiffany & Co.
As for Tiffany & Co., they offer lovely leather pet collars in Tiffany Blue with palladium plated hardware.
Prices start at $675 for the collar ($300) and the matching leash ($375).
Sizes range from XS to XL. For large dogs, the largest sizes would cost $400 for the extra-large collar and $425 for the largest leash (available in black and Tiffany Blue).
After sporting their new collar, your puppies and kittens are going to need to eat out of new bone china dog and cat bowls, also available at Tiffany. If sterling silver dog bowls strike your fancy even more, this is an option starting at $2,000.
I’m not suggesting that you’ll actually take your dog to Tiffany and Co. But if you do, make sure they are wearing their ID tags and charms so everyone will know their name.
Price: $200. Worth it.
They have some truly fabulous stuff that will make your fur babies feel like the star of the show.
Versace
Versace makes a collar and leash set named after the Medusa, the Greek guardian who could turn men into stone when they gazed into her eyes.
The beautiful set will keep your precious protector looking fiercely fabulous. Crafted from high-quality black leather and polyester material with brass buckles and Medusa studs.
The cost of the set is $725.
In addition to a designer dog collar, you may want to ensure your perfect pooch is comfortable in your beautiful home with the Barocco Print Dog Bed.
If you have to step out in the rain, the Crete de Fleur Print Dog Rain Coat will keep them from having a bad hair day.
Ralph Lauren Pet
The Sable Woven Leather Dog Collar by Ralph Lauren is a very nice piece with true style. The collar ID plaque can be personalized to your pooch.
The black leather is meticulously handwoven.
The metal hardware (D-ring, engravable plaque, and buckle) is the same used on their gorgeous handbags. As with many of the finest things in life, the metal will develop a classy patina over time.
All in all an amazing value at around $100 depending on the size (XS-L).
And of course, Ralph Lauren has clothing to satisfy all dog owners and dog breeds – classic Polo shirts, sweaters, and coats.
We especially love his Fleece-Lined Dog Barn Jacket – perfect for those cold morning jaunts to the market or a hike in the countryside.

Even eBay has some Gucci pup accessories available. Prices range from $100 for a nylon collar to over $2,000 for rare vintage Gucci.
Burberry
Does Burberry make dog clothes and collars?
Historically, Burberry has made dog clothes such as sweaters and vests. Currently, in May 2021, the website does not list any dog clothing for sale.
Of course a brand like Burberry would have a strong aftermarket for new and second-hand products.
We were able to find some examples of canine couture that caught our eye on Poshmark and eBay.
Poshmark seller poshhunny shared a BNWT Burberry dog leash @ $200.
While eBay seller red-riding-hood had one of the nicest leather dog collars we have seen in recent memory. For $150, you are likely getting a great deal.

Today, this updated collection takes inspiration from the equestrian world. It features codes and craftsmanship, including full grain leather and saddle stitch, to accompany the rider’s second best friend.

Things To Consider Before Purchasing Your Next High-End Pet Collar
Sizing
This can get tricky. If you have a Great Dane, Saint Benard, Teacup Poodle, or Yorkshire Terrier, it may be more difficult to find a comfortably sized collar.
Luxury quality purveyors and outfitters may not be able to design for the extremes of the canine size continuum. They may not be able to sell many XXL and XXS collars for example.
The ideal size of collar will not be choking your dog and will not slip allow Tinkerbell to slip her head out. You want to be able to slip two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.
The best way to find the right size is to have a few options to try on and simply return the rest.
Craftmanship
As with anything that is finely built with an eye towards glamour, functionality, and longevity, you will need to expect to pay for what you are getting.
Pet collars, especially dog collars, have a wide range of prices.
Higher quality collars will have be constructed of thicker leather and nylon. Stitching will be double or triple stitched, or a heavier thread will be used. Connectors will usually be a strong and weather resistant metal, such as brass or stainless steel.
Think about your choice as an investment not a staple item. If you do this you should find the right collar, harness, and/or leash/lead for your pet that will last their lifetime.
Conclusion
