If you're looking for a black rope dog lead that oozes style, then look no further! Not only is this 5ft long rope lead lightweight and super strong, but it’s also water-resistant and really easy to clean. We’ve teamed it with a solid brass trigger hook and o-ring that will develop a unique patina and will age beautifully over time.

About our materials

Available in a range of colours, each hard-wearing rope dog lead is made from a three-strand marine-grade rope that has been designed to withstand hundreds of pounds of pull. We secure and strengthen the lead by hand using traditional splicing and whipping techniques that were taught to us by local sailors and fishermen from our hometown of Whitstable, England.

• UK made solid brass hardware & o-ring for attachments
• Hand spliced and whipped with waxed twine
• Strong marine-grade 10mm diameter rope that is lightweight and comfortable to use
• Lovingly handmade in the coastal town of Whitstable, England

As each rope dog leash is meticulously handcrafted to order, each one is unique - slight variations in length and colour is to be expected.
