Handcrafted Modern Dog Collars

Benji + Moon’s Collars are Designed by Local Artisans

— December 27, 2019 — Lifestyle
For the fashion-forward owner, it is important that their furry companion is stylish as well – from contemporary pet beds to modern dog collar. Benji + Moon, which is a brand from South Africa, answers consumer demand in the latter category. The collection is versatile, with designs ranging “from minimalist to playful to sophisticated.” Each modern dog collar is made by hand by local artisans who used “high quality, vegetable-tanned leathers.” In addition, the dyes are non-toxic so one does not need to worry about harmful chemicals. The modern dog collars are complete with slick hardware and exquisite stitching.

Benji + Moon offers its new product range at an affordable price and 5% of every purchase goes to support the operations of CLAW (Community Led Animal Welfare).
