About Us
Handcrafted Collars Made With Heart, Skill & a Whole Lot of Love for Dogs

Hi! I’m Angela the maker behind Barkshire Braids and the muddy boy here is my dog Jake. Barkshire Braids is a small UK-based business dedicated to creating high-quality, handcrafted dog accessories that look beautiful, feel comfortable, and last through every muddy adventure.
Barkshire Braids started with one simple goal: to create dog gear that was as stylish as it was durable.
Nothing flimsy, nothing mass-produced — just reliable craftsmanship and meaningful design.
What Makes Us Different
🧵 Handmade Craftsmanship
Every collar, lead, or accessory is woven, assembled, and quality-checked by hand. No factory lines. No shortcuts.
🐕 Designed by a Dog Owner, Tested by a Dog
I know what dogs put their gear through — because mine tests every new style through zoomies, mud baths, and rainy walks.
💪 Premium Materials
We use only trusted, adventure-ready materials:
Paracord for strength and flexibility
Biothane for waterproof, wipe-clean practicality
High-quality hardware to resist weather and wear
Hexa Waterproof Webbing for quality and affordable accessories
🎨 Made for Personality
Every dog is unique, and their gear should be too.
Choose colours, styles, and fits that reflect who they are — bold, elegant, cheeky, or glamorous.
💛 A Small Business With Big Heart
When you support Barkshire Braids, you’re supporting a real person, a real dog, and a dream that started at a kitchen table.
