Lightweight Leather Lead

A good lead should be strong, light, and easy to handle — and this one ticks all three boxes. At around 1.4 metres long, our lightweight leather lead gives your dog plenty of room to roam while keeping you comfortably in control. It’s especially useful for smaller breeds or anyone who prefers a lead that doesn’t feel bulky in the hand.

Each lead is handmade in our Northumberland workshop using soft Italian calf leather in your choice of 28 colours. Inside, a paracord core adds strength without adding weight, making this lead a dependable choice for daily walks, from quick morning strolls to weekend outings. The stainless steel trigger clasp gives a smooth, secure attachment, while the matching O-ring in the handle lets you wear it crossbody when your dog is off lead.

The rounded design feels smooth in your hand and softens even further with use. Whether you’re pairing it with a matching collar or choosing a colour that stands out, it’s a simple, good-looking lead that works just as well as it feels.

FAQs

How strong is the lightweight leather lead?
Despite its soft feel, the paracord core makes this lead strong enough for everyday use, even for dogs that pull.

Can I choose any colour for this lead?
Yes, it’s available in all 28 of our Italian calf leather colours. You can match your dog’s collar or choose a different shade.

Is it suitable for large dogs?
Yes — though it’s lightweight, the core and construction are strong enough to handle most breeds. For very strong pullers, a wider lead would be more suitable though.

What’s the O-ring in the handle for?
It lets you clip the lead around your shoulder or waist when your dog’s off lead, so you don’t have to carry it in your hand.

Customise your Lead

Each and every lead we sell is handmade to order by us, for you.

To create a lead as individual as your dog, simply pick your leather colour, and we'll do the rest.

A note on shades. Each hide is naturally a little individual, which is part of what makes your collar unique. These are photographed in natural daylight and are as faithful as we can get them. Screen brightness can shift things slightly, so if you want to double-check a shade before ordering, just get in touch.
