Holly & Lil
Holly&Lil was set up by Sarah Wyndham Lewis & Elaine Jones and the company is named after their own dogs; who met on Primrose Hill, in London, when they were puppies.Bemoaning the lack of truly original and high quality dog collars, they stated handmaking their own beautiful collars for Holly(a collie cross) & Lil (a flatcoat retriever) and then for their own friends dogs - quickly it became a full time business.
The collars are handmade in England by a traditional leather craftsman. Their designs use only the highest quality leathers and are created as limited editions in fabulous colours - but with the emphasis on wearability - because Holly & Lil are both irrepressible, swimmers, mud puddlers and general Tomboys.
Holly&Lil also offer unique, one-of-a-kind Charm and Boho Collars for special occasion wear. Every Charm collar is individually handmade as a complete one off - which is why the delivery time may be upto 28days. But they are worth waiting for.
Both Holly and Lil live with two cats each.... so now Holly&Lil make cat charm collars too!
Remember all Holly&Lil collars bear a lovely little lilac enamel heart, so you can ensure it is a genuine, high quality, Holly&Lil collar.
