This silk is pure elegance! The gold Chinese symbols are taken from a Tang Dynasty poem and woven on a gorgeous burgundy silk. This collar would look stunning on almost any colored hound. Made to my exacting standards, I first hand cut and turned the fabric to create the trim which I then sewed on to the web base.The strong but flexible web base was first wrapped in a luxurious cuddle satin, leaving no exposed webbing to rub or chafe senstive necks.
