Sophie Darling X Franks Goods BioThane® Lead

Here at Franks Goods we love a local maker, especially ones with gorgeous doggies. So when Brighton based designer Sophie Darling and I met via our four legged friends and discovered a mutual love of making it sparked an idea. An idea in the shape of Black & Gold...

Our classic Black is the main colour of this lead with beautiful highlights of Gold. This lead and matching collar have been designed for and are worn by Sophie's dog Frida the Vizsla and our very own Frank.

This BioThane® lead is available in sizes S/M and M/L to suit all dog sizes and are handmade in our workshop by the sea in Brighton, UK.

S/M - 16mm wide to suit toy / small / medium breeds

M/L - 19mm wide to suit medium / large / x-large breeds

Our leads are 120cm (4ft) in length with a fixed solid brass d-ring at the handle loop to attach poo bags or other accessories. All our leads come with solid brass trigger clips as standard. Please note the M/L lead has a much heavier clip than the S/M.

If you would like one of our premium solid brass scissor clips on your lead instead of our standard trigger clip then please add our 'Scissor Clip Add On' to your basket as well.

If you require a shorter, longer or wider lead we can easily accommodate this, just send us an email with your requirements.

A little bit about Franks Goods...

Our mission was to design a range of practical, simple but stylish waterproof collars and leads with swimming and outdoor dog adventures in mind.

Our handmade collars and leads are made of BioThane®, a very strong rubber coated webbing that has a soft pliable leather like look and feel.  BioThane® is water resistant, mould resistant, odour resistant, anti-bacterial and easy to keep clean. The ideal material for any active pup, especially if your dog likes a swim or gets very dirty during their walks, simply wipe it clean afterwards and it will be as good as new.

BioThane® has proven durability in applications where safety, clean-ability, flexibility and strength are critical. It is a trusted brand in a variety of sports, such as equestrianism, as well as in the military and international space organisations. 

BioThane® is the brand name of the highest quality waterproof webbing that is currently available on the market. Genuine BioThane® waterproof webbing is of a higher quality, much smoother to touch, flexuous and more durable with a longer lifeline than other cheaper waterproof webbings on the market.

The material is very durable and strong with an average breaking strength of around 340kg. 

Our collars and leads are 100% waterproof which includes the metal hardware. You won't find cheap alloy metal rivets over here that rust away and fall off over time. We only use solid brass roller buckles, rings and screws on our collars and leads.
