Care Guide
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, treat with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild soap. Wipe away any residue and allow to air dry before use. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners as this can cause damage to the material and compromise its water-resistant properties. For added protection and durability, we recommend applying carnauba wax or beeswax regularly.
Never leave your furry friend unattended wearing a bandana, bow tie or any other accessory. They are not chew proof, and are best kept away from teething puppies and dogs who like to chew.

What’s so special about our collars? It's all about the bark!
From the bark of the Cork Oak...
In the unique Montados of Portugal, the mighty Cork Oak trees stand tall. Once they reach maturity at 25 years, the outer bark is carefully harvested every nine years, allowing the tree to regenerate naturally. As it grows, the Cork Oak absorbs carbon dioxide, helping purify the air, while its canopy offers shelter and food for wildlife.
...to consciously made dog goods.
The cork bark is made into sheets and bonded to fabric, creating a durable, sustainable alternative to animal leather and synthetic materials.
At Ohminme, we turn this incredible material into beautifully handcrafted dog goods. Each piece is thoughtfully designed, hand-painted, and paired with solid brass hardware. With its natural water- and stain-resistance, our cork collars are perfect for everyday adventures.

The Collar FAQ
One comes from trees, the other from animals. Cork leather is plant-based, renewable, and kind to the Earth. Animal leather is traditional and long-lasting, but comes with environmental and ethical concerns.
Cork Leather
Pros: Made from the bark of cork oak trees — a renewable, sustainable resource. The bark is harvested without harming the tree, allowing it to keep growing and absorbing CO₂. Cork leather is naturally biodegradable, water-resistant, lightweight, and durable.
Cons: Limited color and texture options compared to animal leather. Low-quality cork fabrics are often backed with synthetic materials like polyester, contributing to microplastic pollution. It also takes about 25 years for a cork oak to mature, with 9-year intervals between harvests.
At Ohminme, we use only premium cork leather from a small family-run supplier in Portugal. It’s backed with GOTS-certified organic cotton canvas and bonded with suberin, a natural resin found in cork. No synthetics, no compromises.
Animal Leather
Pros: Offers a classic look and feel, with a wide range of textures and colours. Durable and can age well with care.
Cons: It comes with a significant environmental cost. Livestock farming contributes to deforestation, high water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions. Most leather is treated with toxic chemicals for preservation and dyeing, which makes it non-biodegradable.
Bright or vibrant colours (any shade not naturally found in nature) often rely on synthetic dyes and heavy metals. These substances can harm ecosystems and have been linked to serious health risks, including cancer.
There are also ongoing ethical concerns around animal welfare.
Choosing between cork fabric and animal leather comes down to personal values, ethical considerations, and environmental priorities. Cork leather offers a modern, sustainable alternative with everyday functionality, while animal leather holds a classic appeal but comes with significant environmental and ethical concerns.
Your dog's comfort is our priority, which is why our collars, made from plant-based cork leather, offer numerous benefits. The cork has a soft, luxurious feel while maintaining durability, ensuring lasting comfort for your dog.
Opting for a wider collar aids in evenly distributing pressure around your dog's neck, particularly beneficial for dogs prone to pulling or with neck sensitivity, thus reducing the risk of strain during walks. Plus, you'll have peace of mind knowing it's completely natural and biodegradable, returning to the earth at the end of its use without leaving behind any harmful microplastics.
While we don't offer engraving directly on collars at this time, you can still add a personal touch with our custom name tags. These natural and lightweight ID tags can be engraved with your dog's name and your phone number, making them a stylish and practical addition to your dog's collar or harness.
Absolutely! Cork leather is naturally strong, scratch-resistant, and water-resistant, making it perfect for daily walkies, muddy adventures, and everything in between.
It’s lightweight and gentle on your dog’s neck, but tough enough to handle pulling and everyday wear and tear. Plus, it’s super easy to clean and doesn’t mind getting wet.
Unlike synthetic materials, our cork leather collars , harnesses, and leashes are entirely natural. So when your pup’s collar reaches the end of its journey, it can break down in your compost bin without leaving behind any nasties (visit our Happy Earth Program to learn more).
Durable, stylish, and kind to the planet - what’s not to love?
We’ve got 4 adjustable sizes to suit most pups - extra small, small, medium, and large. Just check our size guide to find the best fit, and if you’re unsure, we’re always happy to help.
When choosing a collar for your dog, follow these steps:
1. Measure your dog's neck: Use a soft tape measure to get the circumference of your dog's neck where the collar will sit naturally.
2. Adjustability: Choose a collar that can be easily adjusted to fit your dog comfortably. Each collar comes with 5 holes, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your dog.
3. Two-finger rule: Ensure you can fit 1-2 fingers between the collar and your dog's neck to confirm it's snug but not too tight.
4. Safety considerations: Avoid collars that are too tight (causing discomfort) or too loose (risking slipping off or getting caught).
5. Choose the larger size: If your dog is between sizes, it's best to choose the larger size and adjust it for a more comfortable fit.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure your dog's collar is both safe and comfortable.
It’s easy! Just wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. For extra muddy adventures, a few drops of lukewarm water and mild soap will do the trick. We don't recommend soaking, scrubbing or machine washing.
Want to give it some extra love? Apply beeswax or carnauba wax every now and then for extra protection.
Psst... unlike animal leather, cork doesn’t mind getting wet. And compared to fabric collars, our cork collars are a breeze to keep clean (no more scrubbing mystery stains!). Adventure-ready and easy to care for, just how we like it!
