Quick Summary
The Lille Björn personalized leather dog accessories are made to order from full-grain Italian vegetable-tanned leather with solid brass hardware. To order online, choose your product line, select a color, match your dog's neck measurement to the size chart, and enter your personalization text at checkout. Every personalized piece ships with the name or text embossed directly into the leather before dispatch.
This guide covers every step of the ordering process across all product types: personalized collars, walk kits that include a personalized collar, and full bundles with a matching harness. It also explains what embossing is, what text options are available, how collar sizing works, and what to expect between ordering and delivery.
The Two Product Lines: Vero and Aeris
Every The Lille Björn collar belongs to one of two collections. Understanding which line suits your dog determines everything downstream in the ordering process.
| Line | Personalization | Collar Widths | Products | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vero | Yes: name, initials, or custom text embossed into the collar leather | 2cm, 3cm (Classic), 4.5cm (Wide) | Collar, Walk Kit, Bundle | Owners who want their dog's name permanently on the collar |
| Aeris | No embossing: fixed-width collar, hardware and leather only | 3cm (Classic), 4.5cm (Wide) | Collar, Walk Kit (with Omni or Classic Leash) | Owners who want a clean leather look without embossing |
If personalization matters, the Vero line is the correct choice. The Aeris line uses the same full-grain Italian vegetable-tanned leather and solid brass hardware but without the embossing step. Both lines use 2.8 to 3mm leather thickness and the same chromium-free tanning process.
What Embossing Means and What You Can Personalize
Embossing on the Vero collection is a deboss process: the personalization text is pressed permanently into the collar leather surface using a heated stamp, creating a recessed impression that becomes more defined as the leather develops its patina over time. Unlike printed text or stitched labels, embossed lettering is structural rather than surface-level and cannot fade, peel, or wash off under daily use.
The personalization field accepts your dog's full name, initials, or any short custom text. The embossing appears on the collar strap, positioned on the top face of the leather where it is visible when the collar sits on the dog's neck. Personalization applies to the collar piece only. In walk kits and bundles, the leash and harness are not embossed: they match the collar in leather batch, color, and hardware finish.
For owners who want name identification beyond the collar, pairing a Vero collar with a personalized engraved brass name tag adds a removable contact-detail tag that carries your phone number alongside the embossed name already on the leather. Tags follow a separate ordering process, detailed in how to get a personalized engraved dog name tag.
How to Measure Your Dog Before Ordering
All collars are sized by direct measurement, not by breed label. Breed generalizations for collar sizing are unreliable because dogs of the same breed vary significantly in neck circumference. Measure the circumference of your dog's neck at the base where the collar will sit during daily wear. Add some space to that measurement to allow for the two-finger rule, the standard veterinary guidance on collar and harness fit: you should be able to slide two fingers flat between the collar and your dog's neck when buckled.
For the full breed-specific size chart covering sizes XXS through XL, the collar and harness size guide lists exact neck circumference ranges per size. For step-by-step measuring instructions including puppies and sighthound breeds, the neck measurement guide covers every scenario in full.
Width selection
The Vero Classic collar is available in 2cm and 3cm widths, selectable as a variant at checkout. The Vero Wide and Aeris Wide collars are fixed at 4.5cm. Narrow widths (2cm) suit very small breeds with fine neck proportions. Standard widths (3cm) suit most small to large breeds. The 4.5cm wide collar is the recommended choice for sighthound breeds including Whippets, Greyhounds, and Italian Greyhounds, where the wider surface distributes pressure more safely across the narrow neck.
Step-by-Step: How to Order a Personalized Leather Dog Collar Online
- Choose your line. Vero for embossed personalization, Aeris for a clean non-personalized leather collar.
- Choose your width. For the Vero Classic, select 2cm or 3cm at the variant level. For Vero Wide or Aeris, the width is fixed at 4.5cm.
- Choose your color. Both lines are available in Black, Red, Green, Brown, and Blue. All colors use the same full-grain Italian leather; color variation comes from the vegetable dye applied during tanning.
- Select your size. Match your dog's measured neck circumference to the size chart on the product page. Sizes run XXS through XL.
- Enter your personalization text. For Vero orders, a personalization field appears at checkout. Enter your dog's name, initials, or your chosen text. This is the text embossed into the leather before dispatch.
- Complete your order. All items are made to order. Standard items ship within 1 to 5 business days. Personalized items ship within 1 to 10 business days. US tariffs are covered by The Lille Björn on all US orders.
How to Order a Walk Kit or Bundle
Walk kits and bundles allow you to order two or three matching pieces as a single purchase at a 10% saving versus buying each piece separately. Personalization via embossing applies to the collar piece in every walk kit and bundle. The leash and harness match in leather batch, color, and solid brass hardware.
Walk kits (2 pieces, 10% saving)
A walk kit pairs a collar and leash, or a harness and leash, cut from the same Italian leather batch. Walk kits are available in the Vero line (with collar embossing) and the Aeris line (without embossing). The leash in each kit is selectable as either the Classic fixed-length leather leash or the Omni hands-free leash, which converts between crossbody, waist-worn, and handheld configurations. Browse the full range of leather dog walk kits in all five colors and both leash configurations.
Bundles (3 pieces, 10% saving, free nametag)
A bundle includes a matching collar, leash, and harness, plus a free laser-engraved recycled brass name tag. The collar in the bundle is the Vero Wide (4.5cm) with name embossing. The leash and harness match the collar in leather and hardware but do not carry embossing. The bundle is available in five colors across sizes XXS through XL for the collar and XXXS through XL for the harness. For a complete leather dog accessory bundle covering every daily walking piece in one order, this is the most efficient purchase path.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ordering Personalized Leather Dog Accessories
How do I order a personalized leather dog collar from The Lille Björn?
Select the Vero collar in your preferred width (2cm, 3cm, or 4.5cm), choose your color and size, and enter your dog's name or personalization text in the field at checkout. The name is embossed directly into the collar leather before dispatch. Personalized orders ship within 1 to 10 business days.
What is the difference between the Vero and Aeris collections?
The Vero collection offers personalization through leather embossing and is available in collar widths of 2cm, 3cm, and 4.5cm. The Aeris collection has no embossing option and is available in fixed widths of 3cm (Classic) and 4.5cm (Wide). Both use the same full-grain Italian vegetable-tanned leather and solid brass hardware.
Can I get a matching personalized collar, harness, and leash set?
Yes. The Lille Björn bundles include a matching collar, leash, and harness cut from the same Italian leather batch, plus a free engraved brass name tag, at 10% off versus buying each piece separately. The collar in the bundle carries the embossed name. The leash and harness match in leather and hardware but do not have embossing. Walk kits pair a collar and leash, or a harness and leash, at the same 10% saving.
Does embossing look the same across all colors?
Embossing creates a debossed impression in the leather surface. The contrast of the lettering against the leather varies by color: it tends to be more visible on lighter colors (Brown, Red, Green) and more subtle on Black, where the impression reads as a tonal effect in the leather. The impression deepens and becomes more defined as the leather develops its patina over time.
What text can I put on a personalized leather dog collar?
The Vero collar personalization field accepts your dog's full name, initials, or any short custom text that fits the embossing area on the collar strap. There is no restriction on using a name, a word, or a short phrase. For specific character count questions, contact the team at support@thelillebjorn.com before ordering.
How do I know which size to order?
Measure your dog's neck circumference with a soft tape measure at the base of the neck. Add some space to allow for the two-finger rule. Match the result to the size chart on the product page. If you are between sizes, size up. The full measurement guide covers every scenario including puppies and breeds with unusual neck proportions.
Does personalization cost extra?
No. Embossing is included in the product price across the entire Vero collection. There is no additional charge for adding your dog's name to a Vero collar. The only price difference between the Vero and Aeris lines reflects collar width options and configurations, not the embossing itself.
