Leather Clip Lead
A traditional leather dog lead for everyday walking, handmade in our Derbyshire workshop.
Featuring a trigger clip and a leather loop handle, this classic walking lead includes a loose O-ring captured within the handle. The ring allows you to clip the lead around your body when not in use, dropping naturally to the bottom of the handle during walks to keep it away from your grip.
Choose between our standard 20mm width and the slimmer 12mm option, with riveted or hand saddle-stitched construction available in both.
1m plus handle · 20mm width · Trigger clip fastening · Loose handle O-ring

Length and Use
Our leather clip leads are designed for everyday walking, with a fixed length, single trigger clip and traditional loop handle.
The lead measures approximately 1m plus the handle, providing a straightforward walking lead without the additional clips or adjustment points found on our training leads.
A loose O-ring is captured within the handle, allowing you to clip the lead around your body for convenient carrying when it is not attached to your dog. During walks, the ring drops to the bottom of the handle, keeping it away from your grip.
The standard 20mm width offers a broader leather strap and more substantial fittings, while the 12mm option provides a slimmer, lighter alternative. Both widths can be selected directly from this listing.

Reviews
Great quality and looks spectacular!
Fit perfectly! Great product. I asked the seller for the tracking number and they never responded (that's why the 2/5 for customer service).
So pleased with the leather lead. Lovely quality and crafted so well. Customer service was great too. Will be ordering more items.
Looks and feels great. My dogs will get many years of great looking collars out of these I think and comfortable for them to wear
Great quality leads, quick responses to questions and well packaged. Would recommend and buy again (in fact I have!)
