Mandy Jacques has created a line of durable dog collars using unwanted or unneeded firefighter equipment. Upcycling this heavy-duty material gives each piece of old equipment a new life.
The durable dog collars are designed to maintain the firefighter-esque characteristics. Each collar is unique in its own way because the material used is authentic and the collar combines multiple pieces of gear that cannot be duplicated. The collars are adorned with natural flaws left behind from real firefighting training camps.
They are available in various colors and sizes and they are each equipped with a plastic or metal clasp. When firefighter equipment gets upgraded, there is no longer a need to keep the old pieces laying around and the strong material makes the perfect collar for pets.
