Ruffle Collar
What Is a Ruffle Dog Collar?
A ruffle dog collar is a beautiful and playful accessory designed to add a little extra charm to your dog's everyday look. Unlike a traditional collar, a ruffle collar features a soft, gathered fabric detail that sits around the neck, creating a cute and elegant appearance.
At The Loempie, our ruffle collars are handmade with carefully selected fabrics and finished edges. An elastic band around the neck helps create a comfortable fit while allowing your dog to enjoy wearing their accessory.
Whether you're dressing your pup for a special occasion, a family photo, a birthday, or simply want to add something extra to their everyday outfit, a handmade ruffle collar is an easy way to make their personality shine.
Why Choose a Ruffle Collar for Your Dog?
Ruffle collars are a wonderful choice for dog parents who love combining comfort with beautiful design. They add a distinctive finishing touch without compromising on the lightweight feel your dog needs for everyday wear.
A Cute and Elegant Look
The soft ruffle creates an instantly charming look and pairs beautifully with your dog's natural personality. Choose from different colors, patterns, and fabrics to find a style that suits your pup.
Handmade With Care
Every The Loempie accessory is handmade in our studio in the Netherlands. Each piece is created with attention to detail, from selecting the fabric to the final stitching.
Comfortable for Everyday Wear
Our ruffle collars are made with lightweight fabric and an elastic neckband, designed with comfort in mind. The elastic construction allows the collar to sit comfortably around your dog's neck without the rigid feel of a traditional accessory.
Perfect for Special Moments
A ruffle collar can make your dog's outfit extra special for birthdays, holidays, weddings, family photographs, parties, or simply a day out together.
Please remember that ruffle collars are accessories rather than toys. Your dog should always be supervised while wearing one.
How to Measure Your Dog for a Ruffle Collar
Choosing the correct size starts with an accurate measurement.
Use a soft fabric measuring tape to measure around your dog's neck and head area as recommended in The Loempie's sizing guide. Take the measurement while your dog is standing naturally and avoid pulling the tape too tightly.
The collar should sit comfortably around your dog's neck without restricting movement. You should be able to fit approximately two fingers comfortably between the accessory and your dog's neck.
Measuring Tips
-
Use a flexible fabric measuring tape rather than a rigid ruler.
-
Measure your dog's neck while they are standing naturally.
-
Keep the tape comfortably snug, but do not pull it tight.
-
If your dog has very thick or fluffy fur, allow a little extra room.
-
Always check the measurements against the size chart before ordering.
-
If you're between sizes, contact us if you need help choosing the most suitable option.
Because every The Loempie piece is handmade, small variations in measurements may occur.
Ruffle Dog Collar Sizes
Our ruffle collars are currently available in five sizes. The size guide is based on the neck and head measurement:
Size Neck & Head Measurement
XS 27 cm
S 33 cm
M 35 cm
L 40 cm
XL 45 cm
These measurements are intended as a guide. Since our products are handmade, slight variations can occur. We recommend measuring your dog before placing an order rather than choosing a size based only on breed or weight.
If your dog has particularly fluffy fur, you may need to allow additional room for a comfortable fit.
How to Care for a Handmade Ruffle Collar
Your ruffle collar is handmade with care, so treating it gently will help keep it looking beautiful for longer.
Washing
Ruffle collars can be hand washed or machine washed on a gentle cycle using cold water. A gentle wash helps protect the fabric and the shape of the ruffle.
Drying
After washing, gently reshape the ruffle and lay the collar flat to dry. Avoid unnecessarily twisting or stretching the elastic.
Ironing
If needed, you can use a warm or low-temperature iron to smooth the fabric. Take care around the elastic and decorative ruffle, and avoid excessive heat.
Everyday Care
Keep the collar away from chewing and inspect it regularly for signs of wear. Our accessories are not chew-proof or toys, so dogs should always be supervised while wearing them.
With a little gentle care, your handmade ruffle collar can remain a beautiful part of your dog's wardrobe for many special moments.
