I don't normally buy leather goods - particularly collars, cuffs or floggers - because my partner makes them. It's a point of pride that he's made just about every collar I've ever worn. But when I saw the Multiple "o" doggie collar|Multiple "O" doggie collar here on Edenfantasys I could not resist. When I opened the box upon receiving it I was not disappointed.

This collar is really, really pretty. I love the shade of pink. It's not bright or unnatural looking. It's almost a neutral pink. Soft. Pretty. Very girly. A rather sensual pink. Yum. The leather smell was quite strong when I opened the packaging. Another major yum. It's also amazingly well made, especially for its price range. You just don't normally find a collar of this quality for a price this good. The O rings are sewn in and very secure. The liner is also sewn and it's very soft. No rough edges, no scratchiness. Incredibly soft even fresh out of the box.

We put it on and it was a good fit. Plenty of room for someone larger than me - and I'm pretty much "average" at a size 12, plenty of room to tighten for someone smaller. It was a little stiff, being new, but the more I wear it the softer it gets. No irritation from extended wear (other than the day I wore it on a bike ride and, really, that was my own fault for incessantly craning my neck) and no wear in the leather even after a day of sweating while wearing it.

All in all I couldn't be more pleased with this collar. It's pretty, it's feminine, it feels good and looks even better. I've gotten more compliments on it and pretty much no one has looked at me askance as sometimes happens in my black leather collars. The only thing missing is a D or O ring in the back for a leash. Some of us like our leashes, you know. :)

Overall, I love this and am now craving the matching cuffs!

I've worn this collar twice more since we got it and I've found it to be a bit less comfortable than I'd initially thought it was.

The edges seem to have gotten a little rougher with wear.

Nothing that would prevent me from wearing it but something to be aware of for those with sensitive skin.

And I still crave the matching cuffs! :)
