    Scarlett's simple but pretty collar, 6 years down the line!
    Whitney C.

    Not like Paco Collars needs another glowing review, but here I am anyway.... I'd lived down the street from Paco before I had a dog, and always used to walk by and think "what the hell kind of store sells JUST dog collars" (and I'm obviously not the only one, since their sign cheekily answered my inner thoughts). Finally, I decided to look on their website to see what they offered, and was blown away by how gorgeous all their offerings were. As much as I'd mentally professed indignation before, after looking, I told myself that once I got a dog, it was going to get a Paco. About a year later, I was in the application process for a dog down at Berkeley Animal Care Services, while Paco had a Labor Day sale going on. I bit the bullet and ordered the collar before I even had the dog home and crossed fingers I wasn't jinxing my adoption. Fast forward to today. Six years later, I and my dog have been across the country and back on hiking, camping, and swimming trips, 3 moves, 3 years of rough and tumble dog daycare, and countless other adventures, all in her Paco. Throughout all this, we consistently get compliments on how beautiful her collar is and how unique/well made it is. Maybe 2 or 3 stones have fallen out (or been pulled out by wrestling dogs playing collar-grab), and each time Paco more than happily repaired it for me. We've never had a bigger repair than that, but I have friends who have and they truly stand by their guarantees without issue. At one point the stones in her collar were blue, but we fancied a change to pink- that was easy as pie too! Thank you, Paco, for making gorgeous collars that are both beautiful and durable. I'm totally a lifelong convert and recommend you guys to all the dog people in my life... and am waiting for the day I cave in and splurge on that Giant Hoshi ;)

    Paco's does dog collars but also does belts (left: adorned partially by Paco's; right: everything except buckle was made by Paco's).

    Few things bring me more joy than revisiting a 5-star place four years later and finding that it's still a 5-star place. Paco Collars is that place. Were my dog the type to sport a collar I'd likely spring for one of Paco's. Even then though, I'd be adding a worry to my day: in addition to fearing someone might steal my dog I'd feel added angst worrying that they'd also steal her collar. These gorgeous collars are theft-worthy though I don't endorse such behavior. What brought me back to Paco's was the same thing that brought me there to begin with: a leather belt or rather, 2 leather belts. Four years hence and one belt had lost some of its bling and what remained was destroying the waistband of my jeans. The other belt had a different issue, completely leather-related. Both of these concerns were resolved on the spot, in about 20 minutes for what I found to be a reasonable charge but anyone can do that in theory. It was the way it was done that speaks to the attitude of the place and the service level of its staff. If I look up "best in class service" somewhere I'd expect to see there the woman who helped me on this visit. For a price, Paco's Collars can custom make your dog a collar that will make her the envy of all. They can also make a beautiful belt. Basically, if it's leather and studded, they can make it to your specifications and they'll do so with the most charming of attitudes. It's such a pleasure to handle hand-crafted leatherwork that I'm sorry I can't think of anything else to have the Paco's staff make for me. I can't think of anything, but perhaps you can and now you know where to go to get it done. Five stars again, four years later? Indeed.

    I ordered a custom collar for my big guy from Paco Collars and they did not disappoint. I emailed back and forth with them about designs and actually changed my mind several times during the design process and they were great. The collar itself is absolutely amazing quality and looks even better in person - I constantly get compliments on it. I know this is the last collar I'll need to buy as it will hold up and I couldn't be more happy with it.

    Beautiful leash repair, and Lone Star bling. My dog loved it.

    I have the great fortune of living just down the street fro Paco Collars world headquarters. I love seeing what I call "Paco Dogs", as their collars are a reflection of the ridiculous love for dogs that we have around here (as it should be!). My own dog's head is smaller than his neck, so no Paco Collar for him. However, when his leather leash broke (one that has been in the family for about 20 years now), I could finally make him a "Paco Dog" because Laur charged me just a tiny bit to fix it for me, adding a touch of understated Lone Star bling. My dog trotted out of the shop with his disproportionately small head held high. He's a Paco Dog now.

    We were lucky to be gifted a Paco Collar in the past and knew our next one would from them. We recently upgraded to a new GPS tracker for our dog which is built into the ugliest collar. I contacted Paco and asked if they could make a custom collar. They provided numerous options for us. The COVID 19 shelter in place took place before we could pick up the collar, but they shipped it right to our house! I love the way it turned out. It's beautiful with great craftsmanship. We get a lot of compliments on Duke's new collar.

    Thank you so much!!!!!

    Paco Collars sent my dog Hazel a new collar after it got stolen out of my car. THIS is what supporting small business looks like, they actually care about their customers. Words can't express how thankful we are for this. Amazing company, amazing people. Also, I love that whenever I see a dog wearing a Paco, I know exactly what company made their collar. Like true art, you know who the artist is. Amazing collars; worth every penny.

    The amount of compliments I get on Maple's collar every time we go out is insane! Still in love with the quality Paco Collars upholds

    All time favorite place for leather dog collars! Handcrafted and customized, this will be our second collar for our beloved fur babies. The collars will definitely become heirlooms and will be loving passed on when they are no longer needed. Our 120 lbs Rottie use to run to us when we took this comfy collar out to hit the town. Now our new foster fail Dobie will know he's found his forever home when he's wearing his beautiful new collar from Paco Collars. PS- we love their lifetime warranty!

    I have been dreaming of these collars for over 2 years. And today, I had the most wonderful in person experience there. I took all three of my rescue dogs into Paco today for some new bling!!! I was completely over whelmed with the wonderful selection of sizes, widths, designs, studs, colors and combinations you can choose from. A wonderful associate named, Yovanny sat down and spent over 2 hours with me helping me construct the perfect design and fit for my 3 different sized dogs. He had tremendous patience and interacted well with my "Muttley Crew". These collars also come with a lifetime gaurentee. If a stone or stud falls out, they will fix it at no extra charge. If you live out of the area, I also heard they will pay shipping on repairs too. If you are nuts about your dog. And are in the Berkeley area, then you must check these guys out!!! These guys will custom make the collars of your dreams!!!!!

    bad ass collar for one bad ass puppy

    It's difficult to find parking.The collars are pricey but it's all WORTH IT in the end. These collars are guaranteed for life and they even offer cleaning services to make it look swanky and new after your doggy rolls in the mud and plays at the beach. The collars are sturdy and you an tell that they are handcrafted with pride. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell that they really care about their work and that they treat the collars like an artist would with his masterpiece. The best selling point for me is that they will fix the collar for free if it ever breaks (normal use of course!) and that they will turn the collar into a human bracelet once your doggie goes to heaven (for free!!!). I love how they have so many choices and I especially dig the blingy collars! They will make a collar from scratch if you find one in their stash that is not the right size for your beloved pup. For the bargain hunters out there, they have a bin where you can negotiate a price. These collars on sale are good but they're made by trainees so they're not up to their quality control standards, but I think they said they still guarantee those collars and will still repair them even if they broke. Also, another cool thing about these collars is that many people recognize them. Hubby and I were walking around Berkeley and people kept stopping us to say "Hey! Paco Collar!" That clearly shows you that you're buying from a very reputable business. People always comment on how gorgeous the collar looks on our Misha. I'm even thinking of getting The Kippy one since they do make cat collars.

    Bubba's custom collar and matching bracelet they custom made.
    Danielle G.

    When I got Bubba, one of the first things I did was buy him a custom Paco collar and matching leash. He sported it for the rest of his life and I never needed to buy him a collar again, because of the amazing quality that goes into their craftsmanship. When your pet passes away, the company offers to craft a bracelet or pendant as a keepsake out of your pet's collar (they do this free of charge, and put priority on your piece over all their other orders). I received Bubba's custom leash back in the mail today in the form of this beautiful bracelet, and now I always have him close to me. Paco Collars is an amazing company that supports Pit Bull rescue, fosters animals and are not only champions of style and the human/animal bond, they truely care about their customers and I would recommend them to any friend that loves their pets. I know one thing from my whole experience with Paco Collars; they've got me as a customer for life.

    Breezy indeed.

    I am bursting with fruit flavor like you wouldn't believe! After chomping at the bit waiting for our resident breezy to reach a respectable size, we finally deemed her ready for a Paco Collar. These collars will cost you a pretty penny but I can't stress enough, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. And if you are a fan of Paco Collars and Fetching Tags on Facebook, you'll be lucky to catch a sale as I did. Online shopping is available. However, I recommend visiting the shop to meet with Ana and her wonderful staff for not only a consult but to meet the resident X-Dog and one of the many dogs they foster. In addition to the many style of collars offered, you'll find that you can pick and choose various details such as leather color, gems and matching leads. Each piece is personal. Turnaround time is approx 2-3 weeks. When I picked up my dog's collar, I could not contain my giddiness. Marley's collar is downright brilliant. It's HOOD-RICH. PC - Thank you for tolerating my many name and tagline changes. The end product is MAGNIFICENT.

    Just got my Paco Collar and Leash in the mail! And really, I am sooo happy with them both (2" wide Deputy Deluxe in black leather with brass hardware, and the Over the Shoulder Rover Holder in black leather with brass hardware as well). They are super sturdy, fantastic looking, and just plain badass. :) I'll post a pic of Buddha in his new collar.

    See all

    Sven Design - 10/22/2024:  Roseville Shoe Repair replaced the backpack's zipper, repaired the rip, and replaced the inner lining.

    Sven Design

    West Berkeley

    10/22/2024: Fast forward from 2006 after purchasing a custom-made, leather backpack I commissioned…read moreSven's Owner's Daughter, Liza creating which I directed the design I wanted and tailored for globetrotting around the Planet, the backpack's main compartment zipper finally split! Welp~I called Sven inquiring replacing the backpack's zipper; however, to my utter dismay and severely disappointed, Sven will NOT replace the zipper. Instead, the Sven Customer Service's suggestion was taking the backpack to a Shoe Repair in Berkeley CA replacing the zipper which left me utterly taken aback and ruefully surprised, i.e., thus--a star was removed from my updated, 2024 YELP! Review! Still, the goat skin leather backpack has held its value according to Slavik, the Owner of Roseville Shoe Repair who replaced the backpack's main compartment zipper with a high-quality, metal zipper which I supplied Slavik the metal zipper and metal pull tabs. In addition, Slavik repaired the backpack's main compartment's interior, polyester lining which ripped sewing goat skin leather, lining replacement reinforcements, installed new leather pull tabs for the front compartment zipper, and the backpack's main compartment zipper pull tabs as well. Slavik also stated the leather used creating my backpack is goat skin which today, is quite costly if, I were to commission Sven creating another leather backpack, i.e., costing about $600.00 by today's present time. In fact, when I perused Sven's URL, Sven doesn't have the backpack design I created for my globetrotting needs! Indeed, I designed a unique, leather backpack NOBODY owns, i.e., which I'm so happy I commissioned Sven creating: Double pull tabs for the backpack's main compartment, double pull tabs for the front compartment, the backpack's strap can be utilized as a sling or utilized as a traditional backpack, a newly installed 2024 metal zipper for the main compartment, two exterior side pockets, goat skin leather interior lining, an interior zipper pocket, and an RFID storage compartment comprising the integrity, longevity, and retaining its high value! Overall and despite, Sven not replacing the backpack's main compartment zipper, I'm truly happy I had commissioned Sven's Daughter, Liza creating a goat skin leather backpack NOBODY owns! Hmmm~Maybe I should patent and copyright my design, eh, Sven? Lol!

    one of my favorite features... the side zipper for stashing keys (or whatever, I use it for keys)…read more Now that cars don't require the engagement of a key, you still want them with you for the house, the car registering their presence, etc. The extra stash place means no fishing around, not extra stuff filling up the main purse compartment, yet if they are needed for one of the other keys on the ring, they are handy. With the zipper, you never lose them. Brilliant design. SVEN are the only purses I buy and most of my family has received a wallet or travel purse at this point. Great stuff, locally made, awesome owners. So says The Queen of Boogie Woogie and it is the Truth.
