Bryn and Co.’s Dog Collars ($20-$35)
These handmade, recycled canvas dog collars are sturdy enough to last many Cleveland winters. Founder Erin Hill makes the water- and UV-resistant collars using industrial-grade thread and is inspired by nature when selecting most of her fabric patterns. The stimulus to start creating came from Hill’s dog, Bryn. “I know how hard dogs can be on their collars, that’s why I’m building durable, affordable gear that will withstand time and elements,” she says. etsy.com/shop/brynandco
