Frequently Asked Questions

What are the leashes and collars made of?

We use two types of PVC-coated polyester webbing materials.For the Colours By Emma original colour, the CLOUD, we use a polyester webbing with a smooth PVC coat.

For all other colours, we use BioThane, a vegan-leather material that mimics a leathery texture on the surface. Instead of a completely smooth finish, you will find very fine ridges and bumps, just like you may feel on natural leather.

Both materials are WATERPROOF, ODOUR-RESISTANT, and EASY TO CLEAN. We always ensure an edge-seal to avoid any moisture seeping into the Biothane and PVC materials.

What is a training handle?

Training handles, also known as Traffic handles or grab tabs, are short handles that you can grab onto when you need to quickly grab a hold of your dog.

They can be used as standalone handles, or attached to your leash to make a traffic leash.

Perfect for moments when you are letting your dog off-leash but want to ensure a way to grab a hold of your dog, or in training sessions when working on close-range commands, such as the heel walk.

What is the ZeroWaste Wave™?

The Colours By Emma ZeroWaste Wave is a CBE original cutting method that not only creates a unique touch to our dog leashes and collars, but also reduces our material scraps to virtually zero*.

Colours By Emma is committed to doing our part in taking care of our planet, and our goal is to minimize the waste that results from our production process.

With the ZeroWaste Wave cut, we've been able to reduce our scrap waste by 99%* per material roll that is used for our dog leashes and collars.

*Inevitably there are two scrap pieces that we have to produce on both ends of the material roll, as they sometimes come in dirty or damaged from the material manufacturer.
