About HLW
We are a small manufacturer of dog collars and leads, specializing in authentic Scottish clan plaids, located in Seattle, Washington. Our products are handcrafted in the USA.
The HLW line was first introduced in 1988
in New York City at Macy's Herald Square.
Macy's promoted the line as the "Ralph Lauren" of collars and leads.
HLW dog and cat products were marketed for 10 years at prestige pet boutiques throughout the US as well as at Orvis and Eddie Bauer stores and catalogs.
HLW Tartan and Safari styles were favorites of Harrods of London and Selfridges
customers for nearly a decade. Our line was so Scottish-looking, tourists and British
shoppers believed the products were made in Scotland!
Production ceased in 1998, a year after its founder took an executive position at Nordstrom headquarters in Seattle. Ongoing requests for our exclusive tartans and the growth of the internet, compelled us to go back into production in late 2007.
