In the Made From RI workshops, every dog collar begins not with nylon or ribbon, but with memory.

Jennifer sits at a traditional sewing machine... its hum familiar, its rhythm inherited. This isn’t just any machine. It once belonged to her late mother, who used it to craft costumes for Rhode Island’s Looking Glass Theater, a beloved local troupe that shimmered with imagination. Now, that same machine stitches strength and story into every collar Jennifer makes.

But the story doesn’t start there. It began with a puppy... the Made From RI family's own. A collar was needed, so Jennifer made one. Then, that puppy’s sibling from another litter came to live with her father. Another collar was needed. And so, the ritual began: one collar became two, then many. What started as a gesture of care within a family became a quiet offering to all.

These collars aren’t mass-produced. They’re made one at a time, by hands that remember. By a daughter honoring her mother’s legacy, and by a maker honoring the bond between dog and human.

Solid Webbed Dog Collars: Everyday Grace

5/8" Nylon Collar: Lightweight and strong, perfect for smaller dogs or those who prefer a gentler fit. Available in vibrant solids like Ocean Blue and Hot Lime Green.

1" Nylon Collar: A bit more heft for larger breeds, with contoured side-release buckles and heavy-welded D rings. Built for daily walks, built to last.

These are the quiet workhorses... simple, sturdy, and stitched with care.

Printed Collars: Personality in Pattern

1" Nylon With Print Designs: Grosgrain ribbon overlays add charm and character. Choose Adirondack Chairs, Bones and Paws, or Anchors for a touch of whimsy.

These collars are more than accessories...they’re declarations of love, stitched with flair.

Made From RI: Where Craft Meets Covenant

Jennifer doesn’t just make collars. She continues a legacy of Rhode Island craftsmanship... where theater, memory, and devotion converge. Her sewing machine isn’t just a tool; it’s a vessel of inheritance. And each collar is a quiet offering: to the dog who wears it, to the person who chooses it, and to the mother who once stitched stories into stage costumes.
