Let’s be honest: I ordered this 6ft jade-green Fei and Eve hand-braided SP cotton dog leash because it’s aesthetically pleasing & at time of receipt it was $12.99, which is a steal.Satisfactions: The quality feels nice. I prefer round (rather than flat) leashes, which this lives up to. The braided hand grip is comfortable to hold & big enough to slip my hand through when I need it around my wrist. It’s very smoothly flexible & easy to pack. Relatively light weight. The diameter is good enough for my 70lb Gerberian Shepsky with a small, comfortable amount of stretch (he’s not a relentless puller though, so we’re not the best tester for leash durability & control). The black metal clip looks sleek against the light colored leash & swivels 360° to eliminate leash twisting.Disappointments: In-person, the color is a bit dingy; it’s a very light, dusty, tiffany blue. It’s also more of a cotton-like feel, rather than nylon, so it holds onto oils, moisture, & dirt, & is quicker to absorb stain. It’s such a light color that it won’t hide the least bit of dirt. It’s not easy to clean a leash by hand & I’m afraid to put it in the washing machine for fear that the metal clip will wreck my basin.I won’t use this leash for daily handling, it attracts grime way too easily. It’ll be nice for special occasions (outdoor patio happy hours, photographing, visiting friends & family) when he’s meant to stay clean & look nice.Overall, the value for the price ($12.99) is unbeatable. If you’re looking for a daily handling leash, I would not recommend. If you’re looking for an aesthetic leash, I highly recommend!🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿 🍃🌿 🍃🌿 🍃🌿As an unpaid, independent Vine reviewer, I pride myself on giving informative, unfiltered, zero BS reviews of products I actually needed or wanted upon ordering.
