GAIA - N. Earth, the personification of.
Greek mythological: Mother of all life.
The GAIA collection by Para Meraki are macrame collars, handwoven with natural fibers. 100% recycled cotton. Oeko Tex Certified, safe for our beloved companions and the environment.
Natural fibers are quirky by disposition. Each collar will have variations and unique qualities that lend to its charm. However, the last thing I want is for anyone to be surprised or disappointed due to misleading expectations. That is why I have included an example photo of the reverse side. The finish work is “messy”. The string ends will fray but not to worry, they are tacked securely with wax coated linen thread. If you have any questions before purchasing please don’t hesitate to reach out.
These collars are fixed length. We do not have an adjustable option at this time.
GAIA collars are available in sizes up to 18”. To purchase these weave styles in a larger size please see our paracord option.
Hardware::: Cobra buckle - available in black, tan, or silver.
Color choices:::
Colors do not have to be finalized before placing your order. I will contact you, or you may contact me, to discuss cord colors after your order has been placed. You are welcome to peruse our color guide here.
Measuring:::
• IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU MEASURE ACCURATELY •
We do not offer returns or exchanges on custom collars. Please see our measuring guide here. Collar measurements should be given in inches.
This is the physical neck measurement plus room for two-finger spacing. Do not measure from another collar laid flat.
Available in two width options and four weave styles:::
• North - building blocks. Think of North as a “choose your own adventure”. This weave can be made with any amount of colors desired. The pattern can be designed with any variety of geometric shapes imaginable. Choose from our design elements (i.e. mountains / stripes) or purchase a Color Consultation to work with me on a custom design.

so beautifully personal and unique, I came to Janée with an idea and she executed it perfectly. the comforting textile weave is really soft, yet sturdy — I’ve used mine both at home and at agility practice. worth every penny for the quality craftsmanship.
Cannot believe how beautiful our collar turned out. Janée is so great to work with, she can create almost anything you can think of. I love how the process with her collars is so collaborative and easy. This collar is literally a piece of art!
I have two North collars in a custom pattern and am absolutely in love with both! The fact that they are handmade adds so much character and life - these are truly bespoke, one-of-a-kind pieces of art for my dogs.
Though they aren’t designed for super rough use, my dogs wrestle with each other pretty hard (grabbing the collars, and throwing each other around) and the collars have held up beautifully!
I’m saving up to order more as soon as possible. Cannot recommend these enough!
Thank you so much for sharing! It's wonderful to hear that the weave and material can withstand playtime!
