Handmade paracord collars for dogs and horses
My name is Jane, and I set up Zig And Zag Handmade when I noticed a distinct lack of suitable collars for my three beautiful rottweilers, Tia, Kruger and Mika, and my two horses (Raven and Bambi). I felt everything looked the same, and so I decided to do something about it.
I came across a product called a paracord collar. Paracord collars originated in Germany, and were practically unheard of here in the UK. I decided to take the plunge, and started selling these fantastic items to pet owners in the UK.
Now specialising in handmade collars for dogs and horses, Zig And Zag Handmade aims to provide a unique range that’s stylish, affordable, and comfortable for pets to wear. Based in The Middles in Stanley and Langley Moor in Durham, I offer UK-wide shipping on any purchase.
The history of paracord
The word 'Paracord' comes from its use by American paratroopers during the Second World War. After a parachute landing, the cord would be cut from the parachute and used for all kinds of applications. Because of its popularity today the cord is available in many variants of varying quality.
Also known as survival cord, paracord has evolved from a military essential to a general-purpose utility cord.
Throughout the years, paracord has been used for some pretty awesome stuff. Few people realise just how important paracord has been in the history of the USA—and the world. The history of paracord begins with the invention of nylon.
