Eighties Sugar Sustainable Dog Collar | barklin

EIGHTIES SUGAR — Nostalgia Built from Transparency

Eighties Sugar channels mall-culture optimism and arcade joy through sustainable craft. Pastel confetti sprinkles—light pink, pale yellow, sky blue, and white—scatter across deep black webbing in playful disorder. The design celebrates 80s excess without irony, turning nostalgia into wearable color energy.

Material Origin:
ECONYL® nylon from Aquafil begins as fishing nets recovered from the Mediterranean. Regeneration transforms them into high-performance yarn using 90% less energy than virgin nylon. REPREVE® recycled polyester from bottles adds the tactile sprinkle texture, creating a layered surface feel.

European Craft:
Woven in Germany to achieve intentionally irregular distribution that feels spontaneous yet controlled. Assembled by Ágó in Mosonmagyaróvár under spotless workshop conditions—pastel shades reveal every detail. Seventeen precise operations complete each collar. Due Emme ECONABLE® hardware uses thread colors tuned to the dominant sprinkles for visual cohesion.

Design & Use:
Made for dogs whose personalities lean playful rather than intense—joyful companions that brighten every walk. Pairs with Pixel Grid for structured candy contrast or with Glitch for chaotic sweetness.

Impact:
88.6% recycled materials. 1.2 liters of oil saved per collar. Joy, regenerated.

Conscious design starts with materials. Our collars use high-recycled fabrics and certified safe components, lowering emissions and supporting a more sustainable future for dogs and their people.
