Artisan Harness Exceptional materials. Considered construction. Made with intention. The Artisan Harness represents a more elevated approach to everyday dog wear. Crafted with genuine cowhide suede, leather, breathable air mesh, and carefully selected hardware, it is designed around comfort, balance, and material quality. Every component serves a purpose, while the natural materials develop a richer, more individual character with time.

Recommended For Dogs Who Wear a Harness Daily: Soft, broad contact areas and breathable lining are designed to provide lasting comfort without unnecessary bulk. Dogs Needing a More Precise Fit: Independent neck and chest adjustment allows the harness to follow individual proportions rather than relying on a fixed body shape. Comfort-Sensitive Dogs: Firm structural webbing is kept away from key body-contact areas, while softly finished edges create a gentler feel around the neck and chest. Those Who Value Natural Materials: Genuine cowhide suede and leather offer a depth of texture and character that develops beautifully through wear. Key Features Adjustable H-Type Construction: The neck and chest sections work independently, allowing the harness to sit securely while following the dog’s natural movement. Full-Contact Comfort: The surfaces that wrap around the body are intentionally made wider and softer, helping distribute contact more comfortably. Breathable Inner Structure: Air mesh is incorporated throughout the body-facing interior to improve ventilation and reduce trapped warmth and moisture. Protected Metal Buckle: A dedicated guard sits between the buckle and the body, helping prevent direct metal contact with the coat or skin. Purposeful Construction: Strap angles, connection points, hardware placement, and material transitions are designed together so the harness sits as one balanced structure rather than a collection of separate parts. Materials & Craftsmanship Natural Cowhide Suede: Chosen for its exceptionally soft hand feel and rich, velvety texture. Because it is a natural material, each piece carries subtle variations that make it distinctly its own. Genuine Leather: Used alongside the suede for a more refined finish and selected for the way it naturally develops character rather than simply wearing out. Structural Webbing: Durable woven reinforcement provides strength and stability beneath the softer exterior materials, helping the harness maintain its structure through everyday use. Breathable Air Mesh: Soft, lightweight mesh lines the body-facing surfaces, providing ventilation while creating a comfortable barrier between the structural elements and your dog. Selected Metal Hardware: Hardware is chosen not only for durability, but also for proportion, weight, and finish so that every component feels balanced within the design. Designed to Become Your Own The Artisan Harness is intentionally made from materials that respond to use. The suede may become softer in certain areas, its nap may shift, and the leather may gradually develop greater depth and character. These subtle changes are part of what makes natural materials special. Rather than expecting every harness to remain perfectly identical, Artisan is designed to become increasingly individual to the dog who wears it. Materials Natural Cowhide Suede · Genuine Leather · PVC · Air Mesh · Webbing · Metal Hardware Care For best results, place the harness in a laundry bag and wash separately at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry. Natural suede is sensitive to moisture. Contact with water may cause changes in color, texture, or some color transfer, particularly when wet. We recommend avoiding rain, swimming, and other water activities while wearing the harness. If wet, gently remove excess moisture without rubbing and allow the harness to dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Natural Material Characteristics Color & Texture Natural suede can vary slightly from piece to piece. Changes in the direction of the nap, shading, or surface texture are part of the material rather than manufacturing imperfections. Signs of Wear Areas exposed to regular movement or pressure may gradually show polishing, softening, or subtle friction marks. This natural evolution is expected and contributes to the individual finish of each harness. Small-Batch Artisan Production Artisan is one of HOZI’s most craftsmanship-intensive pieces. The combination of natural materials, layered construction, detailed finishing, and precise assembly requires considerably more production time than our standard harnesses. For this reason, Artisan is produced in limited quantities rather than at mass-production scale. When an available batch sells out, the next release may require additional time while new pieces are carefully produced and finished.
