Les Colliers Du Nord
Made from bicycle inner tubes destined for the bin, the production of 100 collars allows approximately 880 grams of material to be recycled, which is always better than nothing.
The advantages?
- Black and therefore more discreet, especially on sighted poles
- The inner tube does not dry like traditional elastic bands
After a test season, with around 150 Belgian collars, they can arrive on your sets.
The principle is simple, for the moment only 1 all-terrain model for 50mm tube with 1 year warranty.
If any of the necklaces break after 1 year, because yes they are sturdy but not indestructible, you return the broken necklaces with the wooden rod and I will send you the same number of “new” necklaces.

Without inner tubes there are no Belgian necklaces, so it seems important to me to introduce you to the people who support me in my endeavor.
