Jala Dog Leash 1.4 m | Black | Lignify® Vegan Leather | PETA Approved

A leash is handled for the full duration of every walk — it is the most consistently contacted piece of walking equipment an owner uses. The material it is made from matters in a way that collar and harness materials do not, because it is in the hand, not on the dog, for the entire outing. Most leashes are nylon, chain, or genuine leather. The Jala Black Leash is none of these.

The CAFIDE Jala Black Leash is made from Lignify® vegan leather — a certified biobased material produced from lignin, the structural compound extracted from wood during paper manufacturing. The paper industry generates over 100 million tonnes of lignin waste annually; Lignify® converts that waste stream into a durable, leather-like material without petroleum-based polymers or animal products. It holds its surface finish through weather exposure, feels substantial and leather-like in the hand, and carries a complete, independently audited certification stack: USDA Certified Biobased Product, OEKO-TEX®, and PETA Approved Vegan.

At 145 cm total length, the leash provides practical working distance for everyday urban walking — long enough for comfortable loose-lead walking, short enough to maintain control in busy environments. The zamak clasp — a zinc, aluminium, magnesium, and copper alloy that exceeds the tensile strength of steel — clips and unclips reliably without bending or degrading under daily load. The black colourway is the most versatile in the Jala range and pairs directly with the Jala Black Dog Collar for a matched walking set.

Why We Selected It

The Jala leash carries the same material case as the Jala collar and poop bag carrier — Lignify® is a certified, independently audited biobased material with traceable provenance, not a marketing claim. For owners who have invested in the Jala collar, this leash is the natural completion of that purchase. For owners discovering the CAFIDE Jala range through the leash, the full walking set — collar, leash, and poop bag carrier — is available in the same black colourway at SPLOOT. The 145 cm length and zamak hardware are practical specifications suited to everyday urban walking with breeds of all sizes.

Suitable For

Dogs of all breeds and sizes. The 145 cm leash length is suited to everyday urban walking, loose-lead training, and café and social settings where a standard-length lead is appropriate. Not designed for traction sports or high-load working dog applications.
