Custom Cat Collars NZ – Handmade for Comfort, Style & Safety

Looking for cat collars in NZ that combine comfort, quality, and a personal touch? Our custom leather cat collars are handcrafted from beautifully soft, vegetable-tanned leather and designed with your cat’s comfort and safety in mind. Whether you're after a sleek, everyday collar or a meaningful gift for your feline friend, this one is made to last.

Why Choose a Kinfolk Leather Custom Cat Collar?

Soft, Lightweight Leather
Made from 100% premium Korba leather, our collars are soft on your cat’s neck and coloured right through for a rich, lasting finish. The underside has a suede-like feel for added comfort — perfect for everyday wear.

Tailored Fit
Each collar is custom-sized to your cat’s measurements, with five adjustment holes spaced 12mm apart. Need extra holes? Just let us know — we’re happy to add them.

Optional Safety Buckle
Choose a breakaway safety buckle for peace of mind. It’s designed to release if your cat gets caught while exploring. (We recommend this option for most cats, but you can opt out if you know your cat tends to remove collars or is especially lightweight.)

Add a Personalised Nameplate
Our hand-stamped nameplates are a quiet, secure way to include your contact details in case your cat gets lost. Made from solid brass or marine-grade stainless steel, they’re deeply stamped and built to last — no jangly tags needed.

Customise the Look
With 11 leather colours and a choice of solid brass (gold) or nickel-plated (silver) hardware, you can create a collar that suits your cat’s style. Add a bell and matching loop for a charming finishing touch.

Whether you’re after a classic leather collar or a one-of-a-kind custom piece, our handcrafted cat collars are made right here in NZ and built with love.

Order today and create a collar that’s as unique as your cat.

Materials

Genuine Leather

Customisation Options

COLOUR
Choose from 11 colours in our range of buttery soft genuine leather (it is between 1.2-1.4mm thick).

LENGTH
Custom fit for your cat, based on his/her neck circumference . There is approx. 5cm (2") of length between the 1st and 5th holes. More holes can be added if requested.

HARDWARE
Your choice of Solid Brass (Gold) or Solid Brass with nickel plating (Silver).

Nameplate (optional): 50 x 9.5mm solid brass or marine-grade stainless steel. 2.5mm hand-stamped numbers/letters on two lines.

SAFETY BUCKLE
You have the option to include a Duraflex breakaway safety buckle (visible as the black clasp in the product images), designed to release with approximately 3 kg of force if your cat becomes tangled. This buckle transforms the collar into a 'breakaway collar,' allowing it to detach and help prevent injury in potentially dangerous situations.

We recommend choosing the safety buckle for added protection. However, please note that determined cats or those playing with other pets may be able to pull the collar off. If you opt not to include the breakaway feature, remember that the leather has little to no stretch, and your cat may not be able to free itself if it gets caught. Please also consider that the breakaway feature may not function for very small or lightweight cats that can't exert the required 3 kg of force.

Use your discretion to decide whether this feature suits your cat's needs.

BELL & LOOP
Choose whether to include a rectangle loop with high-quality jingle bell attached.

Collar Width

 

Not sure what width collar your dog needs? Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the best fit for your dog — whether you’re after a soft puppy collar or something sturdy for a strong puller. We’ve included recommendations for both our leather and BioThane® ranges so you can pick a width that’s comfy, practical, and looks great too.

Leather Dog Collars:

As a general guide, we recommend that if your dog’s neck circumference is:

  • Less than 22cm (8.5”) or a puppy under 3 months old, choose a soft leather puppy collar.
  • 22 - 28cm (8.5 - 11”), choose a 1/2” leather collar.
  • 28 - 34cm (11 - 13”), choose a 3/4” leather collar.
  • 34 - 41cm (13 - 16”), choose a 1” leather collar.
  • 41 - 48cm (15 - 19”), choose a 1 1/4” leather collar.
  • 48cm (19”) and larger, choose a 1 1/2” leather collar.

BioThane Dog Collars:

The BioThane range comes in widths of 1/2”, 3/4”, and 1”. Because Biothane is stronger than leather, these widths are suitable for a wider range of neck sizes. When choosing a width, you can focus more on the look you prefer and the comfort of your dog, as the strength will be adequate regardless of the size.

  • 1/2” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks up to 35cm (14”).
  • 3/4” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks from 28cm (11") - 40cm (16").
  • 1” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks from 35cm (14") and beyond. This width is highly recommended for most medium and large dog breeds.

General Tips:

  • Wider collars are stronger, so please consider this when selecting the width. For example, do not use a 1/2” collar for a medium-sized dog; choose at least a 3/4” collar or larger.
  • For medium-sized breeds and larger dogs, especially those that have a habit of pulling on the lead, we highly recommend choosing one of our D-End Dog Collars. These collars provide an additional layer of leather to pull against when attaching a lead to the dee ring, offering extra strength and durability to handle stronger pulling.

 

How To Measure

 

Getting the size right means a better fit and a more comfortable collar for your dog or cat. Here's how to measure your pet’s neck so we can make their collar just right — plus tips for growing puppies.

How to Measure For A Dog Collar

We strongly suggest providing an accurate measurement when placing your order. If you follow the instructions below, this will allow us to make a collar for your dog that will fit him/her well.

1. Using a soft tape measure, record the circumference of the neck at the point where a collar would naturally lie.

2. Pull the tape so that it is snug but not tight. Record the measurement.

3. Enter this measurement in the personalisation text box when prompted. This measurement will be the middle hole of the collar, we will add at least another two holes either side.

Puppies - If your dog is a puppy, please let us know and we will make an allowance for growth when sizing the holes for the collar. Please feel free to give us a range (up to 12cm, i.e. 24-36cm) so that we can make sure there are enough holes to suit your dog's growth. We can be very flexible with the number of holes provided in the collar.

How to Measure For A Cat Collar

1. Using a soft tape measure, record the circumference of the neck at the point where a collar would naturally lie.

2. Pull the tape so that it is snug but not tight. Record the measurement.

3. Enter this measurement in the personalisation text box when prompted.
