A beautifully soft leather collar, custom made for your cat’s comfort, safety and everyday wear.

Handcrafted from lightweight full-grain leather, each collar is made to your cat’s measurements for a comfortable, secure fit. Choose from a range of leather colours and gold or silver hardware, with the option to add a breakaway safety buckle, bell and personalised hand-stamped nameplate.

The slim nameplate sits neatly against the collar, giving you space for your cat’s name and contact details without a traditional dangling ID tag.

Handmade to order in our New Zealand workshop.

Materials & Craftsmanship

LEATHER

Made from soft, lightweight full-grain leather, approximately 1.2-1.4mm thick. The leather is coloured through for a rich, lasting finish, with a soft suede-like underside for comfort against your cat’s neck.

HARDWARE

Choose from solid brass (gold) or nickel-plated brass (silver) hardware.

Solid brass naturally develops a warm patina over time and may occasionally arrive with a little surface tarnish from travelling against the leather. This is normal and can be easily polished away. Silver hardware is a good choice if you prefer a brighter finish with less visible patina.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Each collar is individually handmade to order in our New Zealand workshop, and personalised nameplates are stamped by hand.

As leather is a natural material, slight variations in colour, grain and thickness are normal. Small variations in hand-stamping and finishing are also part of the character of a handmade piece.

CARE

Leather is a natural material and is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water and allow the collar to dry naturally if it becomes wet. For more detailed care instructions, see our Leather Care guide.

Customisation Options

COLOUR

Choose from our range of soft leather colours.

SIZE

Each collar is custom made to your cat’s neck measurement, with five adjustment holes spaced approximately 10mm apart for around 4cm of adjustment. Additional holes can be added on request.

HARDWARE

Choose solid brass (gold) or nickel-plated brass (silver) hardware.

NAMEPLATE - OPTIONAL

Add a hand-stamped 50 x 9.5mm nameplate in solid brass or stainless steel, matched to your chosen hardware colour. The nameplate can accommodate up to two lines of 2.5mm hand-stamped text.

BREAKAWAY SAFETY BUCKLE - OPTIONAL

Add a Duraflex breakaway safety buckle, designed to release at approximately 3kg of force if your cat becomes caught or tangled.

We recommend the breakaway option for most cats, particularly those that spend time outdoors. Because it is designed to release under pressure, active cats may occasionally pull the collar off during climbing or rough play.

Please note that very small or lightweight cats may not be able to exert enough force to release the buckle. If you choose the fixed buckle instead, the leather itself has little to no stretch and will not release if the collar becomes caught.

BELL & LOOP - OPTIONAL

Add a removable jingle bell attached to a matching metal loop.

Is this suitable for your pet?

Designed specifically for cats, this collar is a good choice for both indoor and outdoor cats when you want a lightweight, comfortable leather collar with the option of a personalised nameplate.

Choose the breakaway safety buckle for a collar designed to release under pressure, or the fixed buckle if your cat frequently loses breakaway collars. Please see the Customisation Options above for important safety information about both buckle styles.

For kittens, allow for growth and check the fit regularly.

For small dogs, please choose one of our Puppy Collars instead.

How To Measure

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

Cat size guide for collar measurement with Kinfolk Leather branding

    1. Using a soft tape measure, record the circumference of your cat’s neck at the point where a collar would naturally sit. If you don’t have a tape measure, you can use a piece of string, ribbon, or strip of paper, then lay it flat against a ruler to measure the length.

    2. Pull the tape or string so that it is snug but not tight - close enough that the collar will sit securely without slipping over the head, while still remaining comfortable for your cat. Record the measurement.

    3. Enter this measurement in the Neck Circumference field when prompted.

    Kittens - If your cat is still growing, please let us know and we will make an allowance for growth when sizing the holes for the collar.

    I have spoken with them and I have to say, the customer service is excellent. I had a few problems with mine and was imediately offered to make it right. Any product can have a few dificulties, especially something hand made but the willingness to make sure youre happy makes me feel you could buy with confidence.

    Customer photo review of Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized

    Absolutely love this collar!! I ordered 3, for each of my cats, and they all fit perfectly. Each feel wonderful, and they're not super stiff (like some leather collars can be); the colours are beautiful and vibrant too! The option with no bell is nice and quiet, no jingles, so cats who get overstimulated by bells or clanks have no issues. Even my old calico, who usually hates collars due to that, hasn't been bothered by this one. I love the fact that, due to the safety clasp, my cats can now have cute and durable collars without me fearing for their wellbeing (as other leather cat collars only have buckles). Sadly, only my big boy would sit still to pose- but it shows that these collars fit even a Maine Coon comfortably!

    Beautiful products with lovely craftsmanship, but a few improvements are needed. Unfortunately, both of our cats lost their collars within two weeks. The strap could be slightly longer, as it doesn't reach far enough into the loop to stay secure and kept slipping out. Also, the leather on the purple collar feels thinner compared to the brown one, which may affect its durability. I hope future versions address these issues, especially given the price—unfortunately, it didn’t last with us as long as expected.

    Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Elisa. I’m really glad you appreciated the craftsmanship, and I’m sorry the collars didn’t hold up as expected. The safety buckles are designed to release under pressure to keep cats safe if they get caught – which can unfortunately mean the collar is lost. I’ll be updating the product description to make this clearer for future customers. Leather is a natural material, so slight thickness variations can occur between colours, but I always select hides with comfort and durability in mind. I really value your feedback and will also be in touch via email to see if there’s something I can do to help make things right.

    Customer photo review of Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized

    The collar is almost exactly as I had expected, perhaps the leather is a little thinner than hoped but as a cat collar, it is supple and smooth. It fits perfectly and stands out nicely. Not having to have a separate disc hanging down is very nice. Kinfolk Leather has been easy to deal with and the quality of their product is excellent. I will definitely buy from them again.

    Store owner replied: Thank you so much, Victoria! I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. I’m glad to hear the collar fits perfectly and that you’re enjoying the clean look of the stamped nameplate – it’s one of my favourite features too. Thanks again for your kind words and support, and I’d be delighted to make something for you again in the future!

    Love the quality! my little kitty is very prone to losing his collars with safety clips so was essential that I ordered one he couldn’t get off, so I very much appreciate the customisable option for the clasp, which has more than paid off already. Also love the addition of adding a little name plate for our people loving Louie, who can now let everyone know his name. Highly recommended

    Love this, light weight and doesn’t irritate my kitten + it looks so good on her too!

    Store owner replied: Thank you for the lovely review, we're so glad you like the collar!

    A soft supple leather collar. I love the colour and am really happy with the product. I would have liked a bit more information about when I could expect the collar to arrive but shipping was very fast once the collar was completed.

    Milo loves his collar. He wasn’t a fan of anything dangling off it. I’m just amazed by the quality. This is well worth every penny and more. Our fur babies deserve it!

    Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized

    Well made collar for my cat, lovely soft leather. Hopefully she doesn't do a Houdini and lose it like she has all her other collars of various designs and brands!

    Customer photo review of Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized

    Bought two, one for each cat, but in different colours and finishes to match their colouring (if I can take a photo of the other day, and his thick fur, I'll post a second review). Beautifully made and finished, and so comfortable that neither cat has tried to remove them. Recommended. This is Akuma with his tan leather collar with brass plate.

    Our handsome boy Lenny. We have had a few of these collars, and love them for their quality and aesthetic. The safety clasp is good piece of mind for those allowed outside, and living in an area full of birds we need the bell.

    Customer photo review of Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized

    Gorgeous, soft leather collars. Got 2 of the same, one for each cat. The older one has learned to take hers off rather efficiently as I measured it a bit too loosely, it needs another hole which I will organise in due time . The younger cat wears hers like a champ and looks like a very respectable young lady indeed

    Mabel loves her new collar, very nice quality leather and beautiful bell that alerts us and the birds to her whereabouts. I really like the fact the collar is adjustable, but also has a quick realise for her safety. I just hope she doesn’t lose it!
