A lightweight, waterproof collar made just for your cat
Handcrafted in New Zealand from genuine 12 mm BioThane®, this cat collar is slim, lightweight and easy to clean. Each collar is custom made to your cat's neck measurement, with your choice of colour and hardware finish.
BioThane® is waterproof, durable and easy to care for, making it a practical alternative to leather.
Make it personal
Add an optional hand-stamped nameplate featuring your cat's name and contact number. Each metal nameplate is individually stamped by hand and securely riveted directly onto the collar, providing identification without the need for a separate dangling ID tag.
Choose your finishing touches
- Custom sizing - made to your cat's neck measurement for a comfortable fit.
- Waterproof BioThane® - slim, lightweight 12 mm material that's easy to wipe clean.
- Hardware options - choose from gold or silver hardware.
- Optional nameplate - personalised with up to two lines of hand-stamped text.
- Removable bell - a small, matching jingle bell is included and can be easily removed if preferred.
- Optional D-ring - add a dedicated attachment point for a lead.
Sizing
Measure your cat's neck snugly but not tightly. Each collar is made so your supplied measurement sits at the middle adjustment hole, allowing room to adjust the fit in either direction.
Important information
This collar features a secure, non-breakaway buckle and is designed for indoor cats and supervised outdoor use. It is not recommended for cats roaming outdoors unsupervised.
An optional D-ring is available for lead attachment. For cats that pull or are prone to sudden movements, a properly fitted cat harness may be a more suitable choice.
Handmade to order
Every collar is individually handcrafted in New Zealand using quality materials and carefully selected hardware, with attention to comfort, fit and durability.

Is this suitable for your cat?
Designed specifically for cats, this lightweight, waterproof BioThane® collar is a practical choice for indoor cats and supervised outdoor use, with the option of a personalised nameplate.
The collar features a secure, non-breakaway buckle that stays fastened under pressure. Unlike a breakaway safety buckle, it will not automatically release if the collar becomes caught, so it is not recommended for cats roaming outdoors unsupervised.
An optional D-ring is available for lead attachment, depending on your cat's temperament and how you intend to use the collar.
For kittens, allow for growth and check the fit regularly.
For small dogs, please choose one of our Puppy Collars instead.
How To Measure
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.

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.
Care Guide
Care Guide
CARE GUIDE
Cleaning - Wipe with a damp cloth or wash with warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
BioThane® - Waterproof and easy to maintain. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, solvents or excessive heat.
Brass Hardware - Natural brass develops a patina over time. To maintain its shine, gently polish with a suitable brass cleaner, avoiding contact with the BioThane®.
Silver Hardware - Nickel-plated brass is more resistant to tarnishing. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.
Nameplate - Wipe clean with a soft cloth. Brass nameplates may develop a natural patina, while stainless steel requires minimal maintenance.
Regular Checks - Check the buckle, rivets and any attachments regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure the collar remains correctly fitted.

Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized
Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback, Matt. I'm sorry the collar didn't fully meet your expectations, but I appreciate you taking the time to get in touch and discuss your concerns with me. Thank you also for your kind words about the customer service. As a small handmade business, I genuinely want every customer to be happy with their purchase, and I always welcome the opportunity to make things right if something isn't as expected. Kind regards, Helen
Beautifully crafted cat collar which turned up exactly as described and on time, I would highly recommend this product.

The green (peacock) colour is awesome. The workman ship is spot on and Luca is wearing it now, hopefully he doesnt lose this colar. Thanks Kinfolk Leather team. Its better buying and supporting small business where you can.
Charles A. 5/5 Verified
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!

so beautiful! my cat is quite the dashing feline in her lovely custom leather collar. thank you :)
Mary M. 5/5 Verified
Very happy with them. Both are probably a bit long due to my measurements so maybe take 1-2 cm off what you think you'll need 🙂
Lee B. 5/5 Verified
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.
Elisa C. 3/5 Verified
Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized
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.
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.

Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized
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!
This is my kitty’s first collar and he loves it and it looks great on him thank you so much I love it!!
Debra B. 5/5 Verified
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

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!
Milo K. 5/5 Verified
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!
Alexandra W. 5/5 Verified
Super soft leather that is gentle on my Sphynx’s skin but strong enough to resist scratches etc. The buckle is very cute, it looks so fancy!
Helena F. 5/5 Verified
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.
Arran H. 5/5
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.
Kyra I. 5/5 Verified
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
Kess A. 5/5 Verified
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!
