Materials & Craftsmanship

LEATHER
We use premium full-grain leather — the highest grade of real leather, known for its natural markings, strength, and durability.
Selected for its strength and beauty - as the leather ages it will soften and develop a unique, natural patina, whilst remaining extremely strong to withstand harsh and demanding conditions. It is vegetable-tanned and has been dyed all the way through with non-toxic water dyes.

HARDWARE
Premium hardware, cast from solid brass, selected for maximum strength to ensure our products remain rust-free for life. All hardware is kept securely in place with strong solid brass rivets.

Solid brass is a natural metal so our "gold" hardware may arrive with a little tarnish, especially when travelling snugly against leather. This is completely normal and easily polished – a quick wipe brings back the shine. Over time, brass also develops a warm, natural patina that many owners love. If you prefer hardware that stays bright without patina, you may like to choose our silver option instead (nickel-plated brass or stainless steel).

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Our leather dog collars are custom made with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design that prioritises your dog's comfort and safety. Our dog collars stand out for their premium Italian vegetable-tanned leather, known for its ability to soften and age beautifully over time, and sturdy solid brass hardware.

Each dog collar is meticulously handmade, and our nameplates are hand-stamped. Minor tooling marks or inconsistencies in the stamping enhance the unique charm and human element of your custom dog collar.

Customisation Options

WIDTH
Each collar is crafted to fit the dog that will wear it. Please see our Size Guide if you need help choosing a suitable width. The length will depend on the neck circumference of your dog.

COLOUR
We stock our premium Italian veg-tan leather in 11 colours. The leather is 2.8-3mm thick.

HARDWARE
Your choice of either gold (solid brass), silver (nickel-plated solid brass) or matte black (PVD solid brass) hardware.

NAMEPLATE
If you would like a nameplate added, your dog's details will be hand-stamped and clearly seen on the solid brass or stainless steel nameplate. The standard placement of the nameplate is directly opposite the buckle hardware, visible on the top of your dog's neck. However, if you would like a different placement just let us know - we can attach it wherever you like.

Nameplate Dimensions:
Small (for 1/2" wide collars) - 50 x 9.5mm - up to 2 lines of information in 2.5mm text
Large (for 3/4"+ wide collars) - 70 x 16mm - up to 3 lines of information in 3mm text

Is this suitable for your pet?

If your dog has a history of being extremely tough on collars, such as excessive pulling behaviour, we recommend using a specialty collar when attached to a leash or tie-out and keeping this leather dog collar for 'good'. While our collars are extremely sturdy, and will withstand forceful tugging, there are determined dogs out there for which any collar is no match.

Strap Replacement Service

All of our collars and leads are handmade in our own workshop, which means we can repair, resize, or refresh them at any time. When you’re ready for a new look, we can replace the strap and reuse your existing hardware - giving your custom piece a new lease on life.

How To Measure Neck Size

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

Dog Collar Measurement Guide - Kinfolk Leather Custom Dog Collars NZ

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.
