Give your collar a new lease on life

If your Kinfolk Leather collar has seen a few too many adventures, our Strap Replacement service is the perfect way to keep it going strong. You send us your existing collar, and we’ll rebuild it using the original hardware — refreshed, cleaned, and ready for more tail-wagging miles.

Here’s how it works:
• You send us your dog’s collar with the worn strap still attached
• We carefully remove the buckle, dee ring, and nameplate and give them a clean
• A brand new strap is made to fit, matched to your original collar as closely as possible
• We reassemble it all by hand and send it back your way — ready to wear again

Why choose a replacement strap?
• Reuse your original hardware – it’s better for the planet and your wallet
• Hold onto the look and feel you love, just with a refreshed strap
• Enjoy a collar that feels new again, without losing the character of the original

Because we’re always looking to improve our designs, your new collar strap might include a few small updates or refinements since your last order — but rest assured, it’ll still be unmistakably Kinfolk.

Customisation Options

WIDTH
The width will be determined by the hardware that you have ordered with a dog collar from us in the past. The length will be custom sized to fit your dog. Please make sure to give us an updated neck measurement for the best fit possible.

MATERIAL
If you have ordered a collar from us in the past, you can choose whatever replacement material and colour you like.

DESIGN CHANGES
We make improvements to our designs occasionally so it may be that your new collar is very slightly different to the old one.

Is this suitable for your pet?

If your dog has worn one of our collars in the past...yes!

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. Old collars can stretch or sit differently, so measuring them often gives an inaccurate size - a quick neck measurement using the guide below will give the best fit.

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

3. Enter this measurement in the Neck Circumference field 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.
