Our custom cat collars are handcrafted from beautifully soft leather and designed with your cat’s comfort and safety in mind.

Soft, Lightweight Leather
Made from premium full-grain leather, our cat 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.

Tailored Fit
Each collar is custom-sized to your cat’s measurements, with five adjustment holes spaced 10mm apart. Need extra holes? Just let us know — we’re happy to add them.

Optional Safety Buckle
The breakaway safety buckle is designed to pop open if your cat gets caught on something like a branch or fence — helping to prevent injury. It adds an extra layer of safety for adventurous cats, and we recommend it for most.

Please note: because it’s made to release under pressure, it can come off more easily during climbing or rough play. If your cat has a habit of losing collars or tends to wriggle out of them, you might prefer the fixed (non-breakaway) option instead.

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 many 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 cat collar or a one-of-a-kind custom piece, our handcrafted cat collars are made right here in NZ and built with love.

Materials & Craftsmanship

LEATHER
Made from premium, full-grain buffalo calf 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.

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 cat collars are custom made with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design that prioritises your cat's comfort and safety.

Each cat 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 cat collar.

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 (removable).

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 personalisation text box 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!

    The most beautiful collar! Incredibly well crafted and Helen the owner is very helpful and hands on! Buttery soft leather and excellent quality brass.

    Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized

    Store owner replied: Thanks for your lovely review Grace, I am so glad we were able to find a solution for your cat. Best, Helen

    i bought 2 together, one came just fine but the bell on this one came off pretty quickly, and the leather strap that holds the loose end down wasnt doing its job very well. was able to fix both these issues pretty easily, but was still a little annoying, either way very pretty collars

    Leather Cat Collar with Nameplate - Custom Sized

    Store owner replied: Hi Trinity, thanks for your feedback. I am sorry to hear the bell has come off, would you like me to send a replacement? If the strap keeper is still a bit loose please let me know as I would be happy to replace it. Best, Helen.
