Luxe Traditional Dog Collar Design in Vibrant Colours

Introducing our "Luxe Traditional" custom dog collar made from Waterproof BioThane®. This sophisticated collar features a classic flat strap design with sleek solid brass hardware, available in three stunning finishes: gold, silver, and black. Perfect for everyday wear and special occasions, this collar blends elegance with practicality.

Custom Fit and Premium Style: Crafted for a perfect fit, our Luxe Traditional collar combines minimalist design with luxurious details. The polished buckle and eyelets add a refined touch, ensuring your dog looks stylish and feels comfortable.

BioThane® Strapping: Handmade using BioThane® strapping—a waterproof, odour-resistant, and easy-to-clean alternative to leather. This vegan leather ensures durability in any weather, making it ideal for outdoor adventures and daily use.

Silent Nameplate Option: Enhance the collar's elegance with our optional hand-stamped nameplate in solid brass or stainless steel, securely attached with rivets. This 'silent' alternative to traditional dog tags provides essential identification while maintaining a sleek look.

Premium Hardware: Choose from gold (solid brass), silver (nickel-plated solid brass), or black (PVD-coated solid brass) finishes. The PVD coating on our black hardware offers a highly durable, long-lasting, and scratch-resistant surface, elevating the collar's overall appeal.

Lasting Investment: Selecting a Kinfolk Leather custom dog collar means investing in a timeless piece that reflects your dog's unique personality. Our collars are built to endure and look great for years. When you’re ready for a fresh look, we can reuse the high-quality hardware to create a new strap, ensuring your dog’s collar remains as sustainable as it is stylish. Kinfolk Leather collars are more than just accessories—they're a smart and lasting investment for your loyal companion.

BIOTHANE®

BioThane® is a brand name for a type of coated webbing that is made by bonding a PVC or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) coating to a polyester or nylon webbing. This creates a strong, durable, and waterproof material that is easy to clean, lightweight yet resistant to chewing and scratching.

HARDWARE

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

NAMEPLATE

An optional solid brass or stainless steel nameplate can be securely attached to the collar with matching solid brass rivets. Your emergency contact details will be clearly visible, ensuring your dog can be quickly identified if they wander off.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

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.

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 BioThane 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.

Collar Width

Leather Dog Collars:

As a general guide, we recommend that if your dog’s neck circumference is:

  • Less than 22cm (8.5”) or a puppy under 3 months old, choose a soft leather puppy collar.
  • 22 - 28cm (8.5 - 11”), choose a 1/2” leather collar.
  • 28 - 34cm (11 - 13”), choose a 3/4” leather collar.
  • 34 - 41cm (13 - 16”), choose a 1” leather collar.
  • 41 - 48cm (15 - 19”), choose a 1 1/4” leather collar.
  • 48cm (19”) and larger, choose a 1 1/2” leather collar.

BioThane Dog Collars:

The BioThane range comes in widths of 1/2”, 3/4”, and 1”. Because Biothane is stronger than leather, these widths are suitable for a wider range of neck sizes. When choosing a width, you can focus more on the look you prefer and the comfort of your dog, as the strength will be adequate regardless of the size.

  • 1/2” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks up to 35cm (14”).
  • 3/4” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks from 28cm (11") - 40cm (16").
  • 1” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks from 35cm (14") and beyond. This width is highly recommended for most medium and large dog breeds.

General Tips:

  • Wider collars are stronger, so please consider this when selecting the width. For example, do not use a 1/2” collar for a medium-sized dog; choose at least a 3/4” collar or larger.
  • For medium-sized breeds and larger dogs, especially those that have a habit of pulling on the lead, we highly recommend choosing one of our D-End Dog Collars. These collars provide an additional layer of leather to pull against when attaching a lead to the dee ring, offering extra strength and durability to handle stronger pulling.

 

How To Measure

How to Measure For A Dog Collar

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.

How to Measure For A Cat Collar

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.
