✦ Made specifically for your dog – each collar is crafted in-house to your dog’s exact measurements, giving a true custom fit rather than a “best guess” from standard size ranges.

✦ Optional integrated nameplate that lies flat – hand-stamped and riveted directly to the collar so it sits flush, resists tugging, and won’t swing or catch like dangling tags.

✦ Premium full-grain leather, chosen to age beautifully – the highest grade leather, selected for strength and character, designed to soften and develop a rich patina over time.

Built to last, and supported for the long term – our hardware guarantee reflects our confidence in the quality of every component we use.

✦ Repairable and considered by design – collars can be returned for repairs or strap replacement, extending their life and reducing unnecessary waste.

✦ Handcrafted in New Zealand by a small workshop – not mass-produced, not outsourced, but carefully made from start to finish with quality, comfort, and longevity in mind.

---------

Handmade in NZ from premium full-grain leather, our leather dog collars feature a classic flat-strap design with a sturdy brass buckle and D-ring. The adjustable buckle offers a secure, comfortable fit, and the hardware is built to handle everyday wear.
Pair this dog collar with the matching leather lead here.

Premium Leather – Crafted from full-grain leather, the strongest and most durable cut, chosen for its natural character and long-lasting wear.

Hand-Stamped Nameplate – Add a solid brass or stainless-steel nameplate for clear, quiet identification. Each plate is hand-stamped and fixed with matching solid-brass rivets to keep your dog’s details visible and secure.

Custom Fit – Every edge is rounded, smoothed, and sealed for comfort, with precisely placed buckle holes to ensure a perfect fit.

Solid Hardware – Finished with rust-proof metal hardware, including a strong buckle and D-ring for reliable lead attachment.

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.

Collar Width Guide

Not sure which width to choose? See the Collar Width Guide in the image gallery.

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. 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 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.

Beautiful work

Absolutely Fabulous!! Every year we purchase collars for our AG day at school, it’s super easy to order. 100% recommend

I've bought three dog collars from this brand now, and they've all been of excellent quality. They look great and are built to last your dog’s lifetime! Thank you for creating such beautiful products.

Absolutely thrilled with the product. Great quality and when it arrived I had made a mistake on sizing and the customer service of Kinfolk was right there to find a solution. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you very much.

The Burgundy leather is stunning with Dog buckles and extra D ring. Smart design and colour. Looks great on Dory!

High quality and great craftmanship! Could not be happier, looks fantastic on Betty!

Super smooth transaction. Great feedback at every step. Will use again.

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

After measuring incorrectly, I sent it back for repair and it looks like they sent a completely new one. Great service.

very well made and prompt delivery, very happy

I’ve just got it out and not happy with it . It could have been longer as does up on the very last hole .

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

Fern’s new collar fits her beautifully and is just perfect in every way. A stylish yet practical design. I love the brass on sage green, and robust hardware. She’s a wanderer, and constantly loses her ID tags…so her beautiful leather collar will solve this problem and ensure she is returned safely when she goes AWOL. Thank you so much Kinfolk for such a quality product. PS…she’s an ESP so never photographs well! Always looks a little sad but she’s very happy with her new look! 😊

Good quality collar and fit my dog perfectly

Tui (pictured somewhat puffed from a practice out tracking) seems very happy with her new collar and I think it suits her very well. It's a perfect fit and the width is comfortable for her.

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

Absolutely beautiful collar. Really high quality and looks so beautiful and fits perfectly on my dog. We have went on plenty of muddy walks since getting this collar and still looks good as new! Customer service was amazing also! Thank you Helen for making this beautiful collar for little Cali ❤️

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

This is our third purchase for three different dogs, we absolutely love your collars!

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

We love Diggerty's new collar!! As you can see he looks very smart with the red. Having the name plate attached directly to the collar is brilliant as any tags that dangle get broken or lost very quickly as he's an active dog. Thank you!!

Beautiful dog collar, looks so stylish on our cocker spaniel.

A very nicely made and presented hand made collar, looks great on my mate. I'll be back for more later without hesitation.

Extremely happy with he quality and look of the collar very well made thanks

High quality leather collar

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

Hazel, our 4 year old pug loves her new collar! Great quality and a beautiful colour. We are all extremely happy with it. Online ordering was quick and easy. Highly recommend Kinfolk Leather. (Collar for ID purposes only, she has a harness for walking)

We received our new chestnut leather collar and chestnut/black lead for our cavalier King Charles puppy Henry, last week. We are so happy with the purchase and quality of both. We asked for a longer length lead of 150cm which works really well. Great customer service and will definitely be ordering again from Kinfolk.

I love the personal touch on receiving this collar for Boy and he looks like he is having a great time showing it off in the photos! I will be sure to order any future collars through these guys again without hesitation.

Great quality personalised collar for our dog. I love that we could customise the width and length as the generic ones from the petshop didn't quite suit our pooch. Top notch communitcation on progress of our order. Highly recommend.

Beautiful craftsmanship

I love this collar for my dog. The navy option was perfect and we are both very happy!

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

Thank you. Genuine leather 😊.

It's great. Love it

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

Kinfolks attention to detail is second to none. After missing a few options on Timbers collar and leash purchase i promptly received emails from Helen with better options for my AmStaff, after correcting my order and charges I received a beautiful collar and leash quicker than expected.

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

What a Brilliant Team! My beautiful dog collar turned up in Pink (my dog is a Rottweiler so everyone assumes ‘she’ is a boy). It arrived with a personal letter addressed to myself and my dog and a rub of leather treatment. Service above and beyond what was expected! Awesome!

Customer photo review of Classic Buckle Leather Dog Collar - Custom Sized

Absolutely in love. Quality is amazing and looks so handsome on girlie pop 💅✨

Beautiful quality. Our dog was allergic to his synthetic collar - this one solved the problem.
