Beautiful Leather Breakaway Cat Collars

Sonja Farrell couldn’t find a high-quality and safe leather collar for Percy, her silver-spotted British Shorthair, so she quit her job in 2013 to start London-based Cheshire & Wain. Back in 2013, leather collars with breakaway buckles simply didn't exist, so she had to design one from scratch. It took over six months, multiple iterations, and material testing to finalise the leather safety collar design. Since then, she’s seen her colour-pop leather collars (think candy floss pink, mint green, and lemon sorbet), made with vegetable-tanned Italian leather and fitted with a brass buckle, bell, and discreet breakaway buckle, featured in

Vogue, Elle Decoration, The Telegraph, and Time Out London, to name a few. Options to personalize the collar with a name or add a shark-tooth-shaped semi-precious-stone charm to offer healing vibes to your feline make the collars even more special. And for the curvaceous (aka fat) cat, Cheshire and Wain has collars designed to fit more Rubenesque feline, too. From $45, cheshireandwain.com
