Designer Dog Collars: The Ultimate Luxury Guide

When it comes to pampering our pooches, we’re the first in line.

One of the best ways to make your pup look their best is to buy them a designer dog collar. These bad boys allow you to reflect your own personal style onto your dog, while also ensuring that they look fabulous at every opportunity.

We’ve compiled the best luxury dog collars on the market right now and divided them into categories so you can find exactly what you’re looking for.

Whether it’s a seriously high end purchase or something a little more cutesy, we guarantee that we’ve got what you’re looking for.

What to Look for in a Designer Dog Collar

Just like in the human world, quality isn’t necessarily guaranteed by a designer name (although a bit of luxury name dropping never hurt any dog!).

We define luxury dog collars by the quality of the manufacturing process and the materials used.

That usually means something that is hand crafted and hand cut in the USA, using natural materials and avoiding the synthetic. When it comes to luxury leather dog collars, that obviously means that they’re made of genuine leather.

If you’re interested in the manufacturing of designer dog collars, check out this video from New Zealand firm, Momo and Beau Ltd:

Durability also comes into play here too. We’re not interested in collars that look great on day 1 but have cracked into pieces by day 7. We want durable backing, double hand stitching and plating on any metal components.

Comfort is also important. Some cheap collars are known to feel scratchy against your dog’s neck, causing them skin irritation and even lesions in serious cases. Always opt for designer dog collars with a soft leather texture or padded backing to ramp up the comfort level.

Obviously, the major feature that defines a designer dog collar is that it looks gorgeous.

What that is, is up to you. Do you prefer something strong and simple? Cute and flowery? Glitzy and bejewelled? Have a look at the products on offer and see if there’s anything calling your name.

We happen to love collars that come with an engravable charm. It’s a great way to add your pup’s name and your number somewhere that’s both subtle and obvious if they should ever escape outside. Ideal!

A note for our UK readers — check out the luxury dog collars at Chelsea Dogs if you want something fancy for your British bred pooch!

A Note on Price

Before you dive into your designer dog collar shopping, you should be aware that with quality comes a higher than normal price tag. Just like with anything!

We’ve included products from a range of price points here — from under $20 to over $500 — so you’ll be able to find something that suits you.

Collars with jewels or recognizable designer names usually command the higher prices while more high street and homemade brands can be found in the cheaper section.

Genuine leather and collars made of particularly quality and durable materials are also naturally higher priced too. You get what you pay for!
