Finally, luxe that lasts for the solid unit in your life. Each of the brass components on our collar spends 10+ hours in production and finishing to achieve its hand-feel and colour-locked patina. Hand-made in small batches here in New Zealand and paired with marine-grade webbing in our exclusive stripes, this collar is guaranteed to look sharp for at least five years.

A subtle nod to vintage watch straps, this timeless stripe feels tailored and understated — the subwoofer muse, Monkey’s winter favourite. Complements black, brown, and red-toned coats.

    FEATURES

    Soft but super durable webbing -
    This fast-drying, fade-free poly propylene webbing is woven exclusively for Subwoofer in our signature stripes. Marine-grade and resistant to mould, odour, and daily wear.

    Specialist anti-tarnish brass finish - The hardware is finished with a specialist anti-tarnish treatment that penetrates the brass. It makes the metal stronger and harder, helps prevent staining on light coats, and keeps the hardware looking close to new with barely any upkeep. A finish this rare in dog gear doesn’t just last — it sets our collars apart.

    Jam-free slip-clasp closure - A unique, fail-safe mechanism that’s easy to use and designed to prevent finger pinching or fur pulling.

    Silent, safe ID tag - integrated, customisable ID tag won’t catch on furniture, clothing or other collars. Our quiet ID tag is perfect for dogs or owners who enjoy life on the quiet side. 

    Flat and fatter D-ring - for easier, fumble-free lead clipping.

    Quadruple-stitched for strength -
    Saddle-strong polyester thread — the kind used in boots, cars, and collars built for life — stitched four times over to reinforce high-stress points and hold strong.

    Presentation matters - Premium packaging with textured brown stock and matte black interior — more timepiece boxing than dog collar. Ready for gifting, even if it's to yourself.

    Streamlined not bulky - No extra bulk, no strap tails — a flush fit that matters more when you’re little.

    100% NZ designed and made - An original Subwoofer design, registered in NZ and Australia, and proudly made in New Zealand under Licence 807556.

    Covers defects in materials or workmanship for 5 years from purchase
    Just send the collar back with your name and order date — no need to register
    If it fails under regular use, we’ll repair or replace it free of charge

    PRESENTATION MATTERS

    Textured brown stock, matte black interior — more timepiece than dog collar presentation. For the design-savvy dog lover, the hard-to-buy-for aesthete, or yourself (we won’t tell). Perfect for that one person who has everything — and adores their dog more than most people. Not your average unboxing moment. They’ll think you’re a genius. And yes — you’ll be very, very popular.

    SAFETY

    Our collars are designed for quick, easy removal — which we recommend when dogs are indoors, crated, unsupervised, or wrestling with friends.
    While the silent tag removes one hazard, collars can still catch on things you’d never expect: a roller blind chain, a floorboard nail, even another dog’s tooth. If they can’t free themselves, it can become dangerous fast. Always keep an eye on your dog — and when in doubt, take it off.

    EXCLUSIVE WEBBING. BUILT TO LAST.

    Woven just for us using marine-grade Spanish polypropylene yarn — the same used on yachts. It doesn’t absorb water like nylon, so it dries faster, resists mildew, and won’t trap smells. Lighter, softer, and built for harsh conditions. A quick wash, and it’s back to new.

    SOLID BRASS. ZERO MAINTENANCE.

    Our hardware is solid brass—cut, stamped, and polished here in New Zealand using our own registered design. Each piece spends over ten hours being de-burred and polished until perfectly smooth and soft to the touch—preparing it for the final proprietary sealing finish, more commonly used in premium tapware. This step hardens the brass, locks in its colour, protects light fur from marks, and keeps every collar looking freshly polished without constant upkeep.

    ENGRAVE TO ENDURE

    Most ID tags are laser-etched on thin aluminium — shallow marks that fade with time. But your dog’s name deserves better.

    Ours are cut from solid 2mm brass and engraved by hand, by a master engraver whose skill has been honed over a lifetime. The result is permanent: deeply carved, unmistakable, and made to last — and be kept.

    5-YEAR GUARANTEE

    Every collar comes with a 5-year guarantee against fading, fraying or failing — though frankly, we expect it to last much longer.

    Built to endure years of daily wear, it’s designed to get better with age - like your best friend. steady, stylish and always up for an outing.

    Gorgeous colours and workmanship, totally worth the investment. Odin is loving the attention.
    Thanks so much. "

    THE STORY BEHIND OUR COLLAR

    Subwoofer began with Monkey — a tiny black-and-tan bandito who stole my heart mid-pandemic. Like most dog people, I wanted only the best for her. But no collar quite got it right. One was stylish but seized at the beach. Another was beautiful but fiddly. One was practical — but lacked personality.

    So I designed my own — blending what worked, leaving what didn’t, and elevating the rest. Crafted with precision, inspired by vintage timepieces, and finished with restraint, the result is a collar that rethinks the ordinary. While most stick to the same old buckle-and-prong or plastic click-and-squeeze, this is a considered departure — a design that feels as good as it looks. A talking piece, not a compromise. Exceptional by design, not by accident.

    Every detail was reconsidered from the dog’s point of view: no rough seams, no thick folds, nothing to rub the wrong way. The clasp is secure but quick to release — ideal for dogs like Monkey, who don’t wear collars indoors. On and off is effortless. The webbing is strong but smooth. Every material was tested for comfort, durability, and all-day wear. Each one is made here in New Zealand, in small batches, with materials and craftsmanship we’re proud of — and Monkey has worn every version. She’s the reason it had to be better.

    FAQs

    WHY DO SUBWOOFER COLLARS COST MORE?

    Most “designer” collars are mass-produced overseas with cheap components, cheap labour, a logo slapped on, and shipped worldwide with big mark-ups. Subwoofer collars take the opposite path.

    Each piece of solid brass hardware spends over ten hours travelling from cutting and stamping to de-burring, polishing, inspection, and a final sealing process that alone costs more than many mass-produced collars — locking in colour and protecting against tarnish for years, not months. Our exclusive webbing is marine-grade, UV-stable, and built to outlast nylon or leather. It won’t fade, fray, stretch, or soak up smells. Lighter, softer, and tougher by design, it’s easy to clean and made to go the distance. Finally, every collar is sewn locally by Auckland craftspeople paid fair Kiwi rates.

    It’s these quiet, deliberate details you notice the moment you pick up a Subwoofer collar.

    WHY DOES HAND ENGRAVING MATTER?

    Because lasers just don’t cut it. Our Master Engraver carves each tag by hand with wider, deeper lettering that won’t fade or rub off. It’s an old-school craft that suits our solid 2mm tags, with enough room for bold, easy-to-read lettering on both sides. Optional, but worth it for charm and clarity.

    WILL IT SURVIVE A SWAMPY PACK WALK?

    Yes — just place it in a washing bag and machine wash with similar colours. The webbing handles it beautifully. The leather tab prefers less frequent washing — once a month is plenty. For heavy wear, consider rotating collars: one for everyday, one for best.

    WHAT SIGNATURE STRIPE WILL SUIT MY DOG?

    We suggest a coat colour match at the top of each page to help narrow it down — but of course, it’s just a starting point. The best choice is the one you love on your dog.

    Lovely quality

    Very stylish and lovely quality. Patti is still growing into her collar but I think the colours are great on her.

    Big dog friendly.

    I waited, hoping these guys would bring out a bigger size collar for my Smithfield Cross. When they’re did I order one straight away and I couldn’t be happier. Easy to handle, great in the water and a fantastic finish.

    Thanks so much, Preston — it's great to hear Hudson’s loving his new collar. Big dog owners like you have been patient, and it’s great seeing them finally out and about. Appreciate the kind words.

    Great quality and perfect NZ colours

    Our dog looks very handsome with his new collar and lead. Easy buckle and handy lead with a clip at each end to make shortening the lead or tying up simple. Great quality. Have bought one for a friend!
