    Care: Solid brass hardware — naturally develops a patina over time but our light-fur version has a protective finish to retain its golden tone and reduce maintenance.
    Light-fur version has a protective finish — wipe clean only. The natural version can be carefully cleaned with brass cream, avoiding webbing.

    5 YEAR GUARANTEE

    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
    Patina and normal wear are not covered — they’re part of the charm.



    We offer a 5-year guarantee on all Subwoofer gear — including collars with engraved tags. If you change your mind, you’re welcome to return your collar for a refund or exchange. Just note: engraving is custom, so that bit’s non-refundable.

    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. Depending whether your pup has dark or light fur we leave the brass untreated for a natural patina over time or apply a final proprietary sealing finish, more commonly used in premium tapware. This step protects light fur from marks, and keeps every collar looking freshly polished with minimal 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.

    WHAT SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

    Check our Size Guide for measurements, fit tips, and breed examples — or get in touch if you’re unsure. Our collars come in three sizes for roughly these weights:

    Tiny — for dogs under 5kg
    Small — for dogs 5–20kg
    Large — for dogs 20–40kg

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lovely collar - very flash

    Love the new collar, and especially the built in name/phone tag. Would post a photo but the dog's coat is a bit long at the moment so it's not showing terribly well through the thicket of hair - when it's warmer and she's had a groom, will post an update pic. In the meantime, v. impressed with quality and design - v. special collar for a v. special dog.

    Rocky was very happy to receive his collar for his 4th birthday. A touch of class with comfort, he knows it looks fabulous on him. Because its nice and soft, I’m happy for him to wear it overnight. It’s like your favourite comfortable bra but with a certain poshness that you’re happy to show off!
    We love it 💖
