【New Product】Cat collars made from Okayama Kojima denim are now available!

Hello, this is YUI from Poponeko♪

We recently had an incident where our model cat, Cha-chan, went viral on Twitter, which unexpectedly drew a lot of attention to our skin protection clothing for cats.

Although it's not meant to be a fashion item, it looks just adorable on Cha-chan, don't you think? Haha.

Our new "Okayama Denim" cat collars are another piece we're confident will make your cat look even cuter! Today, I’d love to share all about their charm.

The Holy Land of Denim: Okayama's Kojima District

Have you ever heard of Okayama Denim?

When people think of denim, American brands usually come to mind, but "Okayama Denim" is currently gaining a lot of attention.

The Kojima district in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, has a long history of cotton cultivation. Artisans specializing in weaving, dyeing, and sewing gathered there, marking the beginning of their denim production.

"Kojima Jeans Street" is lined with shops featuring both long-established brands and young creators. It is said that the quality of these "Made in Japan" goods has captured the attention of buyers from all over the world.

Just imagining a cat collar made from denim from this "Holy Land of Denim" is exciting, isn't it?♪

Soft and supple denim fabric

Even though it's denim, it's not the stiff, heavy kind of fabric.

For our cat collars, we chose a finely woven, lightweight denim. It feels incredibly soft against the skin—not stiff at all, but rather supple. And, of course, it's 100% cotton.

It’s authentic, indigo-dyed denim, yet it’s gentle on cats. That’s why I love it so much.

Since we're using authentic Okayama Denim, I wanted to be meticulous about the stitch and buckle colors too! I worried over it quite a bit and made prototypes until I was completely satisfied.

The result is a stylish and functional cat collar that showcases the skills of our artisans through "Okayama Denim"!

"Okayama Kojima Denim" cat collars come in 4 colors

Our "Okayama Kojima Denim" cat collars are available in four colors: blue, navy, black, and hickory. Each is available in both a normal style and a ribbon style.

The buckle features an antique design inspired by jean rivets, which pairs perfectly with the orange stitching♪

Because the fabric has just the right thickness, it also has the benefit of keeping the buckle from loosening easily.

It retains the durability of denim while feeling soft and supple. We hope you and your energetic or mischievous cat will enjoy a bit of style with these "Okayama Denim" cat collars!
