[New Product] New series released! Bandana cat collars are now available!

Hello, this is CHIKAKO from Poponeko!

The weather is getting colder bit by bit, and it's that time of year when a warm drink is such a treat. It’s also a time to enjoy staying up just a little bit later.

Now, what I’d like to introduce today is our "Cat Collar with Bandana."

I’d love to tell you the story behind the development of this new series, which is packed with care and ingenuity.

The first release is the Paisley pattern

Our new "Cat Collar with Bandana" series is finally making its debut.

The first release features the paisley pattern—a classic when it comes to bandanas. It has such a cheerful feel and looks like it would suit an energetic cat perfectly.

There are nine colors in total! This is even more variety than our "Cat Collar Paisley Series," making the lineup even livelier.

Of course, it's 100% cotton, so it's fluffy and soft. It’s gentle on the skin, so you can rest easy.

We plan to add more new patterns in the future, so please let us know if you have any requests!

Finally bringing the bandana style to life

I wanted to create a new cat collar. With that thought in mind, I steadily began making prototypes.

I’d received many requests for a "bandana-style cat collar" for some time, and while I wanted to make it happen, I struggled to create something I was truly satisfied with...

There was a rather difficult period where I would create a prototype only to give up on it.

It was a non-negotiable condition that the bandana shouldn't get in the cat’s way, and that the size must still be adjustable even with the bandana attached. And of course, it had to look cute on them.

After trying this and that, I finally arrived at this shape and size!

It's also great that it expands the range of expression

Our standard cat collars are about 10mm wide. Choosing fabric patterns for them is quite tough because you have to calculate how the pattern will appear on such a narrow strip.

Even when I found lovely fabric, the pattern would often disappear once it was made into a collar. That was the difficulty.

But with a bandana style...!

You can clearly show off even larger patterns that I had to give up on before. I love the bandana style not just for its cuteness, but for its power of expression.

As an aside, I hear that at Poponeko, if a new product idea is adopted, you get a little reward (lol). With that kind of surprise in mind, I’m moving forward with the planning of the second release in high spirits.

Please be careful when choosing the size

The new "Cat Collar with Bandana" is also available in four sizes: S, M, L, and LL.

Please note that the sizing is slightly different from our standard cat collars. Before you purchase, please refer to our Size Guide to check your cat’s neck size.

This is the first cat collar to be commercialized since I joined the Poponeko workshop. I’m savoring the joy of bringing an idea to life and being able to share it with all of you.

I would be so happy if it becomes a favorite for many cats and their owners.
