A "Wafu" handmade touch to add color to your cat. A chirimen fabric cat collar.

Hello, this is YOKO from Poponeko!

While vivid colors and bold Scandinavian patterns are lovely, I always find myself drawn to "Japanese-style patterns."

With their traditional Japanese colors and motifs of flowers and seasons, gazing at these intricate designs always makes me think of cats.

Japanese-patterned cat collars seem to suit Japanese cats so well.

So, today I would like to introduce the charm of our "Round Cord Cat Collars", made from domestic crepe fabric.

Gorgeous Crepe Fabric Cat Collars

Many Japanese-style accessories found in variety shops use "crepe" (chirimen). The vibrant patterns and colors are just so cute, aren't they?

At Poponeko, we also make round cord cat collars using high-quality domestic rayon crepe. The smooth, silk-like texture and subtle luster create an elegant impression.

As they are a round cord type, they minimize contact with the skin, making them less likely to cause fur loss around the neck. Of course, they are designed to be lightweight so they don't burden your cat.

Each one is carefully hand-finished by Japanese artisans.

Sophisticated Yuzen Patterns and Charming Seasonal Flower Patterns

Poponeko's round cord cat collars come in 16 colors in total. We offer 4 sophisticated Yuzen patterns, 4 charming seasonal flower patterns, 6 simple solid colors, as well as Arabesque and Kanoko (fawn spot) patterns.

The Yuzen patterns come with a "koban" (gold coin) charm, and the seasonal flower patterns come with a "fishbone" charm♪ They also include a small golden bell. Both are easy to remove, so if your cat isn't fond of the sound of the bell, please don't force it on them.

They are one-size-fits-all. By sliding the knots on the left and right, they can be adjusted to fit neck sizes from 11 to 23 cm. Weighing only about 5g and made of a thin 5mm diameter cord, these collars are safe and comfortable for cats of any age.

Whether they are kittens, seniors, or long-haired cats, everyone can match!

Also beloved by veterinarian YouTuber Dr. Korin

The popular YouTube veterinarian Dr. Korin (Rondobell Animal Clinic) chose our "Round Cord Cat Collars" for his own cats, Zen-kun and Kotetsu-kun!

He mentioned that while he had been using collars since they were kittens, at one point, the fur around their necks thinned out, and he had stopped using collars ever since.

However, because our collars are less likely to cause fur loss, he tried them on his cats, and he said they didn't seem to mind them or scratch at them at all—as if they didn't even notice they were wearing them.

That's right!

Many cats who can't tolerate other collars find that Poponeko's collars are just fine. We are incredibly committed to lightness and gentleness, so I am very happy that Zen-kun and Kotetsu-kun like them♪

Recommended for a first cat collar

Japanese patterns look so good on cats. The Japanese pattern peeking out from the 5mm diameter round cord adds a touch of splendor to your cat.

It makes them look so dapper; it almost makes me want to wear a kimono again (haha).

This "Round Cord Cat Collar" has been a huge hit since it was first released. Although production struggled to keep up and there were times we were out of stock, I am relieved that we have been able to deliver them to everyone.

Because they are round cords made from soft, skin-friendly crepe fabric, there is no need to worry about chafing or humidity. I highly recommend them for a cat's first collar.

While you cannot attach a name sticker, you can attach an ID tag. Enjoy creating a lovely look by combining bells and charms♪
