Animal Stars: Braided collars

Okay so technically Animal Stars appears to be a totally vanilla company but they make a fantastic range of really beautiful braided collars, both flat and round, in customisable colours for comparatively reasonable prices (although they are based in the US so anyone outside of there may get stung for shipping).  Well worth a look if you like leather and fancy something more than just plain black.

Rivit Head: All the spikes and chains

Rivit Head have a whole range of collars available, and I'm not really going to point any out in particular as I'm more pointing out style of them, these are almost archetypal bondage collars - a whole line up of severe black leather covered in studs, rings, studs and lots of hanging chain :)  If you like your collars on the industrial/goth end of things then you may well like looking at these.

Actually in particular their 71C Leather Choker is quite an interesting design, a 2 layer leather collar the outer layer holds not just several O's all along its length, but  bunches of 3 O-rings at a time, really rather beautiful.

Decadent Transitions: Industrial Gothic Collar

Decadent Transitions is a company that seems to mostly concentrate on making really, really fantastic looking floggers (ahem) anyway, thats for another time, what caught my eye was also their interesting line of collars, including their Industrial Gothic Collar which is a segmented afair, sections of leather linking a whole long series of D-rings, giving the whole thing an interesting appearance and also about a million attachment points :)

Chained Desires: Celtic Knot and Pride Collars

Chained Desires do a number of leather bondage collars, among them are a couple of really interesting designs.  These include Collars with celtic knotwork over the throat and also one with cute gay pride flag colours on.

Black Market Chicago: Religious Collars

Well a good example of an interesting an unusual collar is this crucifix themed contoured collar, from Black Market Chicago.  They do a whole range of reasonably standard collars that look like nicely made leather work but some of the stuff they do is really rather interesting, in addition to the one above they also do similar shaped ones for medical play and also this rather cute soft leather day collar with a rose on.

Bear's Leather

Okay so Bear's Leather is a site that specialises in producing really nice handcrafted leather, either in stock designs or apparently custom stuff.  They include a rather fine selection of collars including some awesome BDSM Collars with dropped O's at the front as well as some frankly beautiful and robust looking small posture collars / thick contoured collars as well as more emphasised V-shaped contours going to buckles V-shaped contours going to buckles .

They also do some really interesting stuff that caught my eye.  Wear a day-to-day turian collar and want a more substantially thick leather collar for play?  Well here's a first, a leather collar designed to clip to one.  Oh and all their stuff comes with locking roller buckles as well for keeping them on.

MisfitLeather's heavy collar

I saw This heavy duty collar from MisfitLeather on Etsy and thought I should repost it.  Its a good wide thing that looks solid, just coated in rings.  With a big O at the front and pairs of D's on each side to make a total of 5 attachment points, all in a lovely red and brass.

Cuddlingwolf: Steampunk Posture Collar

I saw this on Fetlife: Steampunk Posture Collar and thought I'd post it here, awesome dark red leather posture collar with a close at the front (I think) that's made of an antiqued bronze cabin latch (my latch knowledge isn't fantastic).  Anyway, quite a nice looking collar and an interesting combination of features.

Aslan Leather

Okay so Aslan Leather do a whole bunch of cute collars, they seem to mostly be doing, heavy duty leather 1.5"   tall collars, all lined with large (1"ish) D&O rings in all kinds of colours.  They also do contour collars (chevrons) with drop D-rings and a few extra padded ones.  However the cool thing they do is a vegan collars that is a nice plain simple black (most vegan collars I see seem to be in bright colours for some reason).

Liquid Nymph

Liquid Nymph are makers of "handcrafted fetish jewellery" which primarily is a whole bunch of awesome collars, including french-maid themed ones, harem ones and some more traditional leather ones.  Expect a lot of lace and frills, and if you like that kind of thing you should go along and check them out.

Absolute Devotion

Absolute Devotion over at Etsy do a number of interesting collars, mostly in fabric and leather.  What drew my attention to them however was their line of brocade collars, with a fantastic mix of quite subtle ones, fantasticly shaped ones, wonderfully contoured ones and even ornate maid posture collars.  Really nice work, very inspiring :)

Spanking Good

Spanking Good do a whole line of basic but also functional and robust looking leather items.  Cuffs, collars, harnesses (of all kinds, including thigh-and-over-the-neck, a new one on me). The whole 9 yards, at very reasonable prices (in UK pounds no less).  They also apparently are happy to do whatever custom colour schemes and sizes you want.

Interestingly the site also has ankle cuffs designed to keep high heels on, something I've seen occasionally but not usually from the UK.

Sir PollyPuma

Okay this is just a fantastic bit of work, a simple leather collar that is closed with poppers at one end, and in the middle of it are riveted two bits of leather forming the shape of a bow tie around the wearers neck.  Just so whimsical and cool :)

Bowtie Collar

Mr S. Leather

Well recently I came across an interesting site from the US.  Mr. S. Leather, featuring some nice robust looking metal collars, thick leather collars and also some chainmail, a good selection.

Church of Sinvention

Another site offering nice and robust looking leather (and vegan) collars.  These particularly took my eye because of the subtle addition of the hardware, instead of being big plates it looks smoothly riveted on and integrated almost:

Corporal Dale

If you fancy some nice robust looking custom leather collars you could do worse than looking here, same site also offers paddles, slappers, restraints, cuffs, etc.etc.etc. in fact almost anything made out of leather:

Fantasies in Leather

If you're looking for some interesting contoured collars (and others, including some nice flat silver ones) then you may wish to check out:

Fantasies in Leather

Molloss

Okay totally worth viewing for the introductory flash if nothing else, one part shakey-cam one part disturbing music video background, sadly this means its deep linking and accessibility fail as far as I can tell.  The collars themselves also appear to justify the atmosphere on the site, looking robust and beautifully industrial.

Vegan Collars

Okay so some people who like collars dislike using animal products (which in my opinion means they should go for metal Mmmm metal) however if they want something nice and flexible what are they to do?  Well the people over at Vegan Erotica believe that being kinky and being vegan are not incompatible:
