Our Story — Jacaranda Collars
We're Sarah & Adam — and we make collars for dogs we'd be proud to own
Some businesses start with a business plan. Ours started with a gap in the market, a passion for dogs, and a workbench in Orange, NSW.
Jacaranda Collars is the creation of Sarah — designer, maker, and the driving force behind every collar and lead we produce. Sarah spotted what was missing: waterproof, durable, genuinely tough dog gear that didn't cost a fortune and didn't fall apart after a day on the farm, a muddy paddock, or a hard week's work in the Central West. She knew PVC webbing was the answer, and she built Jacaranda Collars around it from the ground up.
"We make gear we'd put on our own dog. That's the standard everything has to meet."
Adam handles the admin, the website, and everything behind the scenes — because behind every great maker is someone keeping the wheels turning. Together we work out of Orange in the Central West of NSW, the same town we both grew up in. There's something fitting about building something here — regional Australia is exactly the kind of place where dogs work hard, play harder, and need gear that keeps up.

Sarah
Founder & Maker
Sarah is the creative force behind every Jacaranda collar — designing, cutting, punching and riveting each one by hand. With a lifelong passion for dogs and an eye for what's missing in the market, she created Jacaranda Collars from scratch and keeps pushing it forward with innovations like the adjustable martingale with buckle and dual leads. She's also the reason the workbench is always a little chaotic and a lot of fun.

Adam
Operations & Web
Adam keeps everything running — website, Google Ads, admin, markets, and making sure orders get out the door even when that means big days and late nights. He also makes collars alongside Sarah, which mostly involves goofing off, making each other laugh, and somehow still producing brilliant work. It's almost the perfect partnership. Almost.
We still do the markets — and we love it 🛒
You'll still find us at local markets around the Central West, and that's never going to change. There's something irreplaceable about meeting our customers face to face — watching them pick up a collar, feel the quality, and understand immediately why it's different. We're genuinely proud of what we make, and the markets are where we get to show it. Come say hi — we don't bite. The dogs might.
Made by hand. Every single one.
Every collar, every lead, every martingale is handmade by us. No factory, no shortcuts, no batch production. Each piece is measured and cut by hand, holes punched precisely, and finished with rivets — a stronger, more waterproof construction than stitching that holds up to everything an Aussie dog can throw at it.
When your order arrives it's been made from scratch by the same hands that designed it. That's not a marketing line — that's just how we do things.
Sarah doesn't just make collars — she improves them
Our adjustable martingale with buckle came from Sarah's frustration with traditional martingale designs that have no buckle — meaning you wrestle them over your dog's head every single time. She solved it. Our dual leads came from watching how people actually walk their dogs. Every product we sell exists because Sarah saw a problem and fixed it.
Why Jacaranda?
Sarah has always loved the jacaranda tree — bold, distinctive, unmistakably beautiful. It felt right for a brand built on colour, character and a bit of regional Australian soul. If you've ever seen a jacaranda in full bloom you'll understand — there's nothing quite like it. That's the standard we hold our collars to.
What we stand for
🇦🇺
Handmade in Australia
Every piece made by us, every time. No exceptions.
💧
PVC that performs
Waterproof, odour resistant, built for real Aussie conditions.
💰
Honest pricing
Quality shouldn't cost a fortune. We keep it fair, always.
🐕
Dogs first
Every decision starts and ends with what's best for the dog.
We could have charged a fortune. We chose not to.
We could have built Jacaranda Collars around Biothane — it's a name that sounds premium and carries a premium price tag. But here's the thing: Biothane is simply a brand name for coated PVC webbing. The material is fundamentally the same as what we use. We chose to be upfront about that, price our products fairly, and let the quality speak for itself. You shouldn't have to pay a fortune for gear that genuinely works. That's not how we operate.
We started Jacaranda Collars at the local markets around the Central West and have grown from there — now shipping Australia wide and beyond. We're a small business and proud of it. Every order matters to us, every customer is real, and every collar that leaves our hands has been made with genuine care.
Thanks for supporting something handmade. It means everything.

Jacaranda Collars — Orange, NSW, Australia
The catching lead look a fantastic love the vibrant colours great quality so thankyou very much 😊.
Bought the seatbelt ties. They didn't fit in the polaris buggy plugs but perfect for the ute. Love the colours 🎨
Great service, fast delivery and answered all my pesky questions! Excellent quality leads and collars
I have just moved to the coast where I walk the beach most days with my greyhound! She loves the water but cannot be off leash. This long waterproof leash is absolutely perfect for trotting in the waves!
Lightweight, but not TOO light, great colour too! Thanks so much!
I found jacaranda collars at Dubbo show! Bought 4 items,the BEST collars I have ever had. Soft but durable,keep there colour perfectly,don’t get hard and brittle after a few months of wear and tear!
I seen them again at Nyngan ag expo,a few friends bought some things,nothing but good commmets.
Now my entire working crew (8 kelpies) are sporting jacaranda collars!
We LOVE THEM!!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic products! Very impressed with the hand-made quality. Size guide was accurate and very reasonably priced. Very fast delivery and products look great as well. Highly recommend.
Product is better than expected!
The colour is great, lightweight and delivery was on time!
It took a while to finally find a puppy collar small enough for my toy Cavoodle. Jacaranda sent me the cutest, great quality collar. Thank you
I am SO happy with our order!
I inquired a few times and Jacaranda were extremely efficient with responding and helpful!
We ordered the Martingale collar for both our girls one of them usually needs a face-harness due to pulling like a freight-train, she now does not need it and has drastically improved.
The quality is amazing and is so easy to clean and so bright, I also love how there are so many different colours to choose from.
From,
A very happy customer 😁
Collars and leads arrived really quickly and are of great quality, heaps better than more expensive ones I've previously purchased.
Absolutely love this waterproof set. The neon pink is beautiful and highly visible on my red heeler pup. It's completely weatherproof, incredibly easy to clean, and doesn't get smelly like standard nylon collars. Wonderful to find such a high-quality product made right here in Australia by a small business. The medium size is perfect for a growing puppy. Will definitely buy again!
Absolutely thrilled with our 10-metre Waterproof Long Line Dog Lead in fluoro pink from Jacaranda Collars! Fantastic customer service, incredibly quick and helpful responses, and the quality is absolutely superb.
We live in the city, and unfortunately our little fluff ball can’t safely be off lead. We do, however, have a lovely big oval nearby, and this gives her the freedom to sniff, explore and potter around while still keeping her safely connected to us.
The first time we used it, she couldn’t believe her little fluffy eyes when she looked up and realised we were quite a distance away. For our little 7kg fluff ball, it may be complete overkill, but the peace of mind that comes from knowing she’s attached to such a strong, beautifully made lead is worth every cent.
The fluoro pink is gorgeous, it feels sturdy without being cumbersome, and we honestly couldn’t be happier.
“Zero returns. That’s our record.” That line absolutely sold me, and now that we have the lead in our hands, I can completely see why! Fantastic Australian-made product, wonderful customer service and a business I’d happily recommend.
We give Jacaranda Collars 5-stars, and Miss Ruby gives you five very enthusiastic tail wags and two paws up! 🐾🎀
The collar is great quality. And shipping was very fast. I will definitely purchase again.
I stumbled across Jacaranda Collars when browsing for a new collar for my escape artist doggo, i liked what i saw, placed an order on the Tuesday late at night and i had it at my door by Friday morning!! The green and orange colours are even better than i had expected, i definitely wont be losing my pup anytime soon! Very happy customer, will be purchasing again for sure!!
Have ordered from a couple of times now.
Cannot fault the products and built to last!
I’ve tried many many collars and leads and these guys by far make the best quality!!
Worth every cent thank you
