Cheshire & Wain's Louis Wain Cat Collars and Cat Art

is Blooming Lovely for Spring

As nature starts to bloom and excitement for Chelsea Flower Show is incoming, inject the bright floral beauty of Spring into a feline’s pawdrobe and a cat lover’s home with the Louis Wain collection from British luxury cat accessories and lifestyle brand Cheshire & Wain.

Cheshire & Wain’s colourful collection pays homage to the work of eccentric British artist Louis Wain, which often depicted cats with vibrant floral backdrops. Brought to life on screen by Benedict Cumberbatch in The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (2021), Wain captivated hearts with his widely popular anthropomorphic cats, elevating their status from vermin and occasional mousers to the pets we love today. Author H.G. Wells said, “He has made the cat his own. He invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world. English cats that do not look and live like Louis Wain cats are ashamed of themselves.”

Since 2013, Cheshire & Wain have somewhat followed in their part-namesake’s footsteps to ensure every cat can live their best nine lives. And with their exclusive Louis Wain leather cat collars, both indoor or outdoor cats can launch into Spring looking fine, dandy and colourful in their preferred hue of Electric Blue, Chartreuse Green, Purrsimmon Orange or Pastel Mint.

Made from the finest Italian leather with a matte rubberised surface, each collar has a contrasting soft suede lining for comfort, with an optional bell. Handcrafted with love in England, the collars (£55) feature Cheshire & Wain’s signature breakaway safety catch and optional personalisation. They arrive beautifully presented in a special edition Louis Wain gift box. High society kitties can choose to elevate their colourful collar further for soirees, outdoor strolls and other engagements with a matching or contrasting Gem Collar Charm (£16). Set in sterling silver, gems include Aquamarine, Blood Orange, Chartreuse and Pink Sapphire.

Cat lovers can also add the joy of flowers (and cats!) to their home in Louis Wain’s technicolour style with a choice of two Art Prints – A Cat With Her Kittens and Flower Cat, which fuse Wain’s famous wide-eyed pussycats with the themes of his lesser-known work featuring flowers and landscapes. Available in A4 and A3, the imagery is specially licensed to Cheshire & Wain, with each limited-edition print produced on museum-quality heavyweight Hahnemühle paper by a fine art printer in London. Priced from £45.
