Heart Slip-Chain Choker - Handmade Black Leather Collar Necklace with Adjustable Buckle

A Collar That Reads as a Choker

Handmade by EverGlimp in black vegan faux leather, with a slip chain hanging from the front and finished in a heart, and a buckle at the back. The ambiguity is the point. Worn with street clothes it passes for a punk choker; worn anywhere else it is exactly what it appears to be. Which of the two it is has nothing to do with the piece and everything to do with who has it on and where they are.

The buckle adjusts to a neck instead of arriving in fixed sizes, so it closes comfortably on very different builds and stays where you set it. The faux leather is soft, light and does not hold heat against the skin, which is what makes it wearable for a whole evening without your noticing it is there. Assembly is by hand, the hardware is silver, and the heart chain is the only ornament on it. It sits well against lingerie, a club outfit or a costume.

Faux leather and water do not agree with each other. Wipe it down with a dry cloth, keep it away from damp, and store it flat so it never sets into a crease. The silver hardware is happier dry as well. That is the entire routine: no products, no leather conditioner, nothing further. Set the buckle so it rests rather than grips, leaving enough room to slide a finger between the strap and your throat.
