These statement-making cuffs offer a new take on an old classic.
As the story goes, in 1927, a well-to-do Hermès customer was craving a custom belt to accessorize her outfits and got inspired after seeing a chic dog collar made by the French fashion house. Since innovation is at the heart of the maison, the opportunity to flex its creative muscles meant that it was up for the challenge. (Dare we say it was a cinch?) It wasn’t long before the now iconic piece jumped from waist to wrist. This fall, the Collier de Chien (or dog collar) bracelets come in a new spectrum of colors and range of materials, including sweet shades of mauve and warm ivory, complemented by chunky gold hardware. (For the urbanites who err on the side of monochromaticity, the new offerings also come in reliable hues of black and tan.) The pieces are rugged yet sleek—anchored by four faceted Médor studs and an adjoining ring.
As we ease into the colder months, affectionately known as cuf ng season, this luxe accessory will not only look great but could help your romantic game too. Could there be a better piece to adorn a come-hither wave? Should it all pan out, you could name your rstborn after that aristocratic customer of yore.
