COLLIER DE CHIEN: DIY PROJECT!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The <b>Hermès Collier de Chien</b> bracelet has been on the wrists of the most fashionable elite for some time now. And ever since my first visit to </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Hermès with my mom, I have always had my eye on that massively bulky, studded leather cuff (actually, all their leather bracelets are pretty to die for). I can't really say that I'd ever expect it to be an </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Hermès signature though – designed in the 1940s – because it looks so edgy, modern, and quite current given that it was first designed over 60 years ago! Collier de Chien is simply French for "dog collar": appropriately humorous for such a serious brand. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">It comes in all sorts of colors, is always a part of the runway at every season's shows, and has become a part of the Fashion Week uniform (alongside either a Balenciaga, Chloe, or Wang bag, liquid leggings, Louboutins, and Ray Ban aviators). </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">The ever-so-chic Kate Lanphear (senior style director at Elle mag) is always seen sporting her collection, as is Rachel Zoe, among other celebrities. If I were to own one, it'd be in black (or maybe even taupe!) calfskin with gold hardware. Simple, fabulous, and would go with just about everything I own. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><i>Oh, to dream.</i></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">But since the humble<a href="http://usa.hermes.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10202&catalogId=10052&langId=-1&categoryId=143572&leftCategoryId=128521&topCategoryId=127526&parentCategoryId=127565&productId=44967&nbItem=0"> $1,025</a> price tag on this baby is a tad out of reach right now, I'm guessing the next best thing is to MAKE MY OWN. yeah. make. I was reading through <a href="http://carolinesmode.com/caroline/art/193583/paper_collier_de_chien/">Caroline's Mode</a> when I stumbled across this <a href="http://lesailes.hermes.com/datas/modules/NA/279_1276701546971/shared/pdf/bracelet_blanc.pdf">DIY template for a PAPER COLLIER DE CHIEN</a>: a few traces here, a few snips with scissors there, a dab of glue here and here, and you've got yourself one affordable cuff! I will definitely be trying this myself. And if I succeed, I will most definitely be making some friendship </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Hermès paper cuffs. Take a look at <a href="http://lesailes.hermes.com/datas/modules/NA/279_1276701546971/shared/pdf/">these templates</a> to get some ideas on how you can decorate them to make it your own.
