I have to admit that I coveted the new Hermes fur scarf collar the minute I saw it introduced this past fall, and Ranag's recent reveal of her beauty only whetted the appetite I'm afraid!
But, there was no way that I could afford it or justify buying one, as I live in Atlanta with limited days to wear such a collar. What to do? Well, I decided to make my own. I searched eBay and found a brand new dark brown fox fur collar from a furrier in Newport News, Virginia for $12.00. Better yet, eBay had just sent me a $25 gift card, so the collar was FREE.
I cut lengths of Hermes ribbon (we all have a good supply of that around the house) and stitched the loops to the underside of the collar. I even had the right shade of brown thread on hand. After 45 minutes of dutiful stitching, viola - a pretty good looking facsimile of Hermes luxury.
Of course, it's not officially from Hermes, and I'm sure that it's not as nice as the real thing, but I'm pretty happy with it and will enjoy wearing it with some of my H. scarves.
Total Investment? Time - 45 minutes. Cost - $0.
Merry Christmas!
Here's the first post that started this ongoing thread:
So, the topic should be related to Hermes, furs and crafts related thereto keeping with the original concept of this thread. General chatter unrelated to this, especially having nothing to do with Hermes, belongs in Chat.
