Textile jewelry & detachable collars

The Textile Jewelry and Detachable Collars category brings together a small selection of designer textile accessories created by MALAM and crafted in France. Sitting somewhere between jewelry and clothing accessory, these pieces are worn around the neck to transform the neckline of a garment or become a decorative element in their own right.

The current collection mainly consists of detachable collars and pleated choker-style neck pieces. Worn on their own or over a collarless garment, they can immediately change the look of a designer top or blouse, a MALAM sweater or cardigan or an original dress from the collection.

Pleating and textile work are central to these designs. Cotton lace, fine corduroy, printed or tartan voile and faux leather can give the same basic form a very different character, from a subtle graphic detail to a more pronounced retro or slightly Victorian-inspired look.

Color, pattern and texture also shape the character of each piece. Plain black, sheer effects, bird prints, checks and mixed materials create very different results around the neck and décolletage.

Some designs are in stock in a specific size. Depending on the model, others can also be made to your measurements, using the neck circumference provided when ordering.

These accessories can also add an unexpected detail to a simple outfit or complement a more dressed-up look. They sit naturally within the MALAM collection of original accessories, while keeping their own identity somewhere between jewelry, collar and textile design.

Each design is conceived and developed in the MALAM workshop in France, before small-scale artisanal construction.

The pieces are offered as one-of-a-kind designs, small batches or limited quantities.
