Saint Laurent came out with these really cute bow collars for Fall. They created them in silk, and in sequin and (my favorite) leather. They're fairly easy to re-create if you have basic sewing skills.
Supplies-
- Leather (mine came from a thrift store skirt)
- Satin choker necklace (available at most craft stores)
- Craft glue
 |
| [Cut the leather into 3 sections. 1st 5 ½ inches wide and 8 ½ inches long. 2nd 5 ½ inches wide and 10 inches long. 3rd 5 ½ inches wide and 13 inches long] |
 |
| [Fold the leather over width wise- right sides together. Sew the ends and top closed- leave a small opening in the middle so you can turn it right side out] |
 |
| [Turn the leather right side out. Repeat these steps with the other 2 pieces of leather] |
 |
| [Place the layers on top of each other from smallest to largest. Make sure they are centered] |
 |
| [Cut out a section of leather that measures 2 inches wide and 3 ½ inches long] |

This is fantastic! I can't even tell the difference between the YSL version and yours. You're amazing!
