Story & heritage
The Collier de Chien — literally dog collar — began as exactly that. In the 1920s, when fashionable Parisiennes travelled with their dogs, the saddle-maker's house was commissioned to make collars; the studded, ringed design proved so striking that in 1927 a customer asked for it as a belt. The bracelet version followed.
Its hardware is drawn straight from equestrian and saddlery vocabulary: four-faceted Médor pyramid studs flanking a central O-ring that turns freely. Known to collectors as the CDC, it remains one of the house's boldest and most architectural jewellery pieces.
Materials & craft
The CDC is built on a wide leather cuff — box calf, Swift, Epsom or exotic skins like alligator and ostrich — fitted with a metal plate carrying the four pyramid studs and the central ring. The hardware is offered in palladium-, gold- or rose-gold plating, and the bracelet is also made in solid sterling silver.
Leather and metal are assembled by hand in France, the cuff lined and edge-finished in the house's manner; the freely spinning O-ring is a signature detail that looks solid but moves.
How to choose & style
The leather CDC reads boldest worn alone as a statement cuff; the all-silver version is sleeker and more jewellery-like. Black with palladium is the sharp classic; the house's signature orange is the most recognisable; alligator versions are the most opulent. It is a deliberately strong piece — best given room rather than buried under a stack.
