The Story Behind Hermes 'Collier De Chien' Bracelet

The story behind Hermes ColliEr De Chien

“A customer's flight of fancy sometimes results in a piece that becomes essential to the Hermes collections. In 1927, a daring customer looking for a belt to accessorize her outfits was especially drawn to our dog collar. The request inspired the house to create a belt decorated with four-faceted Medor studs and adorned with a ring. The purity of the belt's lines and volumes eventually led to the creation of the iconic Collier de Chien bracelet. The Collier de Chien 24 bracelet, as its name suggests, is a refined reinterpretation of the famous Collier de Chien bracelet.”
