Pickup currently not available
This choker is adorned with a variety of huge spikes. It includes 8x 2" plated brass spikes, 8x 4" hollow aluminum spikes, 4x 6" hollow aluminum spikes, and 2x 10" hollow aluminum spikes. Please be aware that this choker is relatively HEAVY. However, the weight is distributed well due to the width of the choker.
The leather portion of this choker is 1.5" wide. It is available in two different adjustable lengths or custom fit to your measurements.
If you choose "custom fit", you MUST include your measurements in the "special instructions" field in your cart before pressing "check out" OR send them in a message within 7 days of ordering. If I do not receive your measurements within 7 days of your item being purchased, your item will be made in standard sizing. Read more about taking your measurements in the FAQ below this listing.
Every item is made to order, which means you will not be receiving the exact item that's shown in the photos but instead a piece that's made specifically for you! As such, there may be some minor differences between the piece in the photo and the piece you receive.
frequently asked questions
What leather do you use?
We use a full-grain vegetable-tanned cowhide leather that we import directly from a tannery in Italy. The backs are resin-coated to keep the surface smooth and make cleaning easier.
The tannery we source our leather from has maintained a silver rating in the LWG Environmental Stewardship Audit as well as an ICEC Sustainability Certification and a Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata al Vegetale Quality Certification.
Does your metal have nickel plating?
Some of our metals have nickel plating. If you have a nickel allergy, please visit our contact form and send Lex a message including what piece/pieces you're interested in. She will get back to you with instructions on how to order a nickel-free version at no upcharge.
How do I measure for custom sizing?
The best way to measure for custom sizing is using a soft and flexible measuring tape. When taking your measurement, record the measurement where it sits flush against your skin. Do not pull the measuring tape too tight or make the measuring tape too loose. When I make your piece I will include several holes so that you will still have adjustability options.
If you do not have a soft measuring tape you can use a ribbon. Use it as if it were a measuring tape then cut the ribbon so that the ends just meet. Set the ribbon out against a stiff ruler to see how long the ribbon is. This method may not be as accurate as using a soft tape measure will be.
When will I get my order?
As each item is made-to-order, your order can take anywhere from 1 - 3 weeks to process. If the processing time is expected to take longer for any reason, you will be informed.
Standard shipping to addresses in the United States is free. Once shipped, your order may take anywhere from 3 - 7 business days to arrive.
Orders shipped to addresses outside of the United States have a small shipping fee. Once shipped, your order may take anywhere from 1 - 2 months to arrive.
If you need your order by a particular date please send us a message before ordering so we can confirm if it will reach you on time.
What is your return/exchange policy?
Cancellations are accepted within two days of an order being placed. The buyer will receive a full refund.
An "exchange" is when you would like a different size of the same product you received. Exchanges must be requested within two days of the item being received and the item must be shipped back within the following three business days. Buyers are responsible for shipping costs. Once the exchanged item is received, the new item will be sent out.
Returns (not related to any flaws on the item itself) must be requested within two days of the item being received and the item must be shipped back within the next three business days. Buyers are responsible for shipping costs. Once the returned item is received, a refund will be issued. The refund will not include original shipment costs (approximately $6 in the US and $20 outside of the US) Exchanging one piece for one of a different design counts as a return.
What if I have an issue with my item?
Please contact us right away and we will find a solution, whether it be a refund or a replacement. Even though I thoroughly check each piece for flaws, sometimes things will slip through the cracks as I am only one person and can make mistakes!
Please be aware that there may be minor flaws on the leather as it is a natural product and, as such, has variations. But any flaw that affects the durability or overall aesthetic of the piece is not normal and will result in a refund or replacement.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes! We absolutely love custom orders! If you have any ideas you want to discuss, please visit our contact form. Your message will be sent directly to Lex who will then work hand-in-hand with you to get your idea designed out and hand-produced!
Once paid for, custom orders cannot be canceled, exchanged, or returned. However, I will work closely with you throughout the entire creation process to guarantee that the item you receive is exactly what you want!
How should I clean my leather?
Thankfully, the leather we use does not require much maintenance. It is already stuffed with oils, giving it a supple feel. Due to the leather's finish, most small dirty spots can simply be washed off with a gentle damp rag and dried after.
However, if you would like to clean your pieces more thoroughly, click here for a guide. Please note, you may not need all the products or need to follow every step that's listed. Feel your leather and only give it as much care as it needs.
