A story in a single line.

The Straightened Necklace is a longline lariat-style leather necklace that sets off an outfit with a single confident stroke of silver.

An essay in minimalism and elegance, this is a piece that encapsulates Tania’s design language. Hand cut elements along the whole length allow for sinuous movement - snaking around the curve of the neck and down the body. The necklace is hand-finished in fresh silver, adding contrast to the dark tones of the leather.

This is a piece that holds its own dressed-up or down - sitting as comfortably with an evening dress or suit, as it does with a simple T-shirt. The beauty is in its apparent simplicity. The clever design detail is hidden, magnetic closures buried within the leather, maintaining its purity of form.
