Extra Long Handmade Ruff Collar | Renaissance Ruff | Wearable Textile Art

Some costume accessories complete an outfit.

This one becomes the outfit.

This extraordinary extra-long handmade Ruff Collar is entirely handcrafted from hundreds of carefully formed loops of cream-coloured straw cord, meticulously attached to an elegant cotton jacquard ribbon. The result is a remarkably sculptural piece that balances historical inspiration with contemporary textile art.

Unlike traditional ruffs, this design offers exceptional versatility. Wear it as a dramatic cascading collar over the shoulders, wrap it twice around the neck to create a luxurious double ruff, or style it creatively for theatrical, editorial or fantasy costumes.

Its warm ivory colour complements almost every historical costume, from Renaissance and Elizabethan gowns to Baroque, Victorian, Steampunk and Fantasy creations.

Every loop has been individually shaped by hand. No machinery. No mass production. Just many hours of patient craftsmanship.
