Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to traditional cowhide bolo ties, the Bolo Necklace offers a significantly lower carbon footprint and avoids the harsh tanning chemicals associated with animal skins. While standard textile cords may fray over time, the high-quality corn leather used by Pandaere maintains its structural integrity and luxury sheen. It bridges the gap between casual fabric chokers and formal metal necklaces, offering a unique middle ground for personal expression.

How to use it

1. Slide the centerpiece up or down to adjust the fit around your collar.
2. Wear it tight like a traditional tie for formal events or business meetings.
3. Loosen the slide for a relaxed, bohemian look with an open-necked shirt.
4. Ensure the gold-plated aglets hang evenly for a symmetrical aesthetic.
5. Wipe clean with a damp, soft cloth to maintain the corn leather’s finish.
