The Pierrot Collar is a pleated ruff for adults, kids and toddlers. This versatile accessory has numerous ways to style it: tie it in a bow, embellish with a vintage scarf slide, tie it in the back or to one side. Wear it with a bonnet. Make one for you and one for the kiddo. Suitable for daily wear or fancy dress. It’s lovely worn over wool layers and it makes an easy addition to your winter-to-spring transitional attire.
