Feathers have made an appearance in designer collections for fall and winter, from Givenchy to Elizabeth & James. (Even Shu Uemura has gotten into the act with feathered false eyelashes.) So this collar, by Kalda, immediately caught our eye.

Kalda, a town in Iceland, provides the name and home for this design company. And for the craftsmanship and wow factor this piece captures, we think the price ($178 at Pixie Market) is right.

The collar ties with a satin ribbon around the neck, and would be the perfect touch to a basic black dress during the holiday season. (Or any time a little extra sartorial drama is necessary.)
