That collar from the Sephora ads?

February 11, 2007 11:32 PM

This is kinda (really) obscure, but what the hell. Does anyone know where they got the collar that is being worn here?

It's sephora.com, and if you go past a Sephora, at least in the Seattle area, it's very prominently in the front window. It has to exist somewhere, and I really really really would like to know. I will love you forever if you have any idea, or anyone I could ask -- I mean, I can e-mail some random address at sephora.com, but I don't really expect having much success that way.

Thanks much, even if this comes up with nothing.

If they're in the store display, maybe you'd have luck calling the local manager and inquiring? At least as a first step. They may be a custom job for promotional purposes only. You might be able to narrow it down by contacting the store first.

I had a (very cheap ass) version of that collar when I was younger. I'll see if I can find something similar.
(Store display seems unlikely to help, I was just in Sephora the other day and they didn't have anything like that in their typical BUYMORESHIT stuff.)

Preview damnit, preview.

I've found a few similar looking ones on ebay and Hot Topic's website, but nothing exactly like that one. (I also can't find the cheap ass one I used to own.) Email might be your best bet because I'm guessing that those kind of chokers might disappear for a bit after Valentine's Day.

If I had to guess, I would say that it probably came from a neighborhood sex shop - it looks like a pretty typical leather bondage collar with a D-ring. Add a heart shaped lock and there you go.

The heart lock in the picture looks like it has the sephora 'S' shape on it, so it's at least partially custom. The basic play collar looks similar, minus the heart.

on preview, what milkrate said.

I thought it was known as a "choker".
