Kollar necklace by Wilfried Mayer

VDF products fair: Kollar is a leather choker by Wilfried Mayer, which is designed to look like a high mandarin shirt collar complete with a mother-of-pearl button on the front.

It is made from grey, black or tanned calf leather and meant to supplement the Austrian designer's line of shirts, with their matching buttons perfectly lined up in the centre.

Mayer is perhaps most well-known for his shirts, which marry traditional Viennese linen craft and tailoring with a contemporary, minimalist finish.

To adapt the pieces for modern life, they are rendered in boil-proof soft cotton – a fabric that, unlike linen, does not carry an extensive list of care requirements.

Mayer is one of 15 designers being spotlighted at the VDF products fair by Austrianfashion.net – a platform championing designers who are born or based in Austria.
