Creation seen in The Hunger Games -
This nude leather Collar by Una Burke is a rock-chic piece that will add a bondage touch to any outfit. This piece takes the form of a medical collar used to heal the body in case of spinal injury. It was recently worn in "The Hunger Games - Mockingjay" by President Snow's dedicated hair and makeup team, led by Trivalda Enfario, as they "make sure every hair is in place (literally)." Made from vegetable-tanned cowhide and featuring a structured aesthetic, this piece could be paired with something loose and flowing for a great contrast of textures.
Úna Burke creations come with their protective tote bag.
Una Burke is sold only in luxury boutiques and art galleries, selected for their exclusivity. This piece is entirely handmade specifically to order at the request of Brigade Mondaine. Discover the designer's collections in our Paris Left Bank Showroom, make an appointment for a unique experience!

Size, Composition & Care
One size for women
Composition: Everything is entirely handmade by the designer Úna Burke in her workshop in Ireland, from full-grain British and Italian vegetable-tanned cowhide and solid gold-plated brass. Vegetable tanning is a more earth-friendly leather production method, and for this reason, among others, the brand received the Positive Luxury Butterfly Trust Mark "When a brand passes our assessment process, it receives the Butterfly Mark, visibly authenticating luxury brands that contribute to a better world."
Care instructions: Do not overexpose to sunlight and avoid contact with moisture, especially water, creams, food, oils, and perfumes. As this item is made from a natural material, variations in color and surface are unique characteristics and not a defect. The texture and tone of the leather are expected to change with age and use.

About the designer Una Burke
Úna launched her eponymous brand in London in 2010, creating both seasonal fashion collections (harnesses, bags, skirts, bracelets...) and sculptural artworks using her traditional leatherworking techniques in her distinctively complex constructions.
Since 2020, she has been working from her native Ireland. The fashion collections have continued to be concept-based, with human stories at their core. The influence comes from psychological, military, and medical sources as a physical reference to the inner warrior in all of us. The artworks are figurative in form and draw from the same source of inspiration.
They are developed on commission for private art collections, public exhibitions, and museum archives. Úna's work has been exhibited in over twenty countries worldwide, and her clients and collectors include New York designer Phillip Lim, the Simone Handbag Museum in Seoul, the National Museum of Ireland, and Nick Knight's creative laboratory "SHOWstudio."
While studying for her Master's in Fashion Artefact at Cordwainers at the London College of Fashion, she produced her iconic "Wearable Art" collection, RE.TREAT, and won the Design Award for Best Static Collection.
Úna's work has been exhibited in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the United States and regularly appears in publications such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Collezioni, and Numero. Clients and collaborators include SHOWstudio, Daphne Guinness, The Hunger Games, Phillip Lim, Jennifer Lawrence, Lady Gaga, The Simone Handbag Museum, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, National Museum of Ireland, Ridley Scott Productions, 2012 Olympic Games, L'Oréal, Fox Network, Madonna, iD, Joyce Boutique, Dazed and Confused, Crafts Council of Ireland, Ozzy Osbourne, Dawn Richard, On Pedder, Heidi Klum, Panos Yiapanis, Elva, Nicki Minaj, Doda, Mert and Marcus, Charlene Muhlach, Charlotte Stockdale, Unconditional, Haifa Wehbe, Judith Clarke, Anna Trevelyan, JLS, Robbie Spencer, LOVE magazine, Vogue Homme.
