The Luxe White Collar is not for the faint of heart, people who are new to wearing collars, or those who only like to wear collars "for show." This is a collar that's made to withstand a lot of rough use in a more comfortable design. It can be used in a number of different play scenes and for different people. Those that own many collars in the normal black can opt for this collar since it is wider and dyed white, or the Luxe White Collar can also be good for people who want a collar that will survive more abuse.

Since this collar is so expensive, I do not recommend it to people wanting to buy their "first collar" or who have any doubt in their mind about liking this collar. It is wide, it is bulky, and it is not something that you can afford to waste money on! Of course, if you're certain that the Luxe White Collar is the one for you, then it is definitely worth the money.

Made of a high quality white leather, perfectly colored without any imperfections, the Luxe White Collar is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Upon opening its packaging, I was able to smell the sweet scent of premium leather. It actually has a very strong scent, which I love since I happen to be a leather fetishist. The leather is to die for; it's smooth, luxurious, and makes the collar so comfortable, it can be slept in (though I do not recommend this, since it's very wide).

There are a couple of different layers of leather that make up this collar: a softer layer that touches the skin, and two firmer layers on the outside, both for looks and structure. The two layers that are facing outward are a bit of an off-white color in comparison to the softer leather inside. It's also firmer, and is what gives the collar its shape. Between the innermost and outermost layers is a thin bit of padding that allows the neck to feel more cushion and plush as opposed to harder, and sometimes painful, alternative posture collars.

The Luxe White Collar is adorned with a large, 1 1/2" diameter o-ring and a locking buckle. There are twelve smaller rivets along the outermost layer of leather, six on each side of the triangular d-ring, and one larger rivet near the buckle. All of the hardware on this collar is metal. At 22" in total length, and with six slits spaced 1/4" apart for adjustment, the collar can fit necks sized from 13" to 17 1/2". The width of the collar is an entire 3".

There are some stylistic parts to this collar that are all done extremely well and make me love it even more. The stitching on the collar is done perfectly, and it looks absolutely divine in all places. There are no popping out threads and it does not rub on the skin in any weird ways during wear. All of the corners of the collar are folded over, creating nice, rounded corners that are firmly tucked into place. On the inside is ASLAN Leather's little tag that can barely be felt because it's a soft, not itchy material.

This collar is the most perfect training collar for any submissive who wants to start wearing posture collars. Unlike most posture collars, the collar is padded for extra comfort and is also a bit shorter as to not hurt the submissive's head or neck (most are at least 4", whereas the Luxe White Collar is three). That means that it's a toned down version of a posture collar, still yielding the same results.

That's what I love about the collar; I am able to put it around my little girl's neck without her feeling uncomfortable, but still keep her head straight or from tilting down when I do not want for it to. It can also be very roughly used, and can withstand a lot of abuse. It can be firmly tugged on without coming off, and it can be dragged around if need be. I expect many years from this beautiful collar.

Even though the collar was a bit misshapen from the folding of the packaging, it was easily broken in. A few wears and it started to become a bit more flexible, as well as flatter. It still retained its firmness and structure (a good thing!).

If the collar needs to be cleaned, wipe it with a damp cloth and make sure to thoroughly dry before storing. The same goes for any of the hardware on the collar; to keep it from rusting, make sure to dry thoroughly. Many people recommend nail polish as a way to not only coat the metals from rust, but to also keep them out of the way of sensitive skin.

Since the plastic baggie the Luxe White Collar came in cannot be reused, I suggest either hanging the collar up (I loop a link through the locking buckle), or lying it down flat on a shelf. Always store the collar out of direct sunlight, and make sure to keep it in well-ventilated areas.

If you have any trouble with your collar and something weird happens to it (it starts rusting, the leather starts to wear down), ASLAN Leather's products come with a lifetime guarantee.

The collar comes folded in a plastic baggy that's sealed shut; it cannot be reused, sadly. Nothing too extraordinary, but it keeps the collar safe as it travels its short trip to you! Attached to the collar is a little tag, giving some helpful tips of how to take care of your collar or leather materials.

I absolutely love this collar. It's become one of my favorites for my little girl, next to my Dauphine collar from Leatherbeaten. It's adorable, and the white is just perfect. I cannot even pick out my favorite part of the collar—I love every thing about it, the big ring, the width, the color, everything. It's really just an excellent collar, I cannot say more good about it.

The reason why I added the Fresh Buckle Collar to things that are similar is because it's a much "lighter," as well as cheaper, design, but similar in fashion with both width and collar style. It's a cheaper alternative to see if you like wider collars, but at a fraction of the price.
