# Feathers of Leather Fanciful Accessories by Anne Holm Alexandersen By Elsa Blaine | Published 2010-07-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anne-Holm-Alexandersen References: [thetrendygirl.net](http://www.thetrendygirl.net/2010/07/les-accessoires-danne-holm-alexandersen.html/accessoires-cuir) & [anneholmalexandersen](http://www.anneholmalexandersen.com/Anne_Holm/ANNE.html) Leather accessories by the Norwegian designer Anne Holm Alexandersen are pure flights of fancy. Her intricate [handmade collars and ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece) are created from small [feather-shaped bits of leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers) which are then attached together to replicate wings. Her pieces include collar-styled necklaces, [hair pins, brooches and earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clementine-grove). The fantastic black leather collar in the first image is my favorite; I love the strands of knotted leather dangling from the back closure.
