# Feather Collars Peacock Shrug Adds Avian Accents to Your Apparel By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-06-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feather-collars References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5610985) My jaw dropped when I saw these feather collars from [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) artisan TheMoonMaiden. We’ve seen plenty of [avian apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/credor-goldfeather-tourbillon-gbcf999) and peacock fashion, but this collar lets you bring bird influences into any outfit. TheMoonMaiden makes each of these [feather collars by hand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown) with real feathers. The stunning shrug in the lead image is made of peacock and royal blue feathers. Each feather collar is attached to a ribbon that ties in the back just underneath your shoulder blades to secure the collar. These feather collars would be a great way to dress up a basic black sweater or tube dress.
