These designer pieces feature a padlock hung from a black leather chain. Perfect for those looking for an [edgier look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikimoto-x-chrome-hearts), this necklace arrives with the brand's text logo etched on the bottom, seamlessly showing off one's high-end aesthetic. There are four colorways available including gold, silver, neon orange and black, offering something for anyone's aesthetic. To make matters even more appealing, these exclusive items can only be purchased at the [AMBUSH WORKSHOP](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avalanche), which can be found in PARCO, a Japanese department store.
