Up to our necks in it

For those that favour simplicity over frills around the neck, we’d like to introduce The Neckachief: a unisex neck warmer, plain and simple. Invented by Australian designer Amanda Birrell, the accessory functions as an inventive alternative to the standard scarf or cravat. It’s a straightforward winter accessory that is fully lined for warmth and comfort, with buttons around the neck and décolletage to ensure it stays in place on breezy winter days. Chief Wars, an artistic initiative recently launched by Neckachief, invites budding designers and graphic enthusiasts to design their own ‘chief’ to be displayed for sale on the brand’s website, receiving all profits once sold. The extensive collection is available for sale online in a variety of patterns and colours, with fleece versions also on offer for skiers and snowboarders.
