For Couture 2025, Marie Lichtenberg dived headfirst into American pop culture and reinvented another iconic — and unapologetically cool —piece of Americana. Meet the high jewelry bandana. A cowboy scarf turned haute masterpiece, created in a world where cultural memory meets high craft, and everyday icons are anything but. Elevating the ordinary to become extraordinary, the bandana becomes a couture statement infused with intention. Wrapped around the throat like a necklace, worn as a talisman, this is far more than your average accessory.
In Marie Lichtenberg’s most technically advanced piece yet, supple, buttery suede meets 18kt gold and natural gemstones to create a neckpiece that channels all the Southern charm of the rodeo — with Parisian finesse.
Harnessing luxury artisanship, the bandana is entirely hand-embroidered with gold, diamond, and ruby motifs, and fastened with a pierced gold bead and pearl chain. Precious stones aren’t just set — they’re embroidered, delicately worked into the leather using a rare blend of Italian mastery and specialist French leather expertise. The details matter, especially when we’re talking high craftsmanship :
• 280 hours of Italian craftsmanship • 386 hand-sculpted gold elements • Approximately 280 grams of 18k gold • 3.09 carats of glittering diamonds • 17.68 carats of fiery rubies European high luxury meets Far West flair, in a spectacular hybrid jewel that represents a new dawn for Marie Lichtenberg.
This piece is available in pre-order only, the production lead time being 2 months.
