Alençon lace is sometimes called the “Queen of Lace” and was popular in the 16th century . Free Maison’s Alençon Harness reimagines this delicate needle‑lace tradition in chainmail form. The harness follows a classic bulldog‑style shape but is crafted entirely from anodized aluminum rings . The result is a piece that looks like lace yet offers the strength and durability of metal.

This statement harness weighs 12 oz and measures 19 × 10 inches . Approximately 2,200 rings are hand‑woven into its lace‑like pattern, requiring 15 hours of meticulous work per piece . Adjustable shoulder width and chest circumference options ensure a custom fit , while finish options include shiny perfume, shiny mulberry, shiny silver and shiny gold .

Production is capped at 20 pieces , and the anodization process may create slight color variations . Each harness is handcrafted in the New York City area from anodized aluminum that resists rust and maintains its color.
