Rare Import: Brazilian Dog Tags

By Annie Dolmatch

brazilbracelets.jpgTraditionally used to identify dead soldiers, dog-tags are making a less morbid comeback. Inspired by the blue-on-white house signs lining the streets of São Paulo, Brazil, Isabela Capeto's dog-tag necklaces are emblazoned with phrases such as "Em Construção" (Under Construction), "Try Again", and "Em Paz" (In Peace). We can't find the pieces (which retail at R$120, or about $74 US each) anywhere in the U.S. yet, so it looks like a quick jaunt to Brazil is in order. As pretty as one would be around your neck, it might make an even better G-string bikini when you get there.

Isabela Capeto's other designs are available at Barneys New York and Jeffery. For more information visit www.isabelacapeto.com.

Dear Anonymous,

We'd love a half dozen of these an a capirinha too (or one of these and a half-dozen caipirinhas - whichever).

Yours,

The Pipeline
