The Story behind the Chokers
“I didn’t plan to start a business. I was just surviving”
It began with a music video for my song Misery. I needed a choker, but not a soft or basic one. More like something that screamed and sparkled at the same time. Something feral and beautiful. Something that felt like me. So I made it.
Glass rhinestones on PU leather, painted studs, a little danger but a lot of heart.
It became my favorite thing to wear and it became the piece that turned heads and had people asking me where I got it. So I decided to created the bedazzled spiked choker universe.
No Leash Please is a one-woman, Latina-owned, handmade choker shop born from chaos, creativity, and the need to express without asking permission.
Every piece is crafted by me, by hand and I think of them as wearable art. I’m not looking for mass production but true intention.
These chokers are extensions of my art, my music, my moods, my healing. And you’ll never find two exactly the same.
Making these pieces is more than a business. It’s how I regulate my nervous system. It’s how I quiet the noise of my CPTSD. It’s how I come back to myself when I feel like drifting.
Each choker is a meditation—a small rebellion covered in shine.
It’s punk and softness, together. Rage and love, holding hands.
If you’ve ever felt too much, too loud, too tender, too wild—these chokers are for you.
Right now, I will ship to the U.S.—but the vision is global, because this kind of freedom? It doesn’t belong to borders. It belongs to whoever’s ready to wear it.
No Leash Please
You were never meant to be tamed.
