The main material of Ralph's collar is lace. In order to achieve a greater effect than the face, three to four meters of cloth is needed. Lace was a luxury ornament in the Middle Ages. Because there is no machine, it can only be sewn by hand, so the more complicated and longer the pattern, the higher the value. Lace has always been the darling of the nobility. If you look closely at the portraits of medieval aristocrats, they should deliberately reveal the lace they are wearing to show their rich family background and noble status. So lace is the representative of aristocratic status.
Who is Ralph's collar? Lace culture? Therefore, people are not satisfied with ordinary lace collars. After all, it's too young to stand out from the crowd, so I began to try my best to stand out from the crowd? Hey? . So a circle of lace collar has become two, three or even n circles, and whoever is less will lose face. Even in the later stage, because it is too big, it has to be fixed under the collar with wire. But for nobles, as long as they can show off that their tailors are more skilled than those of other families, no matter how big Ralph's collar is.

After the trend led by Ralph was formed among the nobles, how could the king of big noble be willing to lag behind? What's more, the most powerful French court at that time was always at the forefront of fashion and art, so from Henry II onwards, French kings wore ruffled collars for a hundred years, and the queen was no exception. The French lotus leaf collar system was brought back to China by other nobles, and other European royal families began to wear lotus leaf collars, thus forming a scene of the whole European upper class. Everyone raised his chin slightly and admired the world, although it seemed strange and ridiculous to us.
