Cross Leather Soft Brief Case with Gold RBG Initials.She received the bib style necklace that she repurposed as a collar at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in 2012. This collar became one of Justice Ginsburg's most famous and is from clothing outfitter Banana Republic. Ginsburg wore it in the official Court photo in 2017. This collar was a gift from the New Mexico Chapter of the International Women's Forum and was presented to Ginsburg at the New Mexico Supreme Court in 2016. It came from Anthropologie and she would often wear it when delivering the majority opinion at the Court. Justice Ginsburg received this beaded collar as a gift from her law clerks in 2006. In a 2009 interview with The Washington Post, Ginsburg said, “The standard robe is made for a man because it has a place for the shirt to show, and the tie.” She and then fellow Justice Sandra Day O’Connor decided to incorporate their own style into the robes through jabots or lacy ruffles.
This white lace jabot or collar often adorned Ginsburg’s black dress robes during her time on the Supreme Court and it is the one that appears in a number of her official Supreme Court photographs (2001, 2003, 20). This robe, a lawyer’s style, was the one that she wore most often during her more than 25 years on the Court. Justice Ginsburg ordered this black robe from Maison Blanc, a French firm in Paris that specializes in legal and academic dress.
