Pepper spray is cumbersome, not to mention the more assertive members of the self-defense family. Yet, there are few city-dwellers who haven’t, at some point felt threatened. The Last Resort pepper spray necklace is made of spent bullet casings, turning the symbol of violence into a means of empowerment. The spray contained inside of each Last Resort is a unique signature color to tag attackers, and give a signature marking for authorities to track. The signature fashion symbol of Last Resort is the unified first line of defense.
