Hello!

The short and sweet: I grew up having -and still have- what most of my friends call an "unhealthy obsession" for all things clothing/fashion/styling related. You could blame my mother for sure, but I definitely thank her. Now I have a shop where I hope to spread my love of great vintage finds, along with my other love of beautiful handmade goods, to others... outside of my friend circle.

I was a fashion stylist/installer for several years. It was a great career, being two things I'm very passionate about, but I didn't exactly have the extra funds to create most of my visions in my free time. To speed this along, it was the scariest/happiest day when I was laid off from my "mehhh" job. I'm fortunate enough to now be able to focus my energy on just being a full-time MBA student (fashion major undergrad being all smarty pants and puzzling others haha!) AND jewelry designer. -Oh! I also made the move from NYC back home to Detroit- School takes priority, but creating keeps me sane. Creating pieces I would actually wear keeps a smile on my face... and to be completely cheesy, hopefully on yours too!

My leather earrings and leather necklaces are made from leather scraps. The intention with the jewelry I create is to keep the pieces "as is" as possible. Meaning, I try to preserve the uniqueness of how leather was sent to me by making very few cuts. Some pieces (typically earrings with more symmetry) have more cuts made than others, depending on the style. All cuts are hand done by me, so all pieces are actually unique one offs and are not mass produce-able.

Hope you enjoy my store. It's small now, but there's so many beautiful things to come.
