Richard Stark was instrumental in founding CHROME HEARTS – a study in artistic freedom and persistence of vision— in 1988.

From its inception as a leather motorcycle riding-gear company, CHROME HEARTS has evolved into an obsession-inspiring label and a cultural phenomenon. Taking a design cue from its beginnings, the vast line includes handmade jewelry in sterling silver, gold, platinum and precious stones; apparel, eyewear, luggage and leather goods; and handcrafted furnishings and home items in exotic woods. With a decidedly relentless commitment to quality, almost every product is designed, manufactured and produced in small quantities to ensure absolute attention to detail at the factory in Hollywood, California.

Challenging the conventional fashion trajectory, CHROME HEARTS does not observe the imposed calendar dictating brands to unveil a new line each season. Instead, CHROME HEARTS presents new pieces as they are developed and designed – a creative process nurtured solely on the instincts of Richard and Laurie Lynn Stark alongside their oldest daughter, Jesse Jo. With family being the inimitable key that guards the CHROME HEARTS code, the company possesses a soulful authenticity impossible to mimic nor limit.
