Founded in Los Angeles in 1988 by Richard Stark, Laurie Lynn Stark, and John Bowman, Chrome Hearts began as a handmade leather and sterling silver operation serving bikers and rock musicians. Still made in-house in Hollywood, it is known for heavy .925 silver hardware, gothic crosses, the dagger and fleur-de-lis motifs, and tightly limited runs. Luxury with a rock and roll edge, and a cult following across music, fashion, and collector circles.
