I have a great passion for spinning tales. Let us now envision Boho Punk (adj) This bold style is a mixture of the intense, rust-aged textures of industrial style with the soft gypsy wildness of bohemian sensibilities. It has all the audaciousness of handcrafted metal skulls, rich patinas, macabre imagery on dark lush leather juxtaposed against the warmth of earthy-inspired botanical castings and vibrant stones. There is something terrifically savage about this modern vintage mix-match made in heaven.

For a moment, take a journey inside my creative process. Imagine a hint of the 19th and 20th Century, industrial print presses, a slice of late Victorian romance and mysticism, a glimmer of Art Deco, old New York ingenuity. Envision early 1900's traveling fairs and carnivals, the smell of candles and wax seals, burlap and old barn wood, sepia toned coffee stains on yellowed ledger pages, skeleton keys atop railroad car blueprints, the sound of an old typewriter hitting onion skin paper.  I invite you to envision yourself experiencing all of these things - and find you lot inspired by them in all that you do. The accessories I create are intended to be thought about, talked about, to have their stories told, they are made to go beyond just design.

LuckyGirl Eleven Modern Vintage products are handmade using collected antique pieces, vintage hardware, and unique modern elements with attitude. My hand crafted bags, leather products and one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces all have their own story to tell, a sense of mystery, an element of intrigue.

We strongly believe that it is through our senses that our imagination flourishes.  Whether you breathe in scent that transports your mind or envision a slice of history with one of our handmade designs, LuckyGirl Eleven is for all with a deep appreciation for details and a strong sense of curiosity…it is handmade specifically with you in mind.

I am a lucid dreamer; vivid dreams in rust filled urban industrial meccas, filled with textures, rich with details, and warm earthy colors against abandoned and overgrown brutalist urban backdrops. They stay with me and become a part of me. I draw a great deal of my inspiration from my dream life. My creativity pulsates within my subconscious; sitting at my workbench is extraordinarily transcendental. My hands are magic makers pulling ideas from a dream flow conjuring a sentient feeling of a surreal place that feels like a memory. Jewelry is a huge source of empowerment for me. Any adornment you wear should do that; it should embolden you and take your breath away. That is what good jewelry is all about; it is a way of storytelling. Everything created at LuckyGirl Eleven is experiential art, choosing the right piece is simply a matter of finding what speaks to your heart and tells you a story.
