LEATHER BODY JEWELRY

An Artistic Fusion of Clothes and Jewelry

Before starting her own business, Sam Séveine, a former designer for women's labels in Paris, found herself missing the handmade aspect of her work. Inspired by her love for leather and her fascination with architecture and art sculpture, Séveine embarked on a journey to create unique pieces that blur the line between clothes and jewelry. The result is her stunning collection of Leather Body Jewelry.

This collection is a true fashion art, a fusion of clothes and jewelry that adds personality and character to any look. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted using leather and metal, transforming a simple outfit into a trendy and edgy ensemble. Séveine refers to her creations as "style signatures," as they serve as unique and distinctive accessories that make a fashion statement.

The Leather Body Jewelry is made using a combination of real and faux leather, along with golden and silvered metal chains. Each leather piece is carefully cut and adjusted by hand, then sewn together directly on a bust model to ensure a perfect fit. The height of the jewelry ranges from 30 to 40 cms, while the width is designed to be adjustable for all sizes. The armholes are generously sized to accommodate both small and larger frames.

Creating these pieces presented several challenges for Séveine. The first was finding the right quality and thickness of leather that could be worn as clothing. The leather needed to be malleable, easy to cut, and puncture-resistant. Additionally, it had to be the right thickness to complement the metal chains used in the designs. The choice of materials was crucial, as the leather and metal chains needed to create a contrast in tones. Shiny leather is paired with matte and dark chains, while matte leather is paired with shiny chains.

The Leather Body Jewelry collection has garnered attention and recognition for its unique and innovative design. In 2013, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. This prestigious award recognizes well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Leather Body Jewelry collection stood out for its integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its ability to evoke positive emotions and contribute to a better world.

Sam Séveine's Leather Body Jewelry is not just an accessory; it is a wearable work of art. Each piece in this collection showcases Séveine's passion for craftsmanship, her love for leather, and her ability to create pieces that bridge the gap between fashion and sculpture. Whether worn with a casual outfit or a formal ensemble, these unique accessories are sure to make a statement and add a touch of artistic flair to any look.
