Chrome Hearts is a luxury label LA based brand established in the 80’s cultivating an entire biker-inspired lifestyle with premium quality leather, sunglasses, jewelry, and home goods over three decades. Established in 1988 by Richard Stark and leather manufacturer John Bowman in a Los Angeles garage. Stark and Bowman because they couldn’t find leather jackets on the market that they wanted to wear, so they started to make their own. Sterling silver jeweler Leonard Kamhout joined the operation shortly after. The first big exposure for the brand came from legendary punk rock band, the Sex Pistols.
