A Way of Life, Since 1988

Founded in 1988 in Los Angeles​ by Richard Stark, Chrome Hearts is more than a brand — it’s a way of life. Built on a foundation of craftsmanship, individuality, and unapologetic attitude, Chrome Hearts fuses the worlds of luxury design, rock ‘n’ roll, and artisan tradition.

From a Small Workshop to a Global Design House

What began as a small workshop creating custom leather motorcycle gear has evolved into a globally recognized design house. Every Chrome Hearts piece — from handcrafted sterling silver jewelry to leather apparel, furniture, eyewear, and home goods — reflects a deep commitment to artistry and authenticity.

Made by Hand in Los Angeles

Each creation is made by hand in our Los Angeles workshops, where traditional silversmithing, leatherworking, and woodcraft techniques meet a rebellious creative spirit.
Chrome Hearts isn’t about trends; it’s about legacy​ — pieces made to be lived in, worn out, and passed down.

Our Commitment

Driven by collaboration, creativity, and an unrelenting pursuit of quality, Chrome Hearts stands as a testament to American craftsmanship and an icon of independent design.
