Chrome Hearts began as a small leather goods store in Los Angeles, focusing on creating handcrafted leather jackets, bags, and accessories. Richard Stark’s vision was to combine high-quality materials with bold designs, drawing inspiration from rock and roll, punk culture, and the biker community. The brand quickly gained a reputation for its unique aesthetic, which features intricate detailing, gothic motifs, and an overall edgy vibe. The name “Chrome Hearts” itself reflects the brand’s identity, symbolizing strength and passion in its designs. As the brand evolved, it expanded into a full-fledged fashion line, including clothing, jewelry, and home goods, all while maintaining its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
