Stylish Stingray


This line Leighelena, from Austin, Texas is one of my newest obsessions. A few months ago I found one of these cuffs at a friend's house and immediately attempted to steal it. I'm a big fan of stingray, I love it's unique texture-it's a very tactile leather. She also does a thinner double-wrap version which I love and think is a bit funkier. The designer, Leigh Navarro makes her entire enamel line by hand, and these cool pendants come in two lengths. I love the idea of doing several of them at once, similar to how they're displayed here. She also adds a little signature vintage postage stamp on each piece, a tradition she began to honor her grandfather who started a stamp collection for her as a child. Leigh has recently opened a store in Austin, and is being carried in numerous boutiques. 

You can visit the store in Austin:
