Axl & B, based in Santa Monica, CA, offers signature couture leather wrist cuffs, designed and handcrafted by Claire Cole. She creates a variety of collections inspired by her travels, each with the attitude, essence and personality of the cities where materials of her locale-named collections originated. Driven to create her art through the use of discarded materials, Cole breathes new vitality and beauty into Axl &B’s truly unique pieces. Each couture cuff is handcrafted entirely from reclaimed materials: belts, earrings, broaches, cufflinks, buttons, keys, and more. While belts are the primary source of leather in Axl & B’s signature designs, occasionally a purse strap or a wallet might be used. Due to the materials used and the nature of Cole’s design ethics, all couture cuffs are limited run productions, with only two pieces per design ever existing in the world. Each Axl & B design is uniquely different, embracing and personifying individuality.
