Chrome Hearts

Chrome Hearts is a high end brand that sits right between luxury and streetwear.Chrome Hearts specializes in silver jewelry, leather goods and readymade clothing. The brand stems from Hollywood, CA and was founded by Richard Stark in 1988. Chrome Hearts operates by appointment only in most locations, with zero e-commerce representation. The brand’s exclusive shopping experience as well as limited production runs have caught attention of celebrities such as Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yatchy, Jay Z, Kylie Jenner, Offset, Quavo, Bella Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Virgil Abloh, Motley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, and many others.

Chrome Hearts was founded by Richard Stark, Leonard Kamhout, and John Baumann. The brand emerged in 1988 out of Hollywood, California. The Stark family is the controlling force of the brand image, and Frankie Stark (@frankiebstark), Laurie Stark (@laurielynnstark), Kristian Stark (@kristianjstark), and Jesse Stark (@jessejostark) promote the brand on social media. Adding to the brand image is designer Matt DiGiacomo (@mattyboy90) who has created the immensely popular ‘Matty Boy’ line of Chrome Hearts clothing.

The Chrome Hearts logo includes the brand name, circular ribbon, and a cross. This has become a symbol of status and luxury. As the designers come from diverse backgrounds, the symbol stands apart from messages of religion and ethnicity to tell the story of the brand alone.

Because celebrity influence as well as limited production and release quantities makes many Chrome Hearts products extremely hard to acquire, prices of products match limited quantities. Items quickly sell out from Chrome Hearts stores and are available at higher resale prices.Bullseye offers increased access to Chrome Hearts products at fair prices.

Driving up prices, Chrome Hearts jeans are iterations of denim that are meticulously revamped and redesigned with leather accents. Most notably the Chrome Hearts cross logo is added to a Levi or Chrome Hearts base design, sometimes complemented by other leather accents. The infamous cross logo Chrome Hearts denim has been seen on celebrities such as Kylie Jenner and Lil Uzi Vert.
