At 15, Mitchell Binder became a jeweler’s apprentice and shortly thereafter began designing on his own. With his trademark, charismatic personality, he soon made the right contacts and quickly became the ‘go to jeweler’ for both Hollywood and rock stars. His fans ran the gamut from Liz Taylor to the rock & roll royalty of the era. The biker crowd soon caught on, requesting personalized jewelry and buckles. Being an avid biker himself, Mitchell has always considered the origin of his company “half rock & roll and half outlaw biker.”
Santa Monica based, King Baby Studio offers handcrafted pieces that unite chunky sterling silver with precious stones and leather. Mitchell’s creations are bold and substantial, featuring edgy motifs such as skulls and daggers for the King Baby line, and slightly scaled down feminine motifs such as roses and crowned hearts for the Queen Baby’s out there. Many styles span both collections appealing to that ever expanding “chosen few”.
