King Baby Studio
In the 1970's, when Mitchell Binder, designer and owner of King
Baby Studio was a teenager, he and his mother moved from Jackson,
Mississippi to Los Angeles. It was when music reflected a new
spirit of idealism, and new found freedoms. Musical artists like
Hendrix, Joplin and The Dead ruled the airwaves. As Mitchell puts
it "it was the 'summer of love' and my mind was officially
blown".
At 15, Mitchell 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."
Designing with men in mind, he soon realized many women were
buying for themselves. In 2007, King Baby Studio officially
launched Queen Baby for women, with extraordinary success.
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".
Available in Denver, Phoenix and Las Vegas store locations.
