HANDCRAFTED LEATHER JEWELRY
Elevated. Empowered. Eco-Fashion.
You’ll find influences from nature, music, Art Deco design and the mountain ranges of Wyoming where Dust & Sunshine’s creator, Kara Johnson, was raised. She thoughtfully and precisely cuts each piece by hand, using re-purposed leather and quality metals. The result is distinctive, exuberant style.
Upcycled Jewelry
Our eco-conscious mission permeates every decision at Dust & Sunshine. Breathing new life into leather of the highest quality, we salvage discarded scraps from other leather workers, including Wyoming-based handbag makers, saving them from the landfill. Utilizing scraps means access to a wide variety of textures, colors, and metallics that are handmade into fanciful, boho-chic, one-of-a-kind pieces.
“An honest tune with a lingering lead has taken me this far.”
— Driving Song
