Coco Collection

Earrings are my passion, and I dedicate all the time I spend doing my earrings full of joy and happiness. I love the process from the first moment until the last one. I show you how is normally the process of making a pair of earrings.

This Coco Collection is inspired in the passion my little one has for cars: We see plenty of them during the day on the street, in his books, his toys. The cars of my collection have this childish look with a bit of humor added by the imagines of comics.

Firstly I have to design the car, how will it look like. After I design on paper, I pass it to carton which will make it easier to cut of the shape over the leather (I only use 100% leather of the best quality).

I have leather of different colors and textures, plenty of fabrics also to mix up... So I look at all of them and mix up as I like the most. Once I decide what goes where and how, I just start to put all the pieces together and.... Voilà the first car is done!!! 

The second one comes just a bit more faster. I just need to add the silver rings and the hook and the earring is done!!! This particular model has a denim button to add a bit of extra texture and because I think it looks cool!!! And the last bit, my logo in leather attached to the right earring (AD) and earrings are done and ready to be shown around!!!

1. Model done in paper, now we have to cut it
2. Model and different parts over hard paper

3. Messing around cutting, drawing and sticking
4. All the pieces are around, nearly done one car
5. Cutting out the car from the leather


The second one comes just a bit more faster. I just need to add the silver rings and the hook and the earring is done!!! This particular model has a denim button to add a bit of extra texture and because I think it looks cool!!! And the last bit, my logo in leather attached to the right earring (AD) and earrings are done and ready to be shown around!!!
6. Both cars already done, missing to punch the hole and attach to the silver clip
