YOKO ENDO - kristen aronsson

Designer: Kristen Aronsson

Kristen has been living and working in Brooklyn for over 10 years. Originally from Massachusetts, she spent her teenage years in Arizona, then made NYC home in 1996.

After completing her masters of Industrial Design at Pratt Institute in 1999, she has worked professionally in many facets of the design world including: eyewear design, home accessories, retail interiors, furniture design and brand strategy. Her passion for functional objects and enchantment with fashion find the perfect muse in accessories design.

Kristen’s designs combine luscious textural materials with a flash of glamour to create accessories with an urbane, sculptural aesthetic. With a focus on practicality and simplicity, the pieces are always lightweight and easy-to-wear, never over-adorned or clunky. Shapes are bold and striking with subtle hidden details that emerge upon closer inspection. The designs are developed for everyday use and top quality Italian leathers provide rich textures that age beautifully. Kristen is also proud to support the local industry and each piece is hand-crafted in the garment district of NYC.

Fashion-forward and sophisticated but not overpowering, each of Kristen’s accessories function seamlessly and look fabulous!
