Who started Chrome Hearts?

1 Answer
Who started Chrome Hearts?
Richard Stark, Leonard Kamhout and John Bowman started Chrome Hearts. When the brand launched in 1988, Stark and Bowman worked out of a garage, producing leather goods out of high-quality materials. The company soon expanded into jewelry, and Kamhout, a master sterling silver jeweler, came onboard. The trio continued to work together until 1994, when Kamhout and Bowman exited the company.
