Micha Kuechenhoff Born in Germany, Micha Kuechenhoff, made her move from Berlin to California 15 years ago where she opened and owned a professional organizing business before she started designing jewelry full time. Day in and day out she cleaned out the clutter in other peoples houses. Once when a client planned to throw out old jewelry Micha took it home instead and started playing around with it.She got so many compliments on the necklace she created that she worked on other pieces for gifts and presents. Micha began to design her signature look:“knots that tie non-traditional and vintage materials into fashion which equate the fresh and original pieces”. Micha’s “Go Green” state of mind leads her to use recycled and vintage materials and her fetish for using offbeat materials such as leather, feathers, lace, door knockers, brooches, fabric roses, scrabble pieces, doilies(…you name it)makes the Micha Design collection quite distinctive, yet each piece is so definitively different that it’s near impossible to pick just one. Each piece is handmade and a one of a kind ;she does not work from a sketch; she allows the creations to develop organically, draping her materials over a mannequin.Her mission is to show that you do not have to compromise beauty to “go green” Micha’s designs can make anyone feel like the life of the party. From simple to intricate, each necklace has its own personality and feeling, only adding to the idea that they are “conversational pieces”. <img src='http://static1.shopify.com/s/files/1/0019/1902/files/resize-micha_press.jpg' alt='' /> <p>Born in Germany, Micha Kuechenhoff, made her move from Berlin to California 15 years ago where she opened and owned a professional organizing business before she started designing jewelry full time.<br /> Day in and day out she cleaned out the clutter in other peoples houses.
