Barberry and Lace: Leigh Benner

How would you describe the style of your designs?

Handmade and vintage inspired.

Where do you gain inspiration from?

Everywhere! I love finding new charms to create designs with!

What’s the first piece you ever made?

A stud earring + bobby pin set. I had someone buy it the day after I made it!

What’s the story behind the name of your line?

There’s not one. I just sat down and started writing all the words that I liked out and paired them up until I found one I loved!

What materials do you usually use?

I use a lot of clay as well as antique bronze and silver.

Where can we find your designs?

If you could dress anyone in the world who would it be?

Mila Kunis… she looks good in everything!
