Classic, redefined
THE JEWELRY AND LEATHER GOODS MADE BY LIV & B ARE COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO WEAR
EVERYDAY AND STYLISH ENOUGH TO TRANSITION INTO A NIGHT ON THE TOWN.T
here are great
bags and jewelry,
and then there
are great bags andjewelry. The items made by
Liv & B, an accessories compa-
ny based in Highlands Ranch,
fall squarely into the second
category. Each bracelet, ring,
necklace, bag, and pair of ear-
rings is handmade by founder
Angela Martin using ethically
sourced, soft-as-butter leather
(which Martin handpicks for
its uniqueness), gemstones
(including aquamarine, agate,
moonstones, and labradorite),
and mixed metals, including
pure silver, sterling silver, and
gold fill.
Best of all, the pieces, which
she often names after favorite
customers, are easy to wear.
“Classic redefined” is how
Martin describes her pieces.
“They are similar to classic
pieces, but we try to have a
different edge,” and they look
great when layered.
Martin (above left with a
friend) started the company 15years ago while living in Alas-
ka and has been working at
it on and off while raising her
two kids, Alivia and Brennan,
for whom the company is
named. Working in her home
studio, she encourages cus-
tomers to come experience her
process and do a little shop-ping. “I love to get to know a
person and design one-of-a-
kind pieces for them.”
Martin, who in February
showed off her wares at the
pre-Oscars celebrity gifting
lounge at the W hotel in Bev-
erly Hills, has just introduced
a hand-dyed tote bag and will
soon come out with a cross-
body bag. “To me, jewelry
and leather goods are not just
accessories; they put a smile
on your face and help you get
through the day.” DLMSHARONLEWISLIV & B
