Lelet NY

A little something straying from the norm today. I stumbled upon this gem of a brand ogling a piece worn by Emma Watson. Bringing forth Lelet NY; a luxury accessories brand focusing on baubles for the hair. Barrettes, scrunchies, hairclips, tiaras galore. If  related to hair/ head pieces they probably have created something for it. Luxury hair accessory brand,

Lelet NY is headed by Sara Bieler Sasson. Her creativity stems from her architectural background; her many pieces reflect the elegance of lines and balance of geometry in reference to the flowing nature of hair.

Pieces range in price depending on style and size. Sasson uses Swarovski crystals in conjunction with mixed metals to create pieces that accentuate everyday looks or bridal parties.

A few of her star studded/ inspired pieces remind me of a recent trip to Vienna this year. In Vienna’s Sisi Museum which showcases the life of Austria’s beloved Empress Elisabeth ‘SiSi’ Amalie Eugenie, the museum described in great detail the beauty of this young reclusive empress. Among her many qualities (porcelain skin, red lips, athletic physique etc), her hair was emphasized to have been worthy of noting. The empress had long, cascading, thick, luxurious black hair that was worn well past her knees.
I distinctly remember seeing portraits of the empress and placards next to a display case with ‘Sisi’s Stars‘. These stars were crafted for Sisi by Kochert, the imperial court jeweler. Each star was 10 pointed diamond gilded with a single large pearl in the center. Sisi started quite the trend back in the day, enough so that it still lingers today!

I most definitely see the resemblance to historical royal jewels. None the less, Lelet NY takes the cake for tasteful, elegant, and well crafted hair accessories.
