Treasure Hunt

Vinca Leather Jewelry

You have an eye for finding cheap and chic baubles.

But every time you step out in a new necklace, Courtney von Copycat shows up the next day wearing the exact same one.

Time to accessorize apart from the pack with Vinca. The Austin label’s edgy cuffs, necklaces, and earrings are all made by hand.

Precision cuts of colorful leathers are layered on top of each other to create daisies, leaves, and feathery wings. Each piece is finished with a simple touch like sterling silver grommets or a single Swarovski crystal. Best part: Everything is just $25 to $100 a pop.

So when you-know-whom asks where you got it, tell her to find her own look.

Not to be catty.
