UNA BURKE Vertical Cuff Bracelet Black

Úna Burke is a multi-award-winning luxury leather designer and artist in many countries worldwide. Úna Burke Leather is designed for the discerning client who values quality, heritage, and creativity. Úna Burke celebrates the strength and resilience of the human spirit. The bold aesthetic of her creations is representative of the warrior within each of us, fighting against the challenges that life throws at us.

With the crafts of leatherworking and sewing passed down through five generations in the designer's family, it's no wonder that each item is crafted using traditional hand tools, some of which have also been passed down through generations. Durability is central to the creative process, from material selection, design aesthetics, and even packaging. These pieces of art are created to last so that you can pass them down to future generations.

Her collections are timeless, elegant, thoughtful, sculptural, and sustainable. Her creations are regularly worn by icons such as Daphne Guinness, Janet Jackson, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga, among others, and are also commissioned for blockbuster films like Hunger Games, and TV series like Star Trek Discovery...

This Vertical cuff bracelet by Una Burke in black leather is a rock chic piece that will add a bondage touch to any outfit. It has a structured and trendy aesthetic. The vegetable-tanned cowhide leather, gold-plated solid brass fittings, and brass screws at the back make it a true piece of art.

Size, Composition & Care
One size for women: adjustable from 17 to 20 cm

Composition: Everything is entirely handmade by the designer Úna Burke in her workshop in Ireland, using full-grain British and Italian vegetable-tanned cowhide leather and gold-plated solid brass. Vegetable tanning is a more environmentally friendly leather production method, and for this reason, among others, the brand received the Positive Luxury Butterfly Trust Mark: "When a brand successfully completes our assessment process, it receives the Butterfly Mark, which visibly authenticates luxury brands that contribute to a better world."

Care instructions: Do not overexpose to sunlight and avoid contact with moisture, especially water, creams, food, oils, and perfumes. As this item is made from a natural material, variations in color and surface are unique characteristics and not a defect. It is expected that the texture and tone of the leather will change with age and use.

Úna Burke creations come with their protective tote bag.

Una Burke is sold exclusively in luxury boutiques and art galleries, selected for their exclusivity. This piece is entirely handmade specifically to order at the request of Brigade Mondaine.

About the designer Una Burke

Úna established her eponymous brand in 2010 in London, creating both seasonal fashion collections (harnesses, bags, skirts, bracelets...) and sculptural artworks using her traditional leatherworking techniques in her distinctly intricate constructions.

Since 2020, she has been working from her native Ireland. The fashion collections have continued to be concept-based, with human stories at their core. The influence comes from psychological, military, and medical sources as a physical reference to the warrior spirit that resides within each of us. The Artworks are figurative in form and draw from this same source of inspiration.

They are developed on commission for private art collections, public exhibitions, and museum archives. Úna's work has been exhibited in over twenty countries worldwide, and her clients and collectors include New York designer Phillip Lim, the Simone Handbag Museum in Seoul, the National Museum of Ireland, and Nick Knight's creative laboratory "SHOWstudio."

While studying for her Master's in Fashion Artefact at Cordwainers, London College of Fashion, she produced her iconic "Wearable Art" collection, RE.TREAT, and won the Design Award for Best Static Collection.

Úna's work has been exhibited in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the USA and regularly appears in publications such as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Collezioni, and Numero.
