FAUX/real (New York) are Louis and Mari (capricorn and scorpio, respectively), self-taught accessories designers. Each collection is based on a personal, narrative theme, but is grounded in the pursuit of practical thrills. Unexpected materials transformed into pieces with real humor and surprising grace.

Though normally wary of jewelry with instructions, this clip is recommended viewing for its simple, tutorial charm.
