We come from something deeper. A need to return to the essential.
To hands. To history. To raw materials that speak without shouting.
Founded by Melissa and Michael, Kitsune is the result of merging technique, intuition, and purpose. What began as a creative pursuit in Venezuela now thrives in Madrid, with roots extending through Latin America, France, and the United States. Each of our pieces is one of a kind, not by chance, but by design. We don’t produce in bulk. We craft with intention.
How We Work
— Melissa Laughlin, designer & founder —
It all starts with design: hand sketches, thoughtful material selection, testing textures, and balancing color. Then comes the physical craft: hand braiding, stone setting, metal polishing, and piece-by-piece assembly no molds, no machines.
Depending on complexity, a piece can take from hours to days to complete.
While we use digital tools to manage the business side, the craft, the eyes, the hands, the creative judgment - is fully human.
