FROM OUR ARTIST + ACTIVIST COLLECTION

For the ageless and wise, the mantra of artist Beatrix Ost. 

 "in your body is a good place to be"

 

Style icon Beatrix Ost arrived in New York in 1975 and was swiftly discovered by the New York Times as one of the city’s most elegant fusions of art and fashion but that's not all there is to her story.

Skin cancer left a Z-shaped scar on her forehead. Embracing this personal horror, Beatrix turned it into beauty by tattooing it light purple. It was this concept of transformation that led us to create our first mantra bangles : "in your body is a good place to be." Beatrix has been an ARTICLE22 collaborator ever since. Born in Germany ,she lives between NewYork and Charlottsville which she considers her main home today.

Since2015, artist and fashion muse Beatrix Ost has brought vision to ARTICLE22. With a shared ethos, Beatrix was inspired by the transformation story behind PEACEBOMB jewelry

Each piece gives back to support traditional Laotian artisan livelihoods, village development, community endeavors and further de-mining efforts.

Your purchase contributes to MAG (Mines Advisory Group) to safely & expertly clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs contaminating land in Laos.

$180 clears 11m2 of Laotian landscape
