About Us
Our Story
Founded in the heart of artisan tradition, orocuff emerged from a simple belief: that what we wear should carry meaning beyond mere adornment. Our journey began when founder [Founder's Name], a third-generation leather craftsman, sought to bridge the gap between ancient protective symbols and contemporary accessory design.
Each orocuff piece starts as raw, premium leather in our workshop. We honor traditional leatherworking techniques while embracing modern aesthetics, creating pieces that tell stories of protection, strength, and personal journey.
Our Philosophy
Every cut, stitch, and finish is performed with purpose. We believe the energy and attention poured into creation becomes part of the piece's story.
The ancient evil eye watches over, while crosses represent faith and grounding. Each symbol is carefully chosen for its protective heritage.
We source leather responsibly and minimize waste through thoughtful design. Our metals are selected for longevity and ethical production.
The orocuff Craft
Material Selection
Only full-grain vegetable-tanned leather makes the cut. Each hide is chosen for its unique character and aging potential.
Traditional Tooling
Using methods passed through generations, we hand-cut, bevel, and stamp each piece. No two are exactly alike.
Symbol Integration
Crosses and evil eyes are meticulously placed, each position considered for both meaning and aesthetic balance.
Aging & Patina
We employ traditional techniques to accelerate natural aging, giving each piece the character of a well-loved heirloom.
The Language of Our Symbols
✝️ The Cross
Beyond religious connotations, our crosses represent intersection points—where tradition meets innovation, where protection meets style. Each cross design is researched from historical patterns and adapted for modern wear.
👁️ The Evil Eye
An ancient protective symbol spanning Mediterranean cultures. Our nazar-inspired designs serve as modern talismans against negative energy, remixed for contemporary aesthetics while honoring traditional blue and white color symbolism.
🔗 The Leather
Representing connection and resilience. Leather ages with the wearer, developing unique patinas that tell the story of journeys undertaken while protected by our symbols.

"I don't just make accessories; I craft companions for life's journey. Each orocuff piece is designed to develop character as you do—gaining beauty through lived experience."
