Vintage Rafael Sanchez
After launching his business in New York City in 1977, his first jewelry collection was featured at Henri Bendel’s famed accessory showcase, quickly followed by SAKS, Bergdorf Goodman, and Bloomingdale’s. Soon afterwards, VOGUE hailed him as an “innovative and creative talent” due to his pieces designed with natural fibers and organic materials, which pointed the way to a new direction in the market . Rafael Sanchez’s accessories have been featured in a number of publications, including NEW YORK MAGAZINE, OVATION, STUDIO INTERNATIONAL, and WHERE, among others. Recognizing his inroads in the field, the Atlanta Apparel Market named him a Grand Designer in Accessories. His work is included in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
