Life is full of perplexing juxtapositions and random ironies. Nutrition facts at McDonald’s, braille at drive-through ATMs.
But despite the name, KittinHawk accessories are not moronic — oxy or otherwise.
The one-of-a-kind jewelry is handmade from vintage and recycled materials. Local designer Allysun Dutra derives inspiration from everything from flappers and animals to film noir and Marie Antoinette, resulting in a Victorian-meets-punk feel.
Shoulder-sweeping earrings combine spotted feathers and dangling crystals. Charm necklaces are adorned with vintage cameos. A collar combines fur and draped chains. Demure headbands — especially the number with a pale yellow bow atop a veil of netting — are part little girl, part siren.
Perfect for the sensitive kill.
Available at BellJar, 3187 16th Street, between Guerrero and Valencia Streets (415-626-1749 or belljarsf.com). For more information, go to kittinhawk.com.
