Second-generation silversmith #ImogenLehtonen was a far cry from your typical daddy’s girl. A free-spirited New Zealand tomboy, she grew up barefoot and wild, throwing handmade knives in the backyard with her father. She learned to #ride during Florida vacations on quads, swamp buggies, and old Honda dirt bikes.
⠀⠀
Where Dad went, she went - fascinated by his livelihood as a silversmith and mechanic and hellbent on absorbing his wisdom and doing him proud. As a teen, Imogen hitched rides to class on the back of his #motorcycle, developing a yen for the rumble of a bike and the roar of #freedom it empowers.
⠀⠀
Imogen was, quite literally, born into the family’s jewelry business. Sixteen years after her aunt and uncle founded the epic rock 'n' roll jewelry company #TheGreatFrog in London, Imogen came into the world early one morning in an apartment above the Carnaby Street storefront, surrounded by extended family who lived and worked there together. And she now runs the company's outpost in Los Angeles.
