“Blue Bayer understands the role and importance of the artisan in our era. His work is like a kaleidoscopic journey through the landfill of classic Americana. The pieces in his collection seem as if they could have been excavated from any decade of the last century. They are powerful in their simplicity, combining grace and kinetic energy with a stage presence that makes them the perfect conversation piece, yet impossible to describe.”  Leo Herrera, 2010

Blue is an artist whose roots in underground consumer culture and decades of experience as a street vendor across the country, fostered a merchant philosophy based on original work, quality and customer service at the most direct level.  

Through a year of experimentation, he created his first jewelry line. He began selling them in the streets of NYC and the reception was overwhelming. Soon, Blue was forced to scale down his street vending, and he began concentrating on pieces for a select number of collectors. 

In 2008, feeling limited, Blue decided to expand. The goal was to keep the originality of his previous collection, while providing to a wider score of people.

The first collection, inspired by wildlife, was launched in December of 2008. In spite of the economical recession, or perhaps because of it, Blue Bayer experienced an inspiring trajectory in a very short time. As consumers realized the true value of their dollar, the originality and affordability of his pieces held a special resonance to performers, fashion editors and consumers of every genre.

Having had some lucky breaks with press in major fashion magazines Blue signed on with Raw Information. This tightly curated press showroom in New York’s fashion district has begun to develop Blue Bayer Design as a brand with placement in Vogue Homme , Nylon and a host of fashion publications.

Now Blue has once again decided to expand, and Donar’s Oak will be showcasing many of his fine pieces.
