Michal Negrin has been creating Victorian inspired whimsical designs in jewelry, home décor and clothing for more than two decades. Born in kibbutz Naan in 1957, surrounded by a strong sense of community, Michal always felt she was an individual with her own vision and drive to follow her inner passion for self-expression. In 1984 Michal married Meir Negrin, and their relationship developed both personally and professionally, serving as the spark that set the foundation for the Michal Negrin brand. In 1988 the couple launched their first collection at Tel Aviv’s famed open-air marketplace, a breeding ground for emerging design talent. Soon afterwards, the couple opened their first small shop in the fashionable shopping district of Sheinkin. Designed to convey a familial, residential atmosphere, it is this cozy shop that has served as the international inspiration and model for the brand’s subsequent locations.
Inspired by mixing the old and the new and color combinations, Michal Negrin personally designs every piece of jewelry, home décor and clothing that carries her name. She uses a variety of techniques to craft her pieces and believes in blending styles, schools, designs and colors to create her unique neo-Victorian and vintage style.
