ABOUT:
Jan Barboglio is a Latino-owned brand. Inspired by the romance of historic Mexico, she creates decorative iron accessories. Every piece is cut, fashioned, forged, and finished by hand. Her line is sold at Neiman's, other high-end retailers and on her own website.
BACKGROUND:
After many years designing clothing with her sister with their 'Barboglio Cristina and Jan Collection,' Jan began sculpting accessories and furniture for her own home. Her childhood, spent in north central Mexico, would prove to be fertile ground for inspiration, and every object created by her would carry with it the rich history and romance of old Mexico.
Barboglio’s initial designs of wax grabbers were for her silver, bronze and iron candelabra. Altar pieces and house blessing crosses were integrated into her own home furnishings. Her love of entertainment would later result in her own iron chargers, platters and chafing dishes. Leather goods and saddle stools began to fill her home. All of these influences are evident in her Jan Barboglio Collection of today.
