Richard Sinnott

For Richard Sinnott, an affinity for exquisite objects was cultivated long before his ascent in the fashion world.

Raised in upstate New York, his earliest education in glamour came by way of his mother’s jewel box and the weekend thrill of unearthing overlooked treasures at local garage sales. This childhood fascination blossomed into a lifelong pursuit—a passion for provenance and design that would irrevocably shape his trajectory.

Following his studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Sinnott's discerning eye led him to Harper’s Bazaar, where he was named Accessories Director, and subsequently to Michael Kors. As the brand's Creative Director of Accessories and Footwear, he spent two decades architecting the vision of one of America’s most preeminent luxury houses, honing an unparalleled expertise in craftsmanship and the enduring power of the perfect accessory.

Hunted and Gathered

Rooted in the sartorial heart of Manhattan, Sinnott New York is the culmination of Richard’s enduring devotion to the art of the find. It operates on a simple, steadfast philosophy: the most unforgettable pieces are those that possess both breathtaking beauty and uncompromising personality. Armed with decades of industry experience and an insatiable wanderlust, Sinnott hand-selects a deeply personal array of vintage costume jewelry. The collection spans celebrated twentieth-century maisons, rare estate discoveries, and singular statement pieces chosen for their impeccable style and unmistakable presence.

A consummate collector, Richard remains endlessly on the hunt—scouring the marchés aux puces of Paris, hidden antique fairs, and the storied estate collections of New York. He is forever in pursuit of those extraordinary pieces that distill the glamour, optimism, and artistry of a bygone era.

Ultimately, every jewel in the Sinnott New York collection is chosen not merely for its historical splendor, but for its rare ability to feel as fiercely relevant today as the moment it was first conceived.
