Barbara Regna USA is born of an American dream story.
Barbara was raised in the Czech Republic by a family keen on mechanics and creativity. Barbara moved to New York City at age 17 to attend college and work as a model. She studied art history and fell in love with her husband Peter, an engineer and inventor in the automotive technology field with a focus on Formula One race car driver security and safety.
Inspired by her unique European upbringing and husband's success with innovation, she mobilized her creativity and passion for mechanics to learn from the engineers in her husband's business workshop. She made wearable art out of the found mixed media of nuts, bolts, and pipes from luxury race cars, created in designs elevated by semiprecious metals and special stones.
Excellence and innovation are values Barbara holds dear to her heart. Each piece is made in New York City by hand to reflect the respect and appreciation she has for her USA citizenship and her own American dream.
