  YRS New York

  Chief Executive Officer

  With years in the making, YRS New York was inspired and created by two amazing and wonderful rascals at heart: US Army Veteran Benny Morel and Designer Yoanis Santana. Benny noticed his cousin's exquisite talent for creating beautiful pieces, and Yoanis' background in Fashion yielded an excellent opportunity for them both. With a completely handcrafted design, these pieces are truly once in a lifetime, wearable works of art. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your love and support and dedication to watching YRS New York grow and pierce beauty into both our everydayness and your most special occasions.
