Papa & K’s brand of belts, cuffs, and necklaces—each hand-painted,
fingerprint-unique—began with a flip through family photos. A few years
ago, Kamea Bitton was at her parents’ home, sifting through an old album when
she came across a snapshot of a woman wearing hip, hippie belts. “My
dad confessed that she was his girlfriend at the time,” says Kamea,
“and that the belts were his creation—and a very successful business.” Soon Papa & K took flight and is quickly gaining recognition throughout the fashion world with their unique designs and one-of-a-kind creations.
