The PICHULIK team is a pan-African group of spirited women who create everything by hand in our atelier located at 8 Watson Street, in the heart of Cape Town's CBD, just off of iconic Bree street.
PICHULIK employs women, collaborates with women, and outsources to local women-owned small businesses to promote job creation and economic activity in local communities, and champion and augment women earning capacity.
Led by Founder and Creative Director, Katherine-Mary Pichulik, and Commercial Director, Tracey Chiappini-Young, every jewellery piece is made by a single artist, from start to finish mastering a selection of crafting and embellishing skills. Designed out of rope and found materials, this ornamentation is inspired by Africa and adventures to exotic places.
