"Since I was little I have always had a passion for travel, design, beautiful things and business. After high school I went to live in Australia and before starting university I visited different parts of the world. In Asia and in South America I discovered beautiful jewels and clothes and that's how I decided to start my business, thinking about my own personal line of accessories. I started with very little in Berlin, I had my ideas and my color schemes, and it was really all that was needed at the time to make jewelery in natural materials, with a production mainly in wood, bold and colourful. I met my first clients in the markets of Berlin and at festivals in Germany, where I proposed in a completely informal way the my accessories. After a few years, together with my life and work partner, Luigi, I decided to open a shop in Italy, in a beautiful city in Salento, Lecce. If you have never seen it, I recommend you plan your next trip! Here the sea is turquoise, clear and wonderful, the people are so friendly and hospitable, the wine and food are exceptional and then there are fascinating places, cities and towns to discover. It excites me to create ever new collections, to mix inputs that come from my everyday life or from the taste and inspirations that arise from the team's ideas or even from contact with those who choose us. From the beginning I have never neglected the well-being of our suppliers, and it will always be the most important thing for us, because it is the thing that makes us feel better. All our employees are part of our family, a big family, the Bijondo family. In this small but great family, Frida arrived in 2018 and Emma in 2021, our beautiful little girls, who have made our life even more beautiful. We have several dreams for the future, continuing to work with those who have contributed to our growth and producing everything according to the principles of eco-sustainability and beauty in simple and unusual things."
