about us

Brief history

Kiwipomelo is a Spanish accessories brand founded
by Tesi Rivera and Nuria Hernandez, mother and daughter. A brand that has become a great European adventure between Barcelona and London .

Our brand was born out of the need to create colourful, daring and light accessories for extroverted people and lovers of life, people who don't take things too seriously. We create accessories and jewelry to make you feel beautiful, special and different. Our thing is to create accessories, but we also know that nothing complements better than a smile. So we have set out to help you get the best of them!

Kiwipomelo fuses color, a sense of humor, elegance and craftsmanship. An optimistic way of seeing life reflected in handmade pieces that will bring out your most daring and joyful self.
We are inspired by anything that gives us a good feeling: memories, trips, a book, popular culture, or our daily routines.

Our jewelry is made by hand in our workshop in Barcelona , so you can be sure that all our pieces have been made with great care and locally in Spain so that you feel better than ever with them .

Meet the founders

Nuria, co-founder and creative director, started designing her own jewelry at a very young age, so you could say that kiwipomelo could already be seen coming… Her architectural training not only introduced her to new, high-quality materials with which to work , such as methacrylate, but also taught him different processes and techniques with which to achieve the best result.

Nuria started creating pieces under the kiwipomelo brand when she was still studying at university at home. What began as a hobby and great passion ended up being the best project that Nuria could dream of. Now, kiwipomelo has a workshop in Barcelona, from where all the ideas that may arise come from. Now, you can find us in multi-brand stores in Spain, France, Italy, Poland, the United Kingdom or Chile. Nuria defines herself as a cheerful, persevering, perfectionist, creative and optimistic person. She likes to travel a lot, she goes crazy dancing and she loves spending time with her loved ones.

Tesi is a doctor in Romance philology and a writer. Lover of art, color and fashion, he did not hesitate for a minute to get on this train. Tesi defines herself as affectionate, sincere and a family lover to the core! She is passionate about reading and listening to opera, and you will never see her without her touch of color in her clothing or jewelry.

Our values

At kiwipomelo we believe that fashion is the most direct channel to show ourselves to the world, not only as we are, but also as we want to be . Kiwipomelo aspires to be that brand that helps you get the best out of yourself, that infects you with a smile and the joy of living.
We are also firm defenders that the good result of a piece is achieved after hours (and more hours) designing, researching a lot and assembling the products with care.

All our pieces are made by hand in our studio in Barcelona, or with external Spanish suppliers, so you can be sure that you are purchasing a product that has been made by hand, with love, locally and under decent working conditions and optimal.

We create small runs, in many cases, limited, and by hand. In this way we reduce waste and the possible impact on the environment is as little as possible.

Creative process and materials:

Our creative process always starts with a pencil
and a notebook. Everything that comes to mind is deposited in that notebook that accompanies Nuria everywhere. Sometimes the designs come out early, other times, instead, they come out after years of maturation and at the right time. After the sketch by hand, it is transferred to a computer and laser cutting or 3D printing is carried out. Once the prototypes pass the filter, kiwipomelo is flooded with creativity to create the particular world that each piece deserves.

Our main material is methacrylate, a high-quality, lightweight material with endless possibilities. As we work with very special methacrylates, and everything is made by hand, you will not find two identical pieces. This gives your kiwipomelo piece a unique and special character.

We love exploring different textures, effects, and colors for each collection and design. Sometimes, the collections require certain finishes and, other times, it is the materials themselves that have hidden designs inside and only need us to bring them to light.

Since we do not believe in limits, we love to combine methacrylate with other materials such as glass, feathers, wood, etc. and with metals such as gold, silver, stainless steel and brass. Each piece and collection is unique and deserves to be treated as such.
