About Totinette bijoux

Totinette bijoux is designed and crafted in Portland, Oregon. My vision is to create simple, beautiful modern classics - every day pieces that can stand alone or be layered with your other favorites. When I was a little girl my mom always encouraged me to make gifts and cards for people. We would go to craft bazaars and art fairs and I remember thinking that that was something I would like to do someday...to sell my own handmade goods at fairs. In 2003 I decided to learn to sew because I wanted to make and sell handbags. That is how Totinette was born. I traveled to Chicago to sell my bags at the very first Renegade Craft Fair, which was also my very first craft show. It was exciting and fun and I've met so many amazing people through the craft world. At some point I grew tired of sewing alone in my basement. I floundered for a couple years trying to find my next style and product line. And then I emerged with a line of brightly colored jewelry and have been running with that ever since! I LOVE jewelry! Standing at my dresser and picking out which jewelry to wear is one of my favorite parts of the day!Read their story
