MEET THE ARTIST
Maracole Bijoux is a wearable art brand born from the vivid imagination of multidisciplinary Italian/American artist, Maracole, blending the worlds of pop surrealism, animation, and high craft.
Based in Los Angeles, the label channels a love for pop art, vintage cartoons, and whimsical storytelling into vibrant, collectible jewelry pieces.
Driven by a deep respect for sustainability and artistic integrity, Maracole Bijoux champions slow fashion through limited-edition collections, hand-assembled in a studio where no detail is overlooked.
Every piece is a miniature sculpture you can wear and it’s made to last.
With a bold aesthetic and a singular voice, Maracole Bijoux exists at the crossroads of fine craft and fantastical design, inviting those who wear it to express themselves unapologetically.
Each design is a meticulous creation — a labor of love that transforms ethically sourced glass beads and repurposed vintage materials, like acrylic and lucite, into ornaments that are lightweight, comfortable, and full of personality.
Ethical fashion:
Maracole Bijoux developed an unique way to combine bead embroidery and upcycling, by repurposing worn-out leather from used baseballs, silly straws from parties, and lucite beads from used vintage jewelry.
About the technique:
“My research as a bead smith is centered on the mastering of a weaving technique called cubic right angle, that allows to create sturdy sculptural meshes, based on the methodical repetition of a 12 seed beads unit. I sculpt my designs one unit at the time, juxtaposing empty and full forms, to keep my work light and dynamic.”
The Narrative:
“Coming from children entertainment, my narrative is by definition witty; my vocabulary as an artist includes joyful spheres of every size and material, as well as glossy elements in pastel colors, such as marbled lucite, that confer my pieces the look of toys.”
