KIPEPEO (Ki.pe.pe.o) is the Kiswahili word for butterfly

KIPEPEO originally launched in September 2001 with a selection of filigree jewelry which is now known as the line’s signature collection. We’ve even heard hip young things in New York remark “who doesn’t have a pair of KIPEPEO’s earrings?” Now KIPEPEO hatches from the chrysalis bigger, better and brassier.

KIPEPEO (Ki.pe.pe.o), the Kiswahili word for butterfly, embodies the notion of freedom and self-expression through fashion. The designer, Carol Muthiga, a fashionista takes her inspiration from her birth town of Kenya as well as from all her travels around the world. The staple big dangling filigree earrings remain ever popular, now adorned with colorful semi-precious gemstones. The young ladies of New York have a new classic to get their hands on. KIPEPEO Jewelry is a favorite of Celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Britney Spears, Nicole Richie and so many more. The editors all agree: Instyle, Vogue, People and Vanity Fair have all featured KIPEPEO on their pages and KIPEPEO is now a resident at Szul.com.
