Brand Story
Inspired by Nature
Qike Qilo was founded by Lei Qin, who brought years of experience and reflection in the fashion and jewelry industry. Having worked for many years of Harper's Bazaar China, Lei Qin understood that glamorous and expensive jewelry often deterred young fashion enthusiasts. After leaving Bazaar, she moved to the UK, where she was inspired by local women's love for jewelry accessories. Jewelry enhanced their outfits, making them look stylish and confident. However, the high prices of these pieces also limited many young women's ability to afford them.
Based on this, Lei Qin was determined to create a jewelry brand that young women could afford—Qike Qilo. This brand not only incorporates her fashion insights and love for jewelry design, garnered from her time at top global fashion magazines, but also her respect for nature and commitment to sustainable development. Qike Qilo strives to allow every young woman to freely make jewelry the soul of their everyday outfits with easy, burden-free mixing and matching. By wearing these pieces, they also express respect and care for the environment through sustainable materials and reasonable prices.
