PICHULIK‘s SS22 Kokomo Collection is inspired by The Beach Boys’ fictional beachside paradise and boasts lush, bold idiosyncratic colour combinations that encourage playfulness – an antidote to the theme of loss and grief that has characterised the last two years.
Kokomo is the place we all have nostalgia for, whether conjured from our own memory or simply existent in the mind’s eye. It is the place that PICHULIK Women go to revel in the serious business of simple summer pleasures: no exotic jet-setting nor fine-dining affairs, just watermelons split haphazardly between friends and sun-tired evenings spent dancing to songs assumed forgotten. This is the spirit of PICHULIK’s Kokomo Collection and we’re here for it.
Featuring jewellery designs that are at once playful and sophisticated, the Kokomo Collection includes Amie bracelets and necklaces that can be joined to create varying lengths and colour combinations. Verdant greens and island blues complement hunter green and rust orange. The distinctive Kokomo pendant contrasts maroon with aqua blue, paying homage to seventies design. La Playa hoops are sculptural brass silhouettes edged in signature PICHULIK rope while the Arcana chain necklace pairs with Milagro hoops for easy transitions from day to night.
