Meet Our Founder ✨
❓ Who is the founder of Pikapi? 👩🎨✨
My name is Amina Bennis, and I’m the proud founder of Pikapi, a jewelry brand born from a lifetime of passion, creativity, and culture.
💡 What inspired you to start Pikapi? 🌟💍
Growing up in Morocco, I was surrounded by inspiration. My father was a stylist, a true artist who transformed simple fabrics into stunning masterpieces. Watching him, I developed a love for fashion and design. As a little girl, I gathered fabric scraps to craft accessories—necklaces, bracelets, and little bags—bringing my own creations to life.
🚀 How did your journey in fashion evolve? 👗🌍
At 20, I moved to Paris, the city of fashion—stepping into what felt like Wonderland! Every street was a runway, filled with unique styles. I was lucky to work at Sonia Rykiel, a defining moment that solidified my dream of working in fashion. To follow this passion, I trained in styling and modeling, immersing myself in the creative world.
💎 What led to the creation of Pikapi? 💭✨
In 2020, my family and I moved back to Morocco so my two boys could grow up connected to their roots. After years of working in Paris, I felt the need to reconnect with myself and do something that truly spoke to my soul. That’s when I remembered the little girl who made her own jewelry and glowed with pride from the compliments she received. That was my aha! moment—I realized that creating jewelry was my true calling.
📆 When was Pikapi born, and what is its essence? 🏺🇲🇦
In 2021, Pikapi was born, capturing the essence of my journey and the beauty of Morocco. Inspired by the country’s vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, and rich materials, I designed a collection for all women—elegant, stylish, accessible, and durable. I wanted jewelry that transitions effortlessly from day to night, perfect for any occasion.
🔗 Why did you choose stainless steel for your jewelry? ⏳✨
Stainless steel offers incredible durability and resistance, ensuring that each piece stands the test of time. To add more authenticity and individuality, I incorporate beads, stones, and freshwater pearls, infusing each piece with elegance and a connection to nature.
🌟 What’s next for Pikapi in 2025? 🌍💫
A new chapter is calling! 📖 At Pikapi, we dream big—not just for our brand but for ourselves. We aim to expand worldwide, grow alongside our business, and embrace new horizons. That’s why we’ve set our sights on Dubai!
🏙️ Why Dubai? ✈️🔥
Dubai is a city of beauty, ambition, and endless opportunities. It blends tradition and innovation, bringing together people from all over the world. For me, this move is about more than business—it’s about experiencing the world through my craft and telling stories through jewelry.
💖 What does this next chapter mean for you personally? 🌎🚀
It’s about growth, adventure, and staying true to the dream that started it all—creating meaningful and beautiful jewelry while celebrating women’s individuality. Through Pikapi, I want to travel the world, not just physically but through the stories my jewelry tells.
✨ What is Pikapi’s philosophy? 💫💍
Pikapi is more than just a jewelry brand—it’s a celebration of individuality, heritage, and self-expression. It’s a reminder that beauty lies in the details, and even the smallest accessory can make you feel confident, radiant, and seen.
