Wikkitz jewelry line was begun in 2009 in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Head designer, Tessa
Poppe, was drawn to the materials she found while traveling around Southeast Asia and
decided to incorporate them into her line.  Tessa began working closely with a community of
women who do incredible crochet work.  Their family members hand-make the wax covered
fiber that is the main component in Wikkitz, as well as the hand-carved coconut buttons.  Our
materials are eco-friendly and natural.  Wikkitz is in the process of becoming Fair Trade Certified.
