Khoi Shopping Experience
Anyone who really knows me, knows that I am an accessories lover! I believe accessories are the most important part of an outfit, adding interest by taking an outfit from simple to standout. One style goal of mine as I embrace a new decade of life is to curate a timeless accessories collection. I decided to start with jewelry, as I love unique pieces crafted from the best materials. While on a recent trip to Chicago, IL with my mom and sisters, I had the opportunity to pick up some beautiful pieces from the Khoi studio. Khoi is a jewelry brand owned by content creator and entrepreneur, Hayet Rida. I’ve followed Hayet on Instagram for some time now and was so excited to check out her business.
My shopping experience at Khoi as one of a kind. The studio reminded me of a museum or gallery, where the jewelry is the art. As you enter, there’s a wall filled with pictures of prominent women, as well as TV displays of beautiful women modeling the jewelry, which I believe serves as a reminder that women are strong, beautiful, talented and capable of making our dreams come true. Some of the jewelry was displayed on mannequins, while some was located around various parts of the space. I would describe the overall aesthetic of the studio as luxurious, simplistic, calm and artistic. You can tell that every detail was carefully and purposefully thought about when designing the space.
We were greeted by a lovely associate who explained the process of how things work in terms of trying items on. We sat at the curation table with another group of ladies and had the most amazing time. It was like playing dress up in the most mature, grown-up way. We got to try on almost every item available, and even got a sneak peek at pieces soon to be released. I had already taken screenshots of each item from the website that I loved, so that the process to try on would be seamless, and it was!
The jewelry is designed by Hayet and handmade in Ghana. The quality is superb, as each item is made of brass and finished with brushed gold or silver. What I love about Khoi is that not only does the jewelry make a statement, but each piece has an interesting story behind it. Everything about Khoi is intentional, which makes one love the brand even more. I certainly consider the brand as the perfect example of luxury at an accessible price point.
We all left with some goodies that we love, and I have since added several other pieces to my collection. Do yourself a favor and check out this wonderful business by shopping the website or in the studio in Chicago, IL. You will be happy you did!
