Kaela Cherise founder of KAECHE credits her childhood for her love of accessories after seeing images of figures in ESSENCE magazine and BET Award red carpets. She knew she wanted to add her staple touch to these glamorous celebrities she saw.
When thinking of a concept she wanted to create for her business, she first wanted to make clothing and even took a sewing class, but that quickly changed. “I cared more about creating unique designs instead of rushing into trendy fashion,” Cherise said.
Instead of adding her unique touch to fabrics, she gravitated toward jewelry design.
“While browsing Hobby Lobby’s jewelry section, life’s fate consumed me and changed everything,” she told GU. “What started as a way to fund my clothing dreams unexpectedly turned into a strong bond with jewelry. It’s an intrinsic connection in which I am never letting go.”
KAECHE Accessories was born and became a haven for those who wanted to add that flair to any outfit. “I am amazed at how beautiful gold or silver pieces can transform a look and build confidence. This excitement keeps me going, and I’m determined to create jewelry to decorate and empower,” she said.
She can garner her community and empower customers to release their inner fashionista through her brand. “I believe that all credit goes to God,” Cherise said. “I reflect on meeting one of my models purely because she rocked my jewelry and went viral on Twitter. We hadn’t even crossed paths before, but that intrinsic connection happened. It truly was destiny at play.”
