CHOU (sho͞o) : From the french expression “c’est chou” commonly used to mean: cute, fun, nice and sweet.

My name is Maude Perrin, I'm the designer and maker of CHOU jewelry.

Born and raised in Montreal, I now call Oaxaca my home.

This sun-drenched city in the southwest of Mexico has been the landscape of my craft for the past 10 years.

 

Using minimalist geometric shapes and soothing, soft hues, CHOU pieces capture the fullness, harmony and the quiet beauty of nature.

 

Fashioned from traditional materials but designed with a modern aesthetic, CHOU pieces are adaptable. They’re elegant for special occasions but also a perfect companion for the quotidian. 

 

As Chou has grown from a one-woman project to a small team of experienced employees, its mission has expanded. I hope to make CHOU a catalyst for positive change in my community by providing opportunities for independence, empowerment, and the exchange of skills.

 

When you purchase a piece from CHOU, you can be sure it is made with care for the community and leaves a small environmental footprint.
