From a Quiet Room to Radiant Roots. The Handmade Heart of Ayiti Perle

Ayiti Perle was born in 2022 from a spark of inspiration in a quiet room in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a dream crafted by Martine, fresh out of high school and waiting for university to begin. Fueled by the skills she gathered in her school’s craft club and a deep desire to create accessories that honor true identity with elegance, she began shaping pieces by hand, each one infused with meaning.

Originally named Made with Love, the brand evolved with the help of her dear friend Glafira, who co-imagined the name Ayiti Perle, a tribute to Haitian culture and island soul, expressed through African beads and stainless steel. The vision was clear, but it was Jonathan, the first sponsor and believer, who helped turn it into reality.

From the very beginning, Ayiti Perle has been a collective heartbeat. Christelle, a ride-or-die sister in spirit, stood by every step. And to every friend, family member, and supporter, whether you purchased, shared, modeled, or simply encouraged, your love built this brand.

Special thanks to Christelle, Glafira, Dave, Gaby, Gaëlle, Loue, Fifi, Andrea, Loudjine, Joonie (our very first model), Banoue, Samantha, Sébastien, Jonathan, Anikey, Hyrga, and every soul who believed, known or unknown. You are part of our story.

Ayiti Perle is more than accessories. It’s a movement of beauty, resilience, and cultural pride, handmade with heart, and worn with purpose.
