Our Story

HOLA <3

We are Mi Bugambilia, founded by two life long best friends (Amy on the left, Janet on the right). We met in middle school, in ESL class to be exact. We were separated for a few years during high school and most of College.

On a random day, life decided to reunite us, in our hometown Salinas, California. After talking for hours we realized we were apart, but had been going through all of the same things, down to having sciatica (LOL). Life has continued to push our strength and limits, but having a bestie makes it all easier and obviously fun!   

We always knew we would unite our passion for art, design, creating beautiful things and connecting with people, but we did not know how. It all started a year ago, on our way to spend the day in San Fransisco, with a conversation about wanting to bond and connect with women of all ages and help each other feel empowered, beautiful, and HEAL through connection. Our purpose is one that will take time and lot's of LOVE, we are in for the long ride.

Why jewelry?... Jewelry is something that you can put on and immediately feel beautiful. Something so subtle has the power to shift your energy and empower your self confidence. Jewelry also sparks connection through conversation, and sharing through gifting, which are the pillars of LOVE. 

Mi Bugambilia is a name that we hold close to our hearts. Bugambilia (Bougainvillea) is a thorny ornamental vine bush with tiny white flowers surrounded by bright fuchsia (most commonly known color) papery like leaves.  One of the places that you see Bugambilia is in Mexico. Our Motherland. If you ever go to Mexico, rest assured you will see beautiful Bugambilia bushes everywhere. One of these places, is our grandmothers and aunts houses. Talk to anyone that is from Mexico or has family in Mexico and they will remember a Bugambilia adorning their loved one's patio or garden. Our name Mi Bugambilia makes us feel connected to our roots and the most important Women in our lives.

To make it even more special and meaningful, all of our jewelry is sourced from Jalisco, Mexico. How special is that! Every piece is carefully selected and curated to our brand. Our goal is to make you feel beautiful and empowered by elevating your look with pieces that can be worn alone or layered for a polished and edgy look. 

We hope you love our brand and you stick around to see how our mission unfolds.
