Hey! I'm Kenya Reiko! You can call me Ken :) I'm a girl governed by nostalgia and my aesthetic intention with everything I create is an "elevated whimsy"— something playful that sparks your inner child, but still speaks of glamour. I draw inspiration from kid culture, 90's fads, foods, textiles, and fun facts about animals. I love working in bright colors and turning familiar objects into wearable art.
All pieces are handmade and slow-woven bead by bead in my little home studio in Portland, OR. It is such a joy for me to design and create these magical little gifts for you, and I hope you find something to love and cherish.
I am not an Indigenous bead artist, and I will always strive to be conscious and considerate of cultural boundaries in my work. If you're looking for Indigenous artists to support, I would love to direct you to some of my favorite creators (beadwork and more)!
Thank you for coming by! You can follow me at @rei_koco on Instagram for more info and updates.
These earrings are absolutely amazing!! I’m a huge earring lover, and these are my first beaded earrings. They are one of a kind, and have such a unique pattern and bring so much flare to my collection. Kenya’s pieces are made with so much detail, love and crafts(wo)manship. I’m so excited to add more of her pieces into my collection!

These might be the coolest earrings I own. They are honestly so unique and fun, I get compliments every time I wear them out. They arrived extremely quickly, are super lightweight and comfortable on the ears, and are amazing quality as always. Thank you so much for continuously making such beautiful, unique pieces that make me feel just as beautiful and unique when I wear them <3

Hard to believe these could look better in person than they do online but it's true!! A great way to make an all-black outfit suddenly non-boring. They are wonderful!

I love these earrings and I get compliments on them *every* time I wear 'em. They go with every outfit, they shimmer in the sunlight, and they bring me joy each time I lay eyes on 'em. Classic high quality construction and materials from Ken at Reiko. You really can't go wrong with anything she makes. :)

Earrings are so beautiful and well made. They are original but still a classic with the gravy’s square design.

Absolutely perfect!
These are so cute and functional! They stay put in my hair and look fantastic. Color coordinates perfectly with my style. Very well made and sturdy! It's a joy to wear these daily <3
My sardines are gorgeous, they’re light enough for my sensitive ears and the length is perfect. Can’t wait to wear them in public! I will gladly spread the word about Reiko Co.
I was so excited to order these! The sea glass-inspired colors are so lovely, and the earrings are nice and light and look so pretty on - I love the chunky beads!
I love them!! These are such dainty earring with lots of personality :) I love to wear them with my deep sea fish pants or just with my pullover and jeans when I go to class (I’m in fishery sciences and feel so cool in fish lectures wearing these). They’re also not heavy at all and forget I’m wearing them bc they’re so comfy! Great earrings! My partner steals them to wear sometimes too!
