Pichulik of South Africa Collaborates With By Malene Birger in Copenhagen
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna.
Scandinavian minimalism got a dose of South African sass when one of the vanguards of Copenhagen style, By Malene Birger, collaborated with Cape Town-based ethical jewelry and accessories atelier Pichulik to create a pair of earrings and a limited edition belt in two colorways that was launched online on International Women’s Day.
By Malene Birger, now under the helm of design director Maja Dixdotter, is known for its spare and feminine aesthetic interpreted through luxurious fabrics. Pichulik, founded by Katherine-Mary Pichulik, is recognized for its distinctive use of rope in a rainbow of colors combined with metal and stone. Both brands share a handcrafted approach to fashion and attention to detail. The brand’s Kathlin belt in black and chanterelle is sinuous and dramatic, consisting of rows of rope with a wraparound knot and gold-toned hardware. The sculptural earrings have an earthy and bohemian feel, two-tone rope detailing and gold-toned hardware, offered in a black, gray and taupe combination, as well as a chanterelle and rust orange version.
The Pichulik earrings designed in collaboration with By Malene Birger.
“I have always appreciated the understated elegance and wanderlust of By Malene Birger,” said Pichulik.
“It feels like we’re quite aligned, actually,” Dixdotter added. “Pichulik’s pieces fit seamlessly into our woman’s wardrobe, and our two aesthetics speak to the same woman.”
Pichulik described that woman as “a considered woman.” By that she means a woman who is intelligent, curious and intentional about how she lives her life, which encompasses the objects, activities and people that form part of it. “She is conscious of her impact, and how her decisions affect others.”
Dixdotter admitted that some parts of her business have suffered in the pandemic; By Malene Birger scaled down collections and scaled up its qualities and sustainability focus, while finding “new ways of working when it comes to production.”
The By Malene Birger x Pichulik line is available online and in By Malene Birger stores for a limited time period. The belts retail for 1,499 Danish krone, or $232, while the earrings are priced at 599 Danish krone, or $95. The brand will donate 100 Danish krone, or $16, of each piece sold to Women for Women International, a charity that helps women survivors of war rebuild their lives.
“We’re super happy that it’s been well-received, with the earrings selling out online on the first day,” said Dixdottir.

Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher are officially married. The Oscar nominee, 63, and the Australian model, 44, tied the knot after first getting engaged in September 2018, PEOPLE can exclusively confirm. The two also share an 8-year-old daughter, Izzy Oona, and a 5-year-old son, Max Charles.
Murphy and Butcher got married on Tuesday, July 9 in Anguilla during a small private ceremony in front of family and close friends. Butcher wore a corseted gown adorned with lace designed by Mira Zwillinger, while the groom wore a white Brioni suit.
This marks the second marriage for Murphy and the first for Butcher.
The news of their nuptials comes less than a month after Murphy and Butcher stepped out together during the Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F premiere in Los Angeles on June 20. At the Netflix event, the two were joined on the red carpet by his daughters, Bria, 34, Shayne Audra, 29, and Bella Zahra, 22 — whom he shares with ex-wife Nicole, 56.
Murphy’s Beverly Hills Cop costar, Judge Reinhold, recently told PEOPLE, “He’s crazy about his kids and his family. He’s a family guy at heart. Truly is. He really is.”
In 2012, Murphy and Butcher began dating. The pair welcomed their first child together, Izzy, on May 3, 2016. The couple then welcomed their second child, Max, on Nov. 30, 2018, two months after getting engaged.
While Butcher doesn’t often do interviews, she spoke about her then-fiancé on the red carpet at the 2020 Golden Globes.
When asked what he whispered to her on the red carpet, Murphy told Extra, “I told her how wonderful she looks.” Butcher then chimed in, saying, “He actually says that kind of stuff all the time. He’s very, very sweet and romantic.”
