Kelli looks to her past, her culture, and her community to build something much bigger than just another jewelry boutique. The collaborative space she’s created bridges the gap between the world and artists in El Salvador. Whether you miss home or want to learn more about our beautiful country, Kelmari Designs brings El Salvador to you with amor, alegría, y cultura.
Kelmari is a handcrafted jewelry, lifestyle, and collective brand founded by Kelli Salas in 2018. Kelli, born and raised in Dallas, Texas, is the daughter of Salvadoran immigrants. She has a strong background in fashion merchandising and a stronger passion for family and her Salvadoran culture.
