Tuu by Coutukitsch
Founded in 2010 as Coutukitsch, founders Dorian Kitsch and her partner, Koti Uteng, started selling affordable premium jewellery options at local markets before opening a storefront in 2014. In 2023, they rebranded to Tuu by Coutukitsch and reopened in Inglewood’s historic McGill Block brick building.
Known for quality and affordability, Tuu carries chunky hoop earrings, dainty bracelets, earrings, charm necklaces and bag accessories. The shop offers charm-building workshops and permanent jewellery application, and an extensive selection of charms in the shop’s in-store charm bar.
