About April Bijou

Founder & Artistic Director of Bonbon Avenue

April Bijou is a creator of worlds a writer, artist, and visionary whose work transforms the everyday into the extraordinary. She is the founder and artistic director of Bonbon Avenue, a maison of storybook elegance where objects are memory-keepers and imagination is rendered in silk, porcelain, and ink.

Raised in the golden warmth of Miami and shaped by a life in music, fashion, and fine art, April has spent years crafting a universe where refinement and whimsy coexist unapologetically. Her stories are whispered on parchment. Her illustrations echo the hand of tradition. Her collections carry the softness of fairytales and the detail of haute couture.

Her debut book an heirloom of lyrical prose and illustrated charm will soon open the gates to Bonbon Avenue in its truest form. It marks the beginning of a library, a legacy, and a life lived as art.

Each creation whether porcelain mug, embroidered linen, or hand-bound journal is a curated relic from her imagined world: a place where stories breathe and beauty lingers quietly.

“I believe in wonder you can touch. In poetry that wears perfume.

And in reminding grownups that they were once magic, too.”

The House Philosophy

Bonbon Avenue was never designed to be loud. It was designed to be kept.
