Our Story
XO began in the South of France.
23 years ago, while traveling through Provence — pregnant with my daughter — I felt something shift. The villages moved slower. The textiles felt intentional. Beauty wasn’t loud; it was lived in. Linen hung from balconies. Long lunches stretched into evening. Everything felt simple — yet deeply considered.
That trip changed me.
The elegance, the restraint, the belief that quality over quantity creates a richer life. XO was born from that desire: to bring home the feeling of living beautifully. The softness. The slow down. The quiet luxury of choosing well. What began as beautiful textiles evolved into something far more personal.
Over the years, XO not only supported our family but help shape it — children modeling, dogs underfoot, my husband beside me. The discovery? Magic is rarely in the grand moments. It lives in the in-between.
Travel continues to shape me (us). It reminds me that we can live better — not with more, but with intention. With craftsmanship over trends. With core values over noise. When we choose pieces that last, life feels fuller. Richer. More meaningful.
XO is my invitation to you: Slow down. Choose quality. Love deeply. Wrap yourself in comfort while you live a life fully felt.
Because the most beautiful stories are rarely rushed.
