“Our Kathleen dress is proof that a trapeze shape can be incredibly flattering. Cut in crisp cotton poplin with an easy neckline, it has that throw-on-and-go feeling while still holding a beautiful shape. In classic leopard, it feels timeless, wearable and exactly the kind of dress you’ll reach for day after day.”
“These charms are so sentimental to me. My mum gave them to me, and they’re really where our RIXO charms began. I’ve always loved that they can be worn together or separately, layered up or kept simple – but either way they feel timeless. That’s what I love most about charm jewellery: it holds meaning, but still becomes part of your everyday.”
"I’ve been collecting little bits and pieces for my bar cart for years, from antique fairs in Italy and France to flea markets in the UK, but somehow they all work together."
“I fought hard for this dress to be in the range, and I’m so glad it made it. Some prints are for everyone but this speaks to me and feels really special. The print has that late-sixties spirit I love, but it was completely hand-painted by our print team. It has messages of love and humanity hidden within it, which feels emotional – especially in the world we’re living in today – and it brings some joy into what you wear. I keep the styling pared back because the dress does all the talking. It’s one of those pieces that already feels like future vintage.”
"We love hosting family and friends, and candles always help set the mood. These glass candlestick holders from Soho Home effortlessly elevate any table setting without needing much else."
“Even though I can wear this RIXO skirt with all of my white blouses, this one, which I found in a charity shop, felt very ‘me’. I love it when I find a piece in a vintage store or charity shop, and I don’t know how or why I need it, then suddenly it clicks into place a few months down the line.”
“This is exactly what I love about RIXO: a simple shape made memorable through the detail. This dress was inspired by a vintage piece I found at Turner Vintage in Portobello. The silhouette does the work, while the appliqué gives it something distinctive without making it feel too dressed up. I wear it with a silk overshirt to make it feel more undone and everyday – the shirt is a charity-shop find and looks just as good with my vintage Levi’s.”
“My best fashion purchase is this vintage leopard-print jacket. We actually developed our Milly coat from it. I absolutely love it – you really can't go wrong with leopard.”
“I don’t own loads of shoes, but Chanel slingbacks, vintage Ginas and some RIXO wedges are my most-worn.”
I found this painting at Ardingly Antiques Fair and instantly fell for its 1970s feel. There’s something incredibly calming about it, especially paired with my rose quartz, which always brings a good energy to the space.
“This little vintage bed jacket has become one of my favourite pieces to layer with my RIXO slip dress. It instantly changes the feeling of the look, but still feels effortless – and I love that I can just as easily pull it over a simple tee. Beautiful, useful, and exactly the kind of vintage I never want to put away.”
"I love sitting here with my family over dinner, catching up on the day. We use the dining room when we're hosting, but this nook is for everyday life—intimate, cosy and exactly how we wanted it to feel."
“I’m obsessed with my Diptyque perfume! It’s always the last thing to put on. And a lip balm!”
"I love this blue dress. Its simple silhouette is inspired by a vintage 1990s slip dress I used to own, while the print makes it feel effortlessly wearable every day."
“Our jewellery is one of RIXO’s best-kept secrets. It’s not what people always know us for, but it’s such an important part of how we style the world of RIXO – original, vintage-inspired and never too ‘done’.”
