Our Story
Two friends, fishing at sunrise in the mangroves of Abu Dhabi; chatting about our weekly events, talking recipes, sharing news. Discussing dreams and passions in between struggling to bring in some rather stubborn queen-fish. Two friends of like mind, common interests, and ultimately a love of fashion.
A drive and desire to give women all over the world a chance to walk away from mass-produced, hastily put-together, mainstream rinse-and-repeat high street fashion brands.
The birth of Vivi & Co.
At the heart of our brand is that feeling we all crave — to look amazing, effortlessly amazing. To feel elegant, effortlessly elegant. To feel as if day can turn into evening, yet still wear the same amazing piece you popped on in the morning.
From beach bag to bar.
Bringing the best of styling from the UK and France, and blending it with UAE chic.
So, a bit About Us.
I’m Havovi (Vivi) and have resided in the UAE for over 15 years embracing all the UAE has to offer: the desert, the ocean, the serenity of escaping the bright lights of city life.
As a mum, home is where the heart is which also means London, and my family home in Sydney. I recently gave up corporate life with the intention of shaking up local fashion and lifestyle opportunities, bringing the Vivi & Co. dream to life.
With so many beautiful and inspiring women in my life, the idea of building a capsule of timeless, unique, everyday pieces with a dusting of love was irresistible. Everyday, effortless style.
I’m Corrine (Co) and left Biarritz, France, for a new life in the UAE. Like Havovi, I’m passionate about everything the UAE offers — the nature, the history, the boating trips (ably assisted by our dog, Morga). But France, and French fashion, are still at my core. After a career in beauty, I’ve long dreamed of creating a brand that brings together beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and fashion. Clothing that allows freedom, with refined ease. Beautiful fabrics, effortless silhouettes, and everyday luxury. And so, between us (and a rather successful fishing trip), Vivi & Co. was born.
Part of our journey is Alice, a fountain of knowledge and detail, with a love of research and attention to detail, so much so, we created her own forum "Ask Alice" where all your questions will be accurately answered with honesty and precision.
Vivi & Co is more than just a brand delivering beautiful, timeless pieces, it's also a platform to showcase the many creative talents that are here at our fingertips. If we act alone, we can do so little, but together, as a collective, we can do so much. Come with us, and join our community.
We stand for effortless, elegant fashion. Only using the best and softest linens, cottons and exceptional fabrics that will weather the hottest of days. Timeless, quality pieces that flow beautifully throughout the day into the evening. Come and join us on our journey.
With love,
Vivi & Co.
