Our Story
Two friends, fishing at sunrise inthe 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 thatfeeling we all crave - to look amazing, effortlessly amazing. To feel elegant,effortlessly elegant. To feel as if day can turn into evening, but still wearthe 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 them with UAEchic.
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 so that too involves London and my family home in Sydney. I gave up my corporate life recently, with an intention to shake up the local fashion and lifestyle opportunities here and bring the Vivi & Co dream to fruition. With so many beautiful and inspiring women in my life, the prospect 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 life in the UAE. Like Havovi, I share the same passions for all the UAE has to offer; the nature, the history and wonderful boating trips (ably assisted by our dog Morga.) But France and French fashion is still at my heart. Following a career in beauty, I have always been keen to develop a brand that would combine beauty with wellness, lifestyle and fashion. Beautiful fabrics, clothing that allows freedom and fashion that’s easy and relaxed yet refined. So, between us (and a rather successful fishing trip) Vivi & Co was born.
