Izzey & Vicky - Our First Steps
In the midst of an autumn day in 2019, Izzey and Vicky invite you into the heart of XV Stripes, sharing the intimate story of its inception. Nestled at Izzey's beloved beach on the Isle of Wight, the very backdrop that frames the serene landscapes captured on XV bedding, they reflect on their journey and the evolution of the initial XV range.
Picture it: a candid conversation unfolds in the back of a pick-up truck, unfiltered and unedited. This is where the essence of XV Stripes comes to life. Their meeting wasn't just a coincidence; it was a convergence of like minds with a shared vision. Here, the ethos of XV Stripes was born — a brand crafted with a hands-on approach, placing sustainability at the forefront. It's a celebration of creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and above all, a commitment to infusing joy into every design.
Join Izzey and Vicky on their journey to redefine luxury with XV Stripes, where every product is a testament to their passion for coastal living and commitment to a brighter, more sustainable future
Our Sustainability Focus
XV Stripes' unwavering commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in our vision. Rooted in a lifestyle fueled by the invigorating breath of fresh sea air, ozone-enhanced coastal environments, and a dedication to a healthy way of life, our ethos mirrors the essence of sustainable living.
Central to our commitment is the meticulous sourcing of fabrics and fibers from sustainable origins. The very air and oceans that inspire us are echoed in every thread, creating a connection between our products and the pristine natural world. In line with this dedication, all our cotton products strictly adhere to the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. This renowned certification signifies that every component, from threads to buttons and accessories, undergoes rigorous testing for harmful substances. The end result is a product certified as non-harmful to both humans and the environment.
At XV Stripes, sustainability isn't just a checkbox; it's a way of life that permeates every aspect of our creations. Join us in embracing a lifestyle that not only elevates your living spaces but also contributes to a healthier, more sustainable world.
Our Mindset
At XV Stripes, our creative spirit transcends mere color, imagery, and design; it permeates every facet of our business, especially in the intricate production process. The vibrant hues and luxurious textures of our linens, cushion covers, and throws aren't merely a result of the dyeing process. Instead, they are a harmonious interplay of meticulously developed yarns, the natural fibers from which they originate, and the unique jacquard weave employed—an innovation previously unused in bedding.
The commitment to creativity doesn't stop there. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, our fabrics are exclusively sourced from sustainable suppliers, aligning with our dedication to responsible practices. The XV fabric, crafted with this distinctive jacquard weave, introduces a delightful texture, a rich depth of color, and a luxurious feel to our bedding ranges, setting them apart in both quality and uniqueness. With XV Stripes, every piece tells a story of innovation, sustainability, and a commitment to elevating your living spaces
Our mission has always been to curate a selection of products and forge partnerships with production teams across the UK and Europe that align with our core values. We are thrilled to announce that we have not only found such partners but are also eagerly anticipating the opportunity to share these discoveries with you soon!
Our commitment to excellence extends to every facet of our creations. From the meticulously hand-drawn images gracing our interior ranges to the carefully foraged and finished driftwood toggles adorning our bedding, every detail undergoes a meticulous and passionate approval process before it leaves our hands for dispatch. With XV Stripes, you can expect a level of attention to detail that reflects our dedication to delivering products of exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
