About RIXO

RIXO was founded in a London living room by best friends Henrietta & Orlagh, united by their love of vintage and a vision to create unique, hand-painted prints and timeless silhouettes. Today, our mission remains the same: to help women feel like the best version of themselves, confident, feminine, and empowered. From everyday dressing to occasion wear, we design with inclusivity and individuality at our core.
