Alexcia
While Alexcia was “born” in NYC she was really “bred” over many continents including spots like Ixtapa, Sydney, Lugano, and Munich to name a few. Due to the fact that she was brought up by an art collector her appreciation of everything “artistic” in all its forms was cultivated and nourished; Whether by a gorgeous Indian tapestry, a perfect Italian outdoor table setting , or a Moroccan inspired embroidered summer dress. Anything hand made and steeped in culture makes her heartbeat!
After owning and co-owning two brick and mortar lifestyle / Craft businesses in both Munich and Connecticut over 8 years Alexcia is now living in Westport and managing an iconic French brand within A renowned department store. At home and while traveling she is still obsessed with creating and re-creating. So much so that her 3 children joke about her inability of “deep sofa seating.” Although, it is rumored with the perfect gin & tonic the chances definitely improve…
