Geia sou (Hello)
I began Xenia by Design in January 2017, as a salute to my Greek heritage. I grew up with a large Greek influence, including the presence of the evil eye. My father has had one for as long as I can remember, and it remained in the same place in my childhood home for all the years we lived there. It’s a symbol that holds a very special place in my heart, and led me to begin this exciting venture.
I've put together a currated collection of evil eye and Greek-style jewellery, homewares and accessories sourced from Mediterranean , with many of these items handmade in Greece by talented designers. Some items are even made by Xenia! I am proud to be able to offer you a slice of Greek goodness on this side of our big world.
For me, the heart of my project, is my connection to Greece. It's in my blood, and I feel very patriotic towards everything Greek – even though I've never lived there. I grew up in South Africa, where there's a very large Greek community, then moved to New Zealand 24 years ago.
Thank you so much for your support. I hope you appreciate and respect the protection the evil eye brings to your life too.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ
Xenia xoxo
