"I am going to make everything around me beautiful- that will be my life." Elsie de Wolfe
Life’s simplest pleasures are found in the rhythm of our everyday lives.
Yet, modern life often puts us in a trance. We go through the motions without thought or intention.
This is something our founder learned when she took a sudden break from her hectic job. She realized that… she forgot how to appreciate life. Every activity/moment felt like “a waste of time” unless it was measurably productive or enjoyable.
Bothered by this realization, she knew she had to re-learn how to enjoy life.
Fig & Olive was started to bring back intentionality into busy modern lives in a tangible way through our products.
Our mission is to turn everyday tasks into luxurious, joyful experiences. We want to help you create, notice, and surround yourself with small moments of joy and gratitude through products that make even the most mundane tasks (like doing laundry) enjoyable.
Fig is often a symbol of abundance, and olive a symbol of peace. Our prayer is that just like fig and olive trees, you, too, will be inspired daily to flourish and live abundantly.
More on our founder:
With a background in product development engineering and business consulting, she enjoys dreaming up practical products that simplify yet amplify everyday life.
She is especially excited about our non-toxic stain remover spray as it is a product that she confidently uses every single day without fail.
“I have come to find that by consciously cultivating a rhythm of small moments of gratitude and peace throughout my day, starting in the home, I am more likely to create a fruitful, and more importantly, joyful day.”
Fewer, finer
Minimalism means being intentional about what you have.
At Fig & Olive, minimalism does not necessarily mean getting rid of everything. Instead, it means being intentional about what you choose to use every day.
Therefore, we focus on creating high-quality products that you would want to use daily.
Abundance in simplicity
The most versatile products are simple.
Our thoughtful and functional designs and formulations focus on simplicity. The more fuss-free, the better.
We want to create an effortless experience for you when using our products.
Intentional living
Intention goes beyond the products we wear and use.
While we hope to inspire you to live with more intention starting with our products, that's not where we want it to end.
A wholesome life starts in the mind. We want our products to be a reminder for all of us to flourish by living life purposefully every day.
