About Us
At Vestige & Vixen, every piece tells a story. Whether found or created, my work is rooted in preservation, intention, and sustainability. I believe objects connect us to people, places, and memories worth holding onto.
Hi everyone, I'm Ellen Peters, founder of Vestige & Vixen. I am a one-woman studio based in Northern Virginia, creating from the gorgeous 18th-century stone house and its historic grist mill I own with my soon-to-be husband. I love to reimagine forgotten treasures into pieces meant to be worn, cherished, and passed on. Nothing is rushed, nothing is taken for granted. Whether it's some estate find I polish and repair or an artisan piece I bring in, each item is chosen or crafted for its character, history, and soul.
My commitment is simple:
- Preservation — honoring the stories carried by vintage and reclaimed materials.
- Intention — crafting and curating with care, never with haste.
- Sustainability — reducing waste by giving new life to what already exists.
Shopping with Vestige & Vixen is more than a transaction—it’s a connection. From thoughtful, recycled packaging to handwritten notes, every order is prepared with the same care it took to make or restore the piece itself.
Welcome you to my discoveries, meaningful pieces that are not just something to wear, but something to treasure.
Thank you for being part of my journey!
