About Charlotte
Charlotte Reiss is the founder and creative voice behind Vivi et Margot, a lifestyle brand inspired by the quiet beauty of everyday life in Provence.
Born in England, later building a successful career in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles, Charlotte eventually traded city life for the French countryside, where she now lives in an eighteenth-century farmhouse, raising her two daughters among olive groves, village markets, and the changing seasons of Provence.
In 2015, she founded Vivi et Margot named after her daughters, as a way of sharing the people, places, and craftsmanship that had become such an important part of her own life. What began as an online shop has gradually evolved into something much broader: a place where thoughtful design, artisan collaborations, writing, photography, and intimate gatherings come together to celebrate a slower, more intentional way of living.
Charlotte works closely with artists, makers, and family-run ateliers throughout Provence, many of whom have become dear friends over the years. Their work, alongside carefully designed collections created under the Vivi et Margot name, reflects a shared appreciation for timeless craftsmanship and enduring quality.
Through her essays on Substack, her photography, and stories on Instagram Charlotte invites readers into the everyday moments that often pass unnoticed, the morning light across an old stone wall, a market basket filled with seasonal flowers, the rituals of gathering around a table, and the beauty found in a life lived with intention.
Whether through a thoughtfully designed piece for the home, a collaboration with a local artisan, or a week spent together in Provence, her hope has always been the same: to inspire others to find beauty not in perfection, but in the ordinary moments that become the most memorable.
Charlotte continues to live in Provence with her daughters, where life,and the changing seasons of the French countryside, remain the heart of everything she creates.
