In conversation with

Louisa Tratalos

Meet Louisa Tratalos, the Founder of Colours of Arley. And the designer of the beautiful bespoke fitting room curtains in our new King's Road Flagship!

What is your Favourite piece of RIXO?

I really love the Evie dress in Vintage Daisy Green, it’s also in the bridal section as an option for bridesmaids which I think is genius.

What INSPIRED YOU to start cOLOURS OF ARLEY?

Before starting Colours of Arley in 2022, I worked as an interiors and portrait photographer, and I love documentary and storytelling. By creating a bespoke brand, a place people can choose their own stripes based on personal memories or spaces, I combined my passions. Colours Of Arley offers a unique service, creates fun content for our stripey stories and connects with other creatives on exciting projects. It’s such a buzz seeing the bespoke stripes people choose and discovering the reasons behind their choices.

How has it been to work collaboratively with rixo & Gemma on the flagship store?

RIXO was a dream brand fit for us; female-founders, forward-thinking and always using vibrant colours as part of their playful aesthetic. Gemma has such a clear vision and a great eye for detail, and it was really inspiring to work alongside her for this journey. I can’t wait to see where she goes with Cúpla Studio.
