About XV Interiors

Inspired by a deep connection to coastal living and the ocean, XV Interiors captures the essence of relaxed, considered interiors with sustainability at their core.


XV Interiors was born from a meeting of minds. Founder Izzey Hung had long nurtured a desire to reflect her love of the water—life on it and beneath it—drawing particular inspiration from the Isle of Wight and the Hampshire coastline she calls home. Frustrated by a lack of high-quality, sustainably made pieces that truly resonated, she recognised an opportunity to create something more meaningful. From this vision, XV Stripes was established.


A chance introduction to designer Vicky Sanders—formerly Head of Design at both Matthew Williamson and Zara Home—marked the beginning of the brand’s creative evolution. Together, they shaped the narrative and design language of XV, bringing to life a collection rooted in craftsmanship, storytelling, and a shared passion for coastal-inspired design.
