Who is Olive Augustus?

Modern goods with character.

I'm the one behind Olive Augustus - a woman-owned small business born from a love of upcycling, creating, collecting, and finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.

I've always been drawn to things with a little history, a little personality, or simply a really good story. Olive Augustus is where I get to bring those things together: modern finds, vintage-inspired pieces, handmade goods, and unexpected treasures that make you stop and think, "Well, that's interesting."

Some things I make. Some I discover. Some I reimagine. I'm not particularly interested in fitting everything into one neat little category - and that's intentional.

You'll find a little bit of mahjong, entertaining, home décor, pet goods, wearable pieces, and other playful finds along the way. The collection will keep evolving because, honestly, I never quite know what I'll fall in love with next.

I believe the things you bring into your home, wear, carry, gift, and gather around should have a little personality.

So, welcome to Olive Augustus—a collection of modern goods with character, curated by me for people who like their things a little less ordinary.

Thanks for visiting & come back often because... things change.

About the Name

Olive Augustus isn't just a name - it's the two best coworkers I've ever had. Olive is my 7-year-old rescue and the heart of this whole operation: part Poodle, part Pyrenees, part Terrier, and entirely her own thing (sensing a theme?). Auggie, our 4-year-old Goldendoodle, rounds out the team with enthusiasm, charm, and absolutely zero chill. They're the inspiration behind the pet goods, the constant company during every late-night creative session, and honestly, a pretty good representation of what this brand is all about - a little unexpected, a lot of personality, and impossible not to love.
