OUR STORY
The Roots Of Olive & Cord's Collections
( Origin Story )
Olive & Cord has received years of love, observation, and intention.
The evolution of Olive & Cord has unfolded slowly and thoughtfully (with many snacks) to arrive at an offering that embodies everything within it.
The recipes represent a method for slowness; an attentive course on culture and tradition.
The artisan products are the result of countless conversations and connections with artisans who represent Mediterranean craftsmanship.
And the rituals that thread every piece and pause together become the sustenance for more meaningful moments.
( Our Philosophy )
From drowsy, sun-drenched afternoons spent alone, to intimate conversations that catch and carry through narrow cobblestone streets – we hope each collection is an everlasting invitation to stay grounded in a life worth savouring.
As our journey continues from our home in Sicily, each collection is shaped not only by the places we visit, but by the rhythms of everyday Mediterranean life—shared tables, seasonal ingredients, slow mornings, and the quiet rituals that remind us there is beauty in living well.
I've always been drawn to the quiet sensory details...
The way afternoon light settles across a wall.
The sound of a spoon stirring a teacup.
The scent of something warm simmering in the kitchen.
So much of Olive & Cord comes from noticing the beauty in moments that are often overlooked.
— Founder, Jennifer Pherson
( Belonging )
Olive & Cord places a sense of belonging in every box. It’s the idea that we’re all knitted together by the knowledge of others padding tenderly around worn kitchen benches – rustling through drawers in a quiet haste to open their monthly curation.
Seemingly done in solace with only whispers of tissue paper bearing witness; this ritual has become an experience shared in spirit.
We are intrinsically threaded together.
