About Us

Hey! I'm Elise, owner of Octave & Rose!

I'm a wife and a mother of two wonderful kids, who inspired the name of my boutique. In 2022, my husband and I made a big move to the United States from France, and it's here that my dream of opening my own shop came to life. For me, America has always represented the place where anything is possible, and Octave & Rose is the symbol of that dream come true.

O&R is a curated lifestyle brand to empower women in every season of their life. I started in 2022 designing crewnecks and tees to inspire women to create a life they love with my French touch. Owning a shop has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. I remember walking into the small boutiques in our hometown with my mom and my sister and we would find those unique pieces that would just elevate our wardrobe in the slightest ways. They were those pieces you knew you'd keep forever.

Since becoming a mother that desire and almost need for starting a shop became stronger. The one thing that gets taken from us when we become a mother is time. We're constantly looking for the how-to get ready faster hacks, dry shampoo becomes our best friend, we don't have the time to look online or shop in-store because let's be real, who wants to bring in a baby or toddler into a shop when trying on clothes? I've handpicked and curated pieces that will help you to get ready faster and easier. My goal is to help every woman feel comfortable, confident, and stylish, no matter what stage of life she's in.

I also want you to know this is me, Elise behind here. I'm ready to help answer any fit, styling, or sizing questions!  You can reach me on my Instagram Shop page and my Personal Page (@ellyhappytimes). So make sure you're following along for new collection drops and all the lifestyle tips!

I’m truly so grateful here! I hope you find a little something today that makes you feel your best!

With love

Elise
