Vivi et Margot, an Online French Brocante by Way of LA

British-born Charlotte Reiss relocated to the US a while back to manage modeling agencies including Wilhelmina and The Lions in Los Angeles, but her sideline is interior design (she calls herself a “closet Francophile”). When she’s not in LA, she and her husband and their two daughters spend as much time as possible in rural France, where they own a house they’ve been restoring for the past four years. Her side gig has morphed into a business called Vivi et Margot (named after her two daughters), an online brocante where she sells quintessentially French homewares she finds on her frequent visits. Here’s a look at the offerings.
