About charlie & the fox

Charlie & the Fox started in 2009 in south London, we got the name from my sister’s nickname (Charlie) and my nickname (Fox). Also a little bit influenced by the cute fox family that was by us, I drew one of the cubs and that became the logo.

The little fox family was so cute, and a bit cheeky by stealing any random thing by the back door (they love gloves).

It started as a creative outlet for my love of handmade things, I wanted to make things others would love. Beginning really slowly, the online store has only been online for a while (since September 2009).

About Roxy

I’m also known as: Rox, Foxy, Fox, Foxanne. That’s a whole other story, I’ll stick with Roxy. I’m 23 years old and graduated from uni in 2008 with a degree in Digital Broadcast Media.

The Charlie & the Fox website and this blog are my babies, I loved working on them (still do). I’ve gotten to grips with CSS, HTML and a little PHP. It was daunting at first but I love it.

I’ve always been running around screaming and being “creative”, less screaming now. When I was a kid my parents gave me the freedom to be myself and do what I loved, I’m so grateful for that as I know I wouldn’t be who I am now if it wasn’t for them.

I’m my happiest when I’m drawing and painting, when I was 7 I painted my chest of drawers in watercolours. Afterwards I panicked that my mum would be mad at me, surprisingly she just laughed and said she loved it!

My grandma had taught me to sew and knit before I could recite the alphabet, and I went straight to sewing machines. Sewing, painting, drawing and general crazy is me.

Love so many things and so many people, sometimes I feel that I say ‘I love this’ too much but it’s not a lie. I really do love it. I adore taking photos, I have an old 70s film camera. The colours come out amazing. I can slowly feel an obsession with cameras coming on. 

I love: the sound of rain, cupcakes, sushi, Iranian food, Italian food, music playlists, singing badly, trying to speak French in Paris, getting the train and bus (not in rush hour), my cameras, coffee, baking, cooking, people watching, daydreaming, thunder, little dogs and all my little obsessions.
