About Us

Fauve Life, a company founded by Ivy Bowne in 2016, is a lifestyle brand that strives to fill each day with wonder and creativity.

Starting out with original handmade silver jewelry and a love for the beach, Ivy Bowne hand crafted and designed her signature Fauve Life silver pieces, delicately sculpted beach and sea icons.

Throughout the years Fauve Life expanded to leather goods after a trip to Italy where friendships and connections were formed. This offered FL a collaborative exchange  of designs and ideas. While Bownes’ silver jewelry and the much loved Italian handbags remain a staple of the FL brand, a lifelong love of the beach.

In 2021 Fauve Life expanded into marine upholstery. A one of a kind unique branch of Fauve Life features custom boat upholstery, boat and outdoor canvas covers as well as Strataglass™ enclosure pieces. Featuring high quality materials and meticulous techniques, this side of Fauve Life has grown over the years working with different marinas along the New Jersey shore, as well some private residences in Florida.
