About Us

About NIOVI FORBES,
Founder and Creative Director of OXUM

Oxum NYC was created to inspire and celebrate the time spent at home with loved ones. Niovi, looking for a new direction in business with genuine human connection and meaning, launched Oxum NYC company late in 2019 after several years as a successful fashion designer. She has made Oxum's top priority to be empowering and employing NYC women and mothers who have experienced extreme abuse and are in the process of rebuilding their lives.

Each Oxumnyc piece is one-of-a-kind and is a physical representation of the beauty found in natural imperfections and ancient traditions. Every piece is created to inspire sharing, togetherness, warmth and most importantly, the quiet and evocative message of gratitude for the day to day rituals that sustain us.
