HER STORY
A Life in Creation
Born in Haiti, Phelicia Dell grew up surrounded by a rich world of color, symbolism, craftsmanship, and cultural expression. These early influences shaped her artistic sensitivity and inspired a lifelong desire to preserve and reinterpret the stories of her heritage. Her creative journey evolved through art, design, travel, and a deep exploration of Haitian identity. Over time, she developed a distinctive visual language that brings together ancestral symbolism, contemporary elegance, and the beauty of the human hand. Through the House of VèVè, Phelicia transforms cultural memory into meaningful objects of luxury. Each creation reflects her belief that fashion can be more than decoration, t can carry identity, honor craftsmanship, and connect the past with the future.

A Letter from Phelicia
My journey with the House of VèVè began with a desire to create something that could hold memory, meaning, and beauty in equal measure.
Haiti has always been at the heart of my imagination. Its colors, symbols, textures, traditions, and extraordinary creative spirit continue to shape the way I see the world. Through VèVè, I seek to honor that heritage while allowing it to evolve through a contemporary language of art, fashion, and luxury.
Every creation begins with a story. Sometimes it is inspired by a symbol, a landscape, a cultural memory, or the quiet intelligence of an artisan’s hand. From the first sketch to the final detail, each piece is developed with patience, intention, and respect for the traditions that inform it.
I believe luxury should be more than appearance. It should carry emotion. It should reveal the presence of the maker, the depth of the inspiration, and the values behind the object. This belief guides every collection and every decision we make at the House.
My hope is that every person who encounters our work feels a sense of connection, connection to artistry, to heritage, and to the stories that deserve to be carried forward. The House of VèVè is my invitation to experience Haitian creativity through a new lens: one rooted in authenticity, shaped by craftsmanship, and open to the future.
