Beloved Vintage Purveyor Alexia Ioannou Expands With a New Collaboration


My vintage Dior by Galliano dice mules in a seagrass hue—that shoe basically launched my business,” says Alexia Ioannou, founder of Nou, the online vintage destination. “I was like, Do the girls not know these are rare vintage?” she says, laughing. Since the originals were impossible to get, she gave her fans rare Manolos, archival Celine, cheetah-print Zanottis. And then, vintage homeware. “If you’re sourcing vintage shoes and clothes, you’re also coming across amazing homeware.” Now, Ioannou is taking her vision further with a set of vintage-inspired (but newly made) tumblers created with Lazy Jamie, the brand founded by Jamie Lenore McKillop in 2022.

The collaboration began when McKillop posted a pair of vintage Murano goblets; Ioannou messaged immediately—“I am obsessed.” The duo have now developed a pair of spotted-glass tumblers in two colorways: amber brown and cobalt blue. They’re Murano style, not true Murano—a conscious decision to keep costs low. “They want that look, but without that price tag,” says McKillop of their younger clientele. “They’re not going to spend $50 on a glass, but they might spend $40 for the set.” As for how they’ll be used: “There’s that trope of the desk lined with drinks—a green juice, a coffee, a water,” says McKillop. “But maybe it’s a chic cup you put your pencils or utensils in.”

When we speak, Ioannou is in Portugal, toggling between early production on her upcoming shoe line and hunting for new treasures for the home. Her approach to curation remains the same across fashion and interiors: Follow the feeling. While Nou’s vintage fashion offerings mostly nod to late-’90s and early-aughts glamour, its homewares are era-agnostic—sourced as early as the ’40s or ’50s and curated by mood. Ioannou resists neat categorization, and it’s tricky to predict where she will go next. “I have a garage full of stuff I’m just waiting to put online,” she says.
