About us

Koxy Lifestyle is an independent artist and maker's shop, founded by Eva Thyhøj in 2020. We offer a wide variety of high-quality, handmade work, with new and unique pieces always arriving. Our shop is run by a collective of over 40 local artists and makers, who not only sell their creations here but also help run the space, creating a special connection between our customers and the creatives behind the work.

Originally from Denmark, Eva moved to the UK over 30 years ago and spent years working in London’s fashion industry before relocating to Bristol, where she designed and made her own clothing. After successfully running a maker’s pop-up shop at Windmill Hill City Farm for several years, Eva felt the pull of South Wales and eventually settled in Chepstow, where Koxy Lifestyle was born.

Our shop is housed in a historic 400-year-old building that once served as a pub, first known as the Ship, and later as the Bridge. Though it’s been closed for the past decade, the rich history—and the friendly ghosts!—remain. So whether you're looking for something special or just curious, come and visit us, or feel free to get in touch through our contact page. We’d love to see you!
