Meet the founder

My name is Caroline, and Reyca has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I've always been drawn to beautiful things — thoughtful design, meaningful pieces, and spaces that feel warm, inviting, and lived in. I love hosting, I love gathering people around a table, and I get genuinely excited about the details — a well-set table, soft textures, and objects that simply feel good to have around.

I also have a deep appreciation for pieces made with care. I love discovering items inspired by artisans and creators from different places, and bringing them together in a way that feels simple, beautiful, and accessible.

I spent most of my working life in the restaurant business — an industry built on making people feel welcomed and at ease. That same instinct carried over into how I think about spaces and the objects that fill them. Even my first apartment at 22 was something I was proud of — warm, personal, and put together with care rather than a big budget.

I've spent most of my life moving — between cities, countries, and cultures. I lived two and a half years in Taiwan, over a year in Paris, four months in London, and have traveled to more places than I can count. Every destination left something with me — a piece of art picked up at a local market, a handwoven bag from a small stall, a blanket that still reminds me of the person who made it.

Some of my most treasured memories are of local markets. In Taiwan, I could spend hours wandering through them, coming home with the most beautiful little things for next to nothing. There is something deeply personal about buying directly from the hands that made something — it gives an object a story, and that story lives in your home for years.

Reyca is the natural next chapter. It is my way of bringing together everything I love — thoughtful design, handmade pieces, and the belief that a beautiful home doesn't require a lot of money. Just intention, and a few pieces that truly mean something. Ideas, inspiration, and pieces I truly love — one item at a time.

With love, Caroline
