Our Manifest

We don’t believe in shapewear that promises transformation.
We believe in soft fabrics, muted tones, and honest silhouettes.
It’s about feeling real — in your skin, in your space, in what you wear.

Where it started

This brand was born in the quiet chaos between 23:47 and 00:03 —
after the kids' bedtime routines, the unanswered work emails,
and the long pause between who you were and who you’re becoming.

I’m the founder. I hit that wall at 35.

They call it a "midlife crisis."

I’d call it a soft explosion — nothing loud, just everything shifting inside.

What once defined me — ambition, youth, fierceness — suddenly didn’t fit.
I wanted clothes that understood me. So I made them.

Who it's for

Bon & Xilo is for anyone who’s lived, loved, lost sleep, and still gives a damn about what they wear.

Not to impress — but to reconnect.
To carry their former self gently into the now.
To feel seen, even when no one’s looking.

About freedom

Sure, the old kind of freedom —
spontaneous getaways, last-minute plans, disappearing without explanation —
that’s probably not coming back anytime soon.

But the freedom inside us —
to feel, to express, to exist without apology — that’s still here.

And what we wear can remind us.

Call it soft armor.
Emotional gear.
A uniform for people who’ve seen some things.
For those navigating midlife with fewer f*cks, more softness, and enough style to still feel dangerous. As ourselves.

Bon & Xilo — born in Berlin, a city that raves all night, but we need our beauty sleep.
