Van Kappell was born out of a desire for something more meaningful, something deeper than the superficiality I encountered in my early days working in fashion. I’ve always been drawn to beauty—not the fleeting kind that’s worn and discarded—but the kind of beauty that stays with you, that adds richness to your life.
It wasn’t about creating new products, but about curating vintage pieces that carry stories of their own. I wanted to offer items that help people find peace, connection, and a sense of ritual in their everyday lives. Each piece in the collection has been thoughtfully chosen, meant to invite reflection and presence into your personal space. The rituals you create around these objects are yours—whether it’s lighting a candle, holding a tarot reading, or simply creating moments of stillness.
Launching this collection feels like more than a business decision; it’s a culmination of years spent healing, reflecting, and realizing how much I want to bring that same peace to others. I’ve been there—feeling the heaviness of grief, navigating the uncertainty of change. Through it all, rituals became my guide back to myself. I hope these pieces can do the same for you.
Van Kappell is here to remind you that even in the busiest or most challenging times, there is always room for a little stillness, a little light, and a little magic.
Thank you for being here,
