The Ivy Hour Coffee Mug

The Ivy Hour started with the coffee cup. It's evolved to tea cups, wine glasses and thermos mugs. That's because the Ivy Hour was born not in a boardroom or brainstorm—but in the soft in-between moments of a life lived with quiet intention.

Its origins trace back to the 1906 and the private garden terrace of Caroline Rhodes, a former fashion publicist turned interior curator, who stepped away from the industry at 52 to reclaim her pace. Nestled along the coastline in New England, her home—Stonebridge Cottage—was known for its stone lined paths, aged brick, winding ivy, and the ritual she observed each evening at 5:00 sharp: a simple hour of stillness.

No phones. No obligations. Just candlelight, soft music, a linen-wrapped journal, and her signature mug of creamed coffee in the winter and her lemon herbal spritz in the summer.

What began as personal sanctuary soon became a whispered ritual among her close circle—authors, designers, art dealers, and thinkers—who would stop in to see her and always ask: “Are we in time for The Ivy Hour?”

Word spread, and before long, The Ivy Hour had evolved into more than a pause—it became a philosophy. One that suggested true luxury wasn’t found in things, but in time well held, moments well kept, and presence well practiced. Caroline understood "the art of the elegant pause."
