Company
Visjou is a start-up company founded in 2012 by the husband
and wife team of Anthony Sjostrom and Amanda Codina. Anthony and Amanda are passionate about
travel, so when time and finances allow, they love to get out and explore the
world around them. It was during the planning phase of the couple’s first
European trip together, a 60th Birthday celebration for Amanda’s
mother, that the duo first identified a significant gap in the market. Amanda,
in preparation for their upcoming travels, had set out to find what would be appropriate,
efficient, and stylish to pack and wear while on their Emerald Isle Vacation.
To both Amanda and Tony’s surprise her search came up empty handed. This same
scenario repeated itself yet again, when two years later, the couple found
themselves about to embark on another European Vacation. Shocked that this gap
still existed in the marketplace Anthony and Amanda decided to get to work on
building a company that would fulfill this need. Thus Visjou, which stands for
visual journey, was created. Visjou is a social based community where people
who are passionate about fashion and have a love for travel come together to create Lookbooks
based on what they would recommend others pack and wear while traveling to
locations across the globe. It is our hope that Visjou will become a crucial
and yet enjoyable resource in everyone’s trip planning process.
