Alexandra Tolstoy is an adventurer, author, mother, TV presenter and relative of Leo Tolstoy. Her family heritage, adventurous travels and instinctive eye for design led to the creation of The Tolstoy Edit, a curated shop of her favourite interiors discoveries.
From rare vintage pieces and hand-crafted antiques, to finds from Alexandra’s regular journeys across Kyrgyzstan, her unique, regularly-updated collection showcases remarkable craftsmanship and expert skills passed down through generations.
Alexandra collaborates with well-known design brands to create her own elegant pieces, including for Love Your Home and Brora. She also arranges bespoke horse riding adventures in Kyrgyzstan and owns Tolstoy Cottage, a unique rental property in the Cotswolds.
