About The Sybarite

Founded in 2014 by CEO and Editor-in-Chief John Cofie, The Sybarite has existed as a platform for all things luxury since. But where does the unique name come from?

The etymology of Sybarite can be traced back to the Greek "Subaritēs", inhabitants of the Ancient Greek city of Sybaris in Southern Italy, near modern day Corigliano, Italy.

Known for its wealth & the luxury of its inhabitants, the ancient city of Sybaris has contributed to the modern meaning of sybarite, as well as encompassing what it means to be a member of The Sybarite community:

"a person who is self-indulgent in their fondness for sensuous luxury."
