About LXURI: Our Story

Meet the Founders

Dennis Welsh, Co-Founder

Dennis Welsh helps lead LXURI’s editorial direction, brand development, digital marketing and partner relationships. He brings 30 years of experience in marketing, communications, and business management.

Dennis oversees much of the content published through THE EDIT by LXURI, helping shape its guides, brand profiles, trend coverage and lifestyle features. His approach is grounded in making information clear and useful while maintaining the refined editorial perspective that defines LXURI.

He believes a modern luxury platform should do more than showcase beautiful products and destinations. It should help readers understand what makes something distinctive, who it may suit and how it can add value to their lives.

Darrin Cohen, Co-Founder

Darrin Cohen brings a complementary business, creative, and design perspective to LXURI. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design from the University of Illinois and has operated his own interior design business for over 26 years. His design experience helps shape the partners and content that LXURI provides to its readers.

Darrin contributes to LXURI’s strategic direction, commercial development and approach to curation. His perspective helps ensure that the platform balances inspiration with usability and that its featured brands, products and experiences align with the broader LXURI vision.

He shares the belief that luxury should feel personal rather than prescriptive. The most worthwhile choices are not necessarily the loudest or most expensive; they are the ones that combine quality, relevance, thoughtful design and lasting enjoyment.

Our Editorial Methodology

Trust depends on being clear about how our content is created. LXURI researches a broad range of products, brands, hotels and experiences, but we do not personally purchase, test or visit everything we cover.

When a product or experience has been personally tested, used or visited by a member of our team, we will state that clearly. We will not imply first-hand experience where none exists.

For researched guides and features, our editorial process may include reviewing:
Official product specifications and materials
Brand and retailer information
Pricing, availability and warranty details
Hotel and destination information
Independent customer feedback
Reputable industry publications
Professional reviews and expert commentary
Brand history, design philosophy and publicly available company information
Relevance to LXURI’s audience and editorial categories

We compare available information and look for qualities such as craftsmanship, design integrity, functionality, reputation, distinctiveness and overall value. For travel coverage, we may also consider location, amenities, architecture, service offering, guest experience and the character of the destination.

Our inclusion of a product, hotel or brand should not be interpreted as a guarantee that it will be right for every reader. Preferences, fit, performance, prices, availability and travel experiences can vary. We encourage readers to review current information directly with the retailer, brand, hotel or booking provider before making a purchase or reservation.

How We Select What to Feature

LXURI does not aim to cover everything. We focus on products and experiences that we believe are relevant to readers interested in quality, design, travel, culture and elevated living.

A feature may be selected because it demonstrates notable craftsmanship, solves a practical problem particularly well, introduces an interesting creative perspective or represents a meaningful development within its category. We also consider whether the subject provides enough substance for a useful story rather than simply promotional exposure.

Some featured companies are LXURI affiliates or commercial partners. Those relationships may influence which brands and products we can present, but they do not determine our stated opinions. We aim to distinguish clearly between editorial content, partner features and advertising.

Affiliate Relationships and Editorial Independence

Some links on LXURI are affiliate links. If a reader follows one of these links and completes a purchase or booking, LXURI may receive a commission at no additional cost to the reader.

Affiliate revenue helps support the operation of the website and the creation of new content. However, compensation does not guarantee a positive review, prevent us from discussing limitations or replace our responsibility to provide clear and accurate information.

We disclose affiliate relationships prominently and encourage readers to consult our full Affiliate Disclosure for additional information.

Accuracy, Updates and Corrections

Products, prices, promotions, hotel offerings and availability can change. We review and update priority content when practical, but readers should always confirm time-sensitive details with the company providing the product or service. Material corrections are identified within the affected article when the nature of the change could influence a reader’s understanding or decision.

If we discover a material factual error, we will correct it. Readers, brands and partners are welcome to contact us when they believe information requires clarification or updating. We assess correction requests against reliable evidence and retain editorial control over the final content.
