The Team

GIACINTA

Accessories Designer and Founder

Italian of origin, I am currently based in Barcelona after few years spent in Paris. I have been crazy about fashion since I was 5 years old. I remember that at that age, I was already cutting out catwalks’ pictures from my mom’s magazines to stick them into my “inspiration diary”. Trends detection and analysis in fashion, arts and lifestyle, along with the understanding of the motivations and meanings that underlie what we see., is my thing. I love to develop innovative products and designs, giving them a feminine and refined touch.
