Bella figura, made effortless.
In Italy, bella figura is the art of presenting yourself beautifully: being well put together, at ease, and quietly confident in how you show up. It isn't about excess. It's about care; in the fabric you choose, the way a dress moves, and how you feel when you walk into a room.
At Luxe de Valentina, we design for exactly that feeling.
Our Story
Luxe de Valentina was founded in Sydney in 2018 by Emma. She wanted to bring together exquisite fabrics and distinctive silhouettes in an expression of modern femininity. Long hemlines, considered detailing and a sense of romance define our signature style: sophisticated, never stiff.
For Emma, dressing well is about finding the right look for the occasion and feeling wonderful in it. Our pieces are made for every occasion, from everyday ease to wedding celebrations, summer black tie and holidays somewhere beautiful.
With a loyal following including some of fashion and society’s most stylish women, our collections have been sold in David Jones, Harvey Nichols, The Four Seasons Palm Springs, Little Palm Island, The Sugar Mill and boutiques across Australia and New Zealand.
What matters to us
Fabric & Fit first. Every piece begins with the fabric. We choose luxurious textiles that feel as good as they look, and we often work with remnant fabrics, which gives each collection its own sense of discovery.
Small runs, limited editions. We make in small quantities, never in excess. Once a fabric is gone, a piece may never return in quite the same way, so what you wear is rarely what everyone else is wearing. We take pride in working with makers who care and much effort goes into ensuring our product is of the highest quality.
Made with care. Our pieces are designed in Sydney and made alongside small, bespoke makers here at home and trusted partners overseas in China. We keep our production close and our runs small so we know where and how each piece is made.
Considered fit. We design versatile pieces with thoughtful fits so they become wardrobe favourites you can turn to again and again, with confidence.
“My vision is to create collections that will withstand the test of time. When I launched the brand in 2018, my desire was to offer classic, dramatic pieces that echoed quality over quantity, but above all versatility. That's what continues to set Luxe de Valentina apart.”
