AV CUSTOM FABRIC & THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT

Designer, Architect, Andrea Valentini's inspiration for designing textiles began with her awareness of sustainable materials and resources that were available to her within her local environment.  Born and raised around the historical textile mills of New England, she's experimented with creating her own textiles from repurposing industrial materials, designing molds and fabricating her signature fabrics into fashion accessories, bags and home furnishings since 2001. Neary 20 years later, She moved to the west coast, adapted a vegan lifestyle and fell in love with bio-based plant materials. Embracing an organic life with a modern sense of style, in 2024 she launched her latest Collection of Classically Designed Cactus Leather Bags for a New Generation of Eco Chic.
