Cristiane Valez is a confident and experienced designer with a background in theatre. Her sense of adventure has led her to develop unique styles. She works closely with a carefully selected team of artisans, creating a bold look which fuses high fashion with traditional artistry. Her handmade styles feature an innovative technique for crocheting malleable metals to craft goods that are both stylish and timeless.
"My pieces are designed to make heads turn. That's a strong statement, but it's true," asserts Cristiane. "When I design handbags and accessories, I want them to become conversation pieces. They are unashamedly feminine and glamorous. I try to combine some elements of fun with the distinct aura of chic that comes naturally to people from Brazil, like me.
"I am bold in the choice of materials. My purses, bags, belts, and accessories combine semi-precious stones, beads and high-quality crystals, which are all native to South America. I am now introducing an exciting new product line combining elements of leather with my traditional designs, maintaining the look of fun and fashion.
"My intention is to create wearable art for women who are confident and stylish."
