Meet the Founder

I’m Carlota Valeria, founder and creative director behind the brand.

Fashion has always been my language. From the very beginning, I was driven by one ambition: to create pieces that celebrate femininity, inspire confidence and leave a lasting impression. I’ve always believed that true luxury isn’t simply about what a woman wears, it’s about how she feels the moment she puts it on.

Everything changed during my first journey through Asia.

It was there that I discovered the Sarong in its place of origin. More than a garment, it represented centuries of craftsmanship, culture and artistry. I was captivated by its versatility and by the stories woven into every piece. In that moment, I knew I wanted to honour its heritage while reimagining it as a luxury silk creation for the modern woman.

Designed to accompany her through every chapter of life, each sarong is created to bring elegance, femininity and effortless sophistication to every occasion.

I wanted to transform a timeless tradition into something women could treasure not only for remarkable celebrations, but for every moment that deserves to feel extraordinary.

Every collection begins with a blank page. Each floral print is hand illustrated, with every flower carefully chosen to express an emotion. My background in bridal design shaped the way I create, teaching me that the most meaningful pieces are never chosen by chance.

I’ve always believed that a wedding dress chooses its bride just as much as she chooses it.

I believe the same is true of my sarongs.

Every design has its own character, waiting to find the woman it was created for.

That belief lies at the heart of everything I do.

My vision is to establish Carlota Valeria as the world’s leading house for luxury silk sarongs, creating timeless collections that women cherish, collect and pass down through generations.

I hope you find the sarong that has been waiting for you.
