Ever since I was a little girl, fashion has captivated me. It wasn’t just about clothing — it was my way of exploring new worlds, discovering different versions of myself, and expressing what words couldn’t always say. That love only grew stronger with time, and I knew deep down that one day, I would build something of my own.
Since then, I’ve embarked on a journey to push the boundaries of self-expression through design. I took fashion courses around the world — including at some of the most respected universities — and each class, each collaboration brought me closer to the dream that is now Riviera Reverie.
My degree in civil engineering gave me more than just technical skill — it taught me how to approach life with purpose, to think optimally, and to always do the right thing, even when no one is watching.
The idea for Riviera Reverie was born during a summer vacation in 2023, while traveling with my beloved husband and son. I was walking through Via Camerelle, soaking in its vibrant rhythm, when a thought struck me — how many more years would I let my dream remain a dream? In that moment, I knew I had to act. I envisioned creating something lightweight, breathable, and reflective of the confident, feminine style I longed for — in the most sustainable way possible.
A year later, the inspiration deepened during our travels along the French Riviera, where I found the essence of the brand — effortless beauty, freedom, and reverie. That’s when Riviera Reverie took its name: a tribute to the sun-drenched coasts and the dreamy feeling of true relaxation.
This brand is my love letter to women like me — women who want to feel beautiful and comfortable, while dressing for themselves with joy and intention.
With all my heart,
