CARTOLINA,
IT'S POSTCARD IN ITALIAN

CARPE DIEM SPIRIT

Starting CARTOLINA was a leap of faith during one of the most challenging times in my life—my recovery from breast cancer. Being diagnosed at age 48 was a profound wow-moment, reminding me just how fleeting life can be.

Having lost my mother far too soon, I felt an even deeper sense of urgency. She was a remarkable woman—glamorous, adventurous, and always full of life. CARTOLINA is my tribute to her spirit, an ode to the joy and vibrancy she embodied.

In creating CARTOLINA, I pour my heart into every detail, from the fabrics we select to the timeless styles we offer. This brand is not just about clothing; it’s about celebrating life, resilience, and the beauty of memories. Each piece reflects the love and strength I carry from my mother, serving as a reminder to live fully and embrace every moment.

CARTOLINA is for those who cherish quality, style, and the stories behind what they wear. Join me on this journey, where every piece isa tribute to love, joy, and the indelible bond between a mother and daughter.
