AV CUSTOM FABRIC & THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT

Andrea Valentini is a female founder, artist, and designer with nearly two decades of experience transforming materials into distinctive textiles and products. Growing up around the historic textile mills of New England, Andrea developed an early passion for sustainability, experimenting since 2001 with repurposed industrial materials, custom-designed molds, and her signature fabrics.

After relocating to the West Coast and embracing a vegan lifestyle, Andrea expanded her focus to bio-based plant materials. In 2024, she launched her latest collection: a line of classically designed cactus leather bags, bringing timeless style to a new generation of eco-conscious consumers.

Her work spans fashion accessories, bags, and home furnishings, all marked by innovation and a commitment to eco-conscious design.
