About the Artist

From Venezuela and now established in Charleston, SC, Valentina Di Zio is the artistic mind (and hands) behind Miel y Verde.

Since childhood, Valentina loved experimenting with different art mediums, from painting and origami to mural creations and sewing. "Growing up, I saw how my mom would lose herself in every painting she created, and seeing my grandmother’s custom creations sparked an artistic curiosity inside of me."

Valentina started sewing at the age of 17 behind a clothing shop in Mérida, Venezuela. There, she learned to draft patterns and transform them into her first garments, fueling her desire to delve deeper into the art of creating wearable pieces from just a few measurements.
Miel y Verde was founded by Valentina and her sister Paola with ambitions beyond our gorgeous and fashionable bags, so don’t hesitate to join us—we're aiming for greatness!
