who I am

I am Valentina and I have always been fascinated by the influence that colors have on individuals. 

In 2014, a solo trip to Bali changed my life forever, introducing me to wonderful people, yoga and meditation.

I started "knotting beads" in 2016, at a very painful time in my life. I made the first mala for myself: that repeated movement was for me a kind of healing for the soul, a way to get in deep contact with what I was feeling, to deal with it. To stimulate creativity, to discover the influence the stones have on each of us, to look at the colors. This was my cure.

And then I didn't stop anymore, and in 2018 I Mala di Vale was born.

Many of my creations are made from elements found in my travels, and I love to reinterpret them while maintaining their charm of origin. Each mala I create is filled with intention, good energy, and love, and I will be happy to create one especially for you!

"We are born makers. We move what we are learning from our heads to our hearts through our hands."
