The Brand
About Casa Valenti
What does "Casa Valenti" mean?
Casa Valenti translates to "House of the Brave" in Italian. The name speaks to our conviction that the boldest move in fashion today is to slow down, invest in real craft, and let materials speak louder than logos. It's a house built for those who wear their journeys.
What is The Grand Tour Collection?
The Grand Tour Collection is our SS26 debut — four city drops inspired by iconic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern destinations: Jaffa, Venice, Athens, and Cairo. Each city is rendered as a panoramic architectural illustration printed on pre-washed linen. The name is a tribute to the 18th-century tradition of the Grand Tour, when young travelers journeyed across Europe and the Mediterranean in search of art, beauty, and transformation.
When does Casa Valenti launch?
Casa Valenti launches Summer 2026. Join our waitlist for early access, exclusive pre-launch pricing, and first look at each city drop. Reserve your place here.
Where are your pieces made?
Our garments are crafted in China by specialist linen manufacturers who meet our standards for fabric quality, print precision, and ethical production. Every piece uses OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified linen, verified free of harmful substances. We visit our factories personally and work directly with the team that makes every shirt.
Materials
Fabric & Craftsmanship
What fabric do you use?
100% pre-washed linen. Linen is the oldest luxury textile in the world — it breathes better than cotton, dries faster, gets softer with every wash, and has a naturally beautiful slub texture. Our linen is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning it's verified free of harmful substances and safe against the skin.
Why pre-washed linen?
Pre-washing serves two purposes. First, it softens the fabric dramatically — so your shirt arrives feeling lived-in and luxurious, not stiff. Second, it pre-shrinks the linen, which means the fit you buy is the fit you keep. No surprises after the first wash.
How are the prints made?
We use digital reactive printing, a process where the ink chemically bonds with the linen fibers. Unlike screen printing, the artwork becomes part of the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. This means no cracking, no peeling, no fading. Each garment features an "engineered print" — a panoramic illustration sliced across the garment panels, so the artwork is composed specifically for that piece, not a random repeat.
What are the buttons made of?
Every button is natural coconut shell, hand-finished and sewn with cream linen thread. No plastic, no resin, no shortcuts. Each button is unique — the grain pattern and color vary slightly because they're cut from real coconut shells. They develop a beautiful patina with age.
Is linen sustainable?
Linen is one of the most sustainable fabrics in the world. The flax plant that produces linen needs four times less water than cotton, grows without irrigation in most climates, requires minimal pesticides, and every part of the plant is used. It's also biodegradable at the end of its life. When you choose linen, you're choosing a textile humans have been making sustainably for over 10,000 years.
Sizing
Fit & Sizing
How does your sizing run?
Our sizing runs true to size with a relaxed resort fit. Our pieces are designed to drape, not cling — built for warm weather, movement, and effortless confidence. If you prefer a trimmer silhouette, consider sizing down. If you want a true Mediterranean drape, stay true to size. Our full size guide with measurements is here.
What sizes do you offer?
All garments are available in XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. Our tote bag is one size. If you fall between sizes or have specific fit questions, email us at casavalentib@gmail.com and we'll help you find the perfect fit before you order.
Will my shirt shrink?
No. All Casa Valenti pieces are pre-washed before construction, which pre-shrinks the fabric. Your shirt will arrive at its final size and will not shrink with normal washing. It will only get softer and more beautiful with time.

Absolutely. The fastest way to exchange is to return your original piece for a refund and place a new order in the correct size — this ensures you get the size you want before it sells out. If you're unsure about sizing, email us before ordering and we'll help.
Will there be restocks?
Each city drop is produced in limited quantities. Some pieces may restock based on demand, but the engineered prints are seasonal — once a drop is gone, it's gone. This is part of why we do city drops: each collection is a moment, not an evergreen product line.
Care
Caring for Your Linen
How do I wash my linen?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Wash with similar colors. You can tumble dry on low heat or hang dry — hang drying preserves the fabric longest. Iron on medium heat while slightly damp for the crispest finish, or embrace the natural linen wrinkle which is part of the fabric's character. Do not bleach.
Will the print fade?
No. Because we use digital reactive printing, the ink bonds chemically with the linen fibers rather than sitting on top of the fabric. The print is permanent and will not crack, peel, or fade with normal washing. Your shirt will look beautiful for years.
My linen has small irregularities — is that a defect?
No — these are natural slubs. Linen is a natural fiber, and small variations in texture, thread thickness, and occasional slubs are inherent characteristics of the fabric. They're not defects. They're part of what makes each piece unique and what gives linen its beautiful, tactile quality.
