ALIENINA
Learn More About ALIENINA
The story of ALIENINA begins with a different way of looking at materials.
Where others might see sailing rope, climbing cord or industrial cotton as purely functional, founder Eliana Venier saw texture, character and possibility. Since 2008, that perspective has shaped every collection, transforming unexpected materials into handcrafted accessories that feel both contemporary and enduring.
At House of Valerie, we're always drawn to designers who challenge expectations through craftsmanship rather than excess. ALIENINA does exactly that, creating accessories that celebrate the beauty of honest materials and the hands that shape them.
The Beauty Of The Unexpected
ALIENINA was founded in Umbria by Italian designer Eliana Venier, whose vision was refreshingly simple. Everyday materials deserved a second life.
Rather than beginning with traditional leather or precious embellishment, she looked towards ropes, cords and natural fibres that already carried strength, texture and history. Through weaving, knotting and careful construction, those materials became distinctive bags, belts and accessories unlike anything else.
Today, Eliana continues to guide the brand alongside Pilar Concheiro, remaining true to the same philosophy that inspired the collection from the very beginning.
Every Knot Has A Purpose
Spend a little time with an ALIENINA piece and the craftsmanship becomes impossible to overlook.
Every accessory is handmade by skilled artisans in Umbria using traditional techniques that have been passed from one generation to the next. The weaving isn't simply decorative. It gives each design its structure and unmistakable identity.
At House of Valerie, we appreciate that nothing feels rushed or too manufactured. Small variations become part of the finished piece, reminding us that each accessory has been created by hand rather than produced by machine.
Tradition Finds A New Voice
Although the techniques behind ALIENINA are rooted in traditional craft, the finished designs feel entirely contemporary.
Natural cotton ropes sit alongside biodegradable leather, whilst sculptural forms give familiar materials a completely new purpose. The collection respects heritage without ever feeling nostalgic, allowing age-old craftsmanship to find its place within a modern wardrobe.
For us, that's where ALIENINA sits so naturally within House of Valerie. The accessories feel distinctive without asking for attention, adding texture and personality in a way that feels considered rather than decorative.
