Marialbina: Arte que se lleva puesto.
En Marialbina ya somos un equipo y esto es en lo que creemos.
Marialbina no empezó para hacer moda o seguir tendencias. Empezó con un lienzo.
Cada diseño nace de una pintura, de una emoción convertida en forma y color. Después llega la seda. La seda que respira. La seda que refleja la luz. La seda que transforma el arte en movimiento.
Creemos en las piezas que toman tiempo. En los materiales nobles. En los detalles que casi no se ven, pero que hacen toda la diferencia.
No creemos en producir más. Creemos en crear mejor. Por eso, nuestras colecciones son pequeñas. Cada diseño se plasma en una edición limitada: una obra que viaja del estudio de pintura a la vida de una mujer.
Creemos en el estilo atemporal, que supere generaciones; por eso, hacemos productos de calidad.
Creamos para las mujeres con mirada propia. Las que no siguen a otros. Las que eligen. Las que entienden que el estilo no es cantidad, es identidad.
Marialbina es arte transformado en seda. Arte que se lleva puesto.
From María Albina to Marialbina
“Marialbina” comes from “María Albina.” It’s more than a brand: it’s me. The name is uncommon in my country, and I’m proud that it was my great-grandmother’s name. Her name was important to me when I was little, and it still is. So I chose “Marialbina” as the name for my brand. It keeps my name, but with a special twist. It’s unique and modern, like my timeless scarves.
“Marialbina” is my art and my love. Each scarf holds a piece of my identity. I hope they hold great meaning for those who wear them. It’s more than a name: it honors my roots, the love, and the beauty of the art that connects us.
I am not a fashion designer.
I'm not a fashion or graphic designer; I studied interior design. But my fascination with fabrics began long before that. Everything about textiles—their textures, their prints—has captivated me since I was a child. A beautiful childhood memory is watching my mother sew a summer dress for me from cotton bed sheets. It featured Betsey Clark's Onion Head doll designs, especially on the bodice. I loved it. This magical moment ignited my curiosity for creativity. Although I never learned to sew, my passion for fabrics endured. I'm not a fashion expert, but an artist with a family steeped in design. My love for art, design, and textiles gave life to a unique brand of silk scarves that reflect my soul. Creativity knows no bounds in my world. Marialbina Scarves offers another artistic voice. My background in interior design and my family's creative heritage intertwine in a unique tapestry. As an artist, I am the driving force behind Marialbina: an extension of my soul and a tribute to the textile wonders that have fascinated me since that first summer dress handmade by my mother.
How it all began
One pleasant afternoon, after enjoying a delicious lunch at a hotel in Lima, Peru, my sister and I went to the hotel shop to browse for a while. After a few minutes, she chose a silk scarf that, frankly, wasn't very pretty.
I told her, "It's awful." (I love her style, so her choice surprised me.)
She smiled, folded the scarf, and artfully wrapped it around her neck. It looked spectacular.
Then he told me, “It’s all in the color.”
At that moment, I knew I had found a new dream and a new purpose.
I told him, “I want to make silk scarves from my paintings.”
And she told me, “Do it!” Shortly after, I began.
Tribute to my father.
My father, an architect from the era of Le Corbusier, instilled in me a deep love for art. We would visit galleries together, and his observations made my gaze increasingly attentive and discerning. He used to collect works by friends who, in time, achieved international acclaim.
I always cherish the romantic story he shared about how he won my mother's heart by giving her a silk scarf he'd bought in Paris. That gesture left an indelible mark on my heart.
When I stopped painting abstract art, it was my father who encouraged me to take it up again. He especially admired my abstract works. I painted The Architect's City for him, a piece that reflected the urban development and the city's skyline, and which he came to value as one of his most prized possessions.
That painting was the spark that ignited the Architex collection of silk scarves. Customers immediately connected with the collection, and the pieces quickly sold out.
Today, his memory is interwoven into every creation, making my work deeply meaningful to me and memorable for those who wear it.
