VALENTINE GINGEMBRE
Bambù Artisanat
Milan, ITALY
Unveiling hidden craftsmanship around the world
After studying in a business school in Paris and working with international luxury brands like Chanel and Pomellato, Valentine decided to rewrite her own story by venturing into entrepreneurship.
As a mother of a Franco-Italian boy, she lives in Milan, but it is on the world’s roads—from the Colombian shores to the intricate landscapes of Iran—that she found her true inspiration. With Bambù Artisanat, her brand launched in 2022, Valentine showcases her passion for traditional craftsmanship and sustainability.
Her collection of exclusive fans from Colombia combines elegance with eco-friendliness. Each fan is a tribute to the skilled artisans, her discoveries, and her commitment to authentic, sustainable craftsmanship.
