Wonder and magic for little ones, big ones, and forever dreamers.

Caterina is a fashion designer and artisan, founder of Pinamolina.
Her story begins in the 1990s, during summers spent at her grandparents’ house — a magical place on a small hill in the Florentine countryside, where life followed the rhythms of nature. It was there that she discovered a fascination for objects from the past and traditional craftsmanship: partly by watching her grandmother embroider, and partly by rediscovering items from previous generations, which were a constant presence in every room of the house.

Years later, that early fascination became a professional calling. Caterina studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, where she explored a wide range of textiles techniques and discovered the art of handmade felt, which would become central to her craft. She later completed her training at the Politecnico di Milano, combining technical expertise with creative vision, and deepening her understanding of design and sustainability.
After working in the fashion industry, she chose to follow her personal path, giving life to Pinamolina. The brand is dedicated to creating poetic pieces inspired by childhood, where memory and imagination come together.
