Our Story

Where art, silk, and emotion meet

Milánova & Milánova is more than a brand: it is a way of life inspired by art, the beauty of craftsmanship, and the pursuit of authenticity. Each creation is born from the desire to tell a story, evoke emotions, and pay tribute to those who inspire us.

The beginning: a personal journey, a transformative idea

It all began in Sofia, Bulgaria, when Vilyana Milanova—textile artist by training and restless soul—was searching for a high-quality silk pocket square. She found nothing that reflected what she envisioned. Thus, Milánova & Milánova was born: as a creative response to that absence, and as a deeply personal project.

From Sofia to Barcelona: Atelier 19

Two years later, the dream took shape in Barcelona. In 2024 we opened our creative studio: Atelier 19, a small workshop where each piece comes to life. Its name pays tribute to Studio 19 of the textile department, where Vilyana once worked alongside other artists during her training. Today, that same creative, collaborative, and passionate spirit remains alive in every corner of our atelier.

Craftsmanship, design, and limited edition: a brand with soul

Milánova & Milánova is also a tribute—to family, to the feminine lineage, and to the power of art as a form of expression. The first “Milánova” represents Vilyana; the second honors the women of her family who have accompanied her with unconditional love. A brand that carries its roots in its name and its vision in every stroke.

El poder del arte

Nuestra filosofía

We believe in art as a way of life. That is why our designs do not follow trends, but rather tell stories, convey emotions, and celebrate individuality. Each piece is a statement of intent: an invitation to dress with soul, elegance, and awareness.

“Although our atelier is not open to the public, you can feel its essence in every one of our pieces. And if you would like to know more about our work, we are always available. Write to us.”
