Creating lingerie is my way of saying that desire matters.
That intimacy carries power.
That a single garment can embrace, empower, arouse, and provide strength.
And that sensuality exists not for others’ gaze, but for your own.
I always thought I wasn’t creative.
I studied engineering, living in a world of numbers and logic. But inside me was a constant search: I wanted to create something with my hands. I tried a thousand things… and I always gave up…
Until an illness forced me to stop. To ask myself deeply:
What do I desire? What truly excites me?
And that’s when lingerie appeared.
I knew I wanted to create it, without ever having touched a sewing machine. My engineer’s mind needed to understand every detail.
With the naivety of someone looking for shortcuts, I bought the book: How to Become a Lingerie Designer and believed that reading it would be enough. I soon discovered that no book can turn you into a tailor, designer, or seamstress. It took much trial and, above all, much error; much curiosity but also much resilience.
I immersed myself in the technique, trained in lingerie pattern-making and sewing, and turned that search into a custom-built career, chosen by me. I traveled to England to specialize with the best: David Morris at IATechnical, and it was a turning point.
Over time, I discovered a deep connection with my ancestors. My paternal surname, Sartori, comes from the Italian for “tailor.” And an even greater surprise was learning that my maternal surname comes from the medieval verb rhabiller—to repair, adjust, and mend a garment. Perhaps it was the confirmation I needed to know I was on my path. That heritage is present today in every garment from Sartori Atelier.
My atelier is in the center of Barcelona, a city that inspired me to make the leap. Creativity fills the air here, and it was that very air that made me feel I could do it too.
Owning my desire is what brought me here.
I want my lingerie to offer you the same gift — a soft reminder that what stirs you inside deserves to be seen, felt, and worn.
THE SARTORI ATELIER WAY: WEAR YOUR VALUES
Forget Mass-Made. This is Mindful Making.
We don’t do factories or fleeting trends. Each piece is touched, crafted, and perfected by hand in our Barcelona studio. This isn’t just slow fashion; it’s intentional creation. Think of it as the antidote to fast fashion—lingerie designed to last, evolve, and become a part of your story. Do you want to know more about our design and craft process?
Fabric with a Past, Lingerie with a Future.
Our collections are timeless pieces, crafted from rare, rescued deadstock and premium French laces. This means limited runs and one-of-a-kind pieces. You’re not just wearing lace; you’re wearing a limited edition with a soul, ensuring your look is as unique as you are.
Sustainability is Our Default, Not a Buzzword.
For us, “green” isn’t a marketing tactic. It’s in our DNA. We design to eliminate waste, source locally in Catalonia, and craft only what is desired—made-to-order or in tiny batches. This is beauty, without the baggage.
Your Body, Your Rules. We’re Just the Co-Creators.
This isn’t an anonymous transaction. It’s a collaboration. Work directly with me, Vicky, to tailor every detail—from strap length to metal finishes—creating lingerie that fits your body and your spirit, not the other way around. Let’s build your signature piece. Get in touch!
Passing the Needle: Own Your Craft.
Sartori Atelier is also a creative studio. In our workshops, we demystify lingerie design, teaching you to create what you desire with your own hands. This is DIY redefined: an empowerment program disguised as a sewing class.
Our mission is to prove that desire and ethics can wear the same skin.
We’re rewriting the rules of lingerie, moving beyond the disposable logic of fast fashion. We create with intention, honoring the time it takes to craft something beautiful, the body that wears it, and the individual who defines its meaning.
Here, lingerie isn’t about shaping you. It’s about revealing you. It’s a second skin that empowers, a personal secret that comforts, and a quiet statement of self-love. We design for the feeling of ease, the confidence of perfect fit, and the profound pleasure of wearing something made with love, quality, and presence.
In short: We craft signature pieces for the self, not just for the shelf.
