Sabrina Bonatesta, designer of Be Nina: “When I discover an antique crochet piece or a vintage sheet, I feel its energy immediately. The fabric chooses me, not the other way around. I know instantly what it wants to become. There’s something magical in that moment of connection, like the material is whispering its next chapter to me.”

Each Be Nina piece is one-of-a-kind because each story is unique. Every fabric is hand-picked by the designer, feeling for that spark that tells her this particular textile has more life to give. From there, she crafts whimsical, wearable pieces that honor the past while celebrating the present.

At Be Nina, designer Sabrina Bonatesta creates from the heart of Apulia, southern Italy. Her approach to fashion is deeply personal. She doesn’t just make clothes, she rescues stories.
