N°About TOVELIA

A map of small things.

TOVELIA is a clothing and accessories label for people who walk their cities: record shops, flea markets, tram stops and long Saturdays. We make cropped waistcoats, utility mini skirts, cropped shirts and modular mini bags, and we design every one of them around its pockets.

N° 02How a piece is made

Three steps, always in this order.

  1. 01

    Walk the route

    We start with a day, not a garment. What do you carry to a café, a record shop, a park? A ticket, a lip balm, keys, a card, earbuds. That list becomes the brief.

  2. 02

    Draw the pockets first

    Each thing gets a pocket: how deep, which way it opens, whether it snaps, zips, ties or clips. Flaps, bellows, welts and sleeves are placed like pins on a map.

  3. 03

    Cut it short

    Then the garment is drawn around the pockets and cropped, so every pocket stays in reach of your hands and the proportions stay light.

Pocket pieces laid out flat: a pointed flap, a bellows pocket with its gusset, a patch pocket, snaps and a zip

N° 03What we hold to

Straight answers, short hems.

  • One label, our own designs. Everything on this site is a TOVELIA design. We do not resell other brands.
  • A real difference between styles. Each style has its own cut, closure or pocket layout. Colours and sizes are options of a style, not separate products.
  • Clear pages. Every product page shows the piece from several angles, lists its pockets and says what is included.
  • Fair terms. Prices in your currency, delivery costs shown before you pay, and 30 days to return unworn pieces.
