Our Story
It all started with a name.
Vallen 22 is a brand born from resilience, reinvention, and a commitment to simplicity and quality. In 2018, at just 14 years old, I launched Via Manzoni, a clothing line that was a reflection of my creativity and vision. After several years of growth and learning, I was excited to relaunch Via Manzoni in December 2024 with new designs and fresh ideas. But just as I had ordered samples, I discovered that the name had been trademarked, leaving me with no choice but to reimagine the brand under a new identity.
hat’s how Vallen 22 came to life. The name Vallen holds personal significance, while the “22” symbolizes two key milestones that shaped my journey. In 2022, I made the life-changing decision to move across the country and pursue my dream of becoming a firefighter. That decision taught me invaluable lessons about perseverance, dedication, and the importance of community. Then, in 2024, I took another leap by starting my first tech business at the age of 20—an endeavor I continue to run today alongside Vallen 22.
Vallen 22 is more than just a clothing line. It’s the result of years of learning from both successes and setbacks. Our designs are simple, modern, and minimalist—timeless pieces meant to fit seamlessly into your everyday life. We believe in creating high-quality, durable products that you can rely on, whether you’re dressing up for an occasion or dressing down for comfort.
Transparency is at the core of everything we do. We believe that our customers deserve to know exactly what goes into the clothes they wear, from the materials we use to the processes we follow. With Vallen 22, you can expect nothing less than honest communication and a commitment to sustainability and ethical practices in every step of our journey.
Vallen 22 represents the intersection of personal growth and the pursuit of excellence. It’s a brand built on the values of hard work, resilience, and always striving to be better. I’m excited to share this new chapter with you, and I’m grateful to have you along for the ride as we continue to grow and build a community that values quality, simplicity, and authenticity.
