Buggy Valhouli is a New York-based designer who founded her namesake brand, Buggy NYC, in the fall of 2018. Her brand is a reflection of her lifelong passion for design, which began when she launched her first clothing and accessories business at just 13 years old.

Buggy draws inspiration from her Art History studies at the University of St. Andrews and the summers spent with her family in Greece. She continues to incorporate elements from her dissertation on the costume design of the Ballet Russes, as well as the archives of the Benaki Museum in Athens, both renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and rich color palettes.

By blending her Greek heritage with global influences, Buggy works with artisans from India to Peru to create pieces that celebrate the beauty, dignity, and traditions of cultures worldwide—through the lens of her life in New York City.

Each year, she dedicates several months to traveling the globe, working alongside skilled artisans to source the finest weavers, dyers, and embroiderers, bringing her hand-painted prints to life. Her brand is a testament to both her heritage and her reverence for artisanal craftsmanship, creating pieces that allow women to exude an effortless sense of confidence, grace, and individuality.

For Buggy, there is no greater fulfillment than witnessing her designs take on new life as women around the world make them their own, infusing each piece with their personal style and spirit.

In a celebration of craftsmanship and human touch, the world of Buggy reflects the beauty of imperfection and the tactile interplay of cultures and palettes. The spirit results in the feeling of a dance - between the warmth of the familiar meeting the surprise of the unexpected.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and as a fashion company, we are always looking for new ways to improve. We carefully select eco-conscious factories, ensuring each product leaves a minimal ecological footprint while supporting both social and environmental sustainability.

We prioritize using natural fabrics like cotton, silk, and wool for their biodegradability, breathability, and comfort in our SMETA-certified factories. When necessary, we incorporate small amounts of semi-synthetic, recycled materials to enhance longevity and reduce wasteful replacements.
