Rat & Boa

Friends Valentina Muntoni and Stephanie Bennett founded Rat & Boa in 2015, aiming to create a unique, boutique collection that bridges the gap between high street and designer. A label to offer modern women lasting, luxury pieces at an attainable price point.

The resulting designs are a celebration of the pair’s contrasting styles and personalities – born from a shared desire to translate moods into creations. A combination of bold prints and luxe fabrics define a maximalist style that evokes beauty and empowers the women of their world. Every piece is designed with an injection of nostalgia and a modern twist.
