Born in Monaco and crafted in Fukui, Japan, Valtoria brings a new sense of quiet sophistication to luxury eyewear. Founded by Gabriela Tarkanyi Maldonado and former Formula 1 driver Pastor Maldonado, the house blends instinct, precision and contemporary elegance. Its name, inspired by their daughters Valentina and Victoria, gives the brand an intimate sense of heritage and emotion. Each frame is conceived as an object of character, balancing sculptural lines with exceptional comfort and craftsmanship.

Japanese acetate, pure titanium and ZEISS lenses elevate every design with understated refinement. Pastor Maldonado brings the discipline and technical precision of motorsport, while Gabriela shapes the house’s distinctive creative vision. The result is eyewear that feels confident yet discreet, modern yet timeless. More than an accessory, Valtoria proposes a new vision of luxury — personal, precise and effortlessly elegant.
