About Vajzë

Vajzë is the Albanian word for girl. Founded in 2016 by Valentina Juncaj, Vajzë was created to embody the multifaceted nature of a woman at any stage of her life. Valentina, an American national who was born in Montenegro to Albanian parents, experienced a unique blend of cultures growing up, which inspired her to reflect on and search for the qualities that all inspiring women have in common, no matter where they’re from. Strong, yet sparkly. Fierce, yet feminine.

These were women who worked hard, took care of their families, and treated every social or family gathering as an occasion to enjoy and get dressed up for. Read their story
