Buggy NYC

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.

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.
