Launched in 2020 by founder Margaret Anne Nolen, Cartolina is a womenswear brand born from a love for travel and a tribute to her mother's enduring style. The name, meaning “postcard” in Italian, reflects the brand's philosophy of creating clothes that serve as wearable memories. With designs led by Zoë Rosenberg, a Parsons-trained fashion designer, the collections balance structured, tailored pieces with soft, feminine silhouettes. Each garment is intended to express a sense of quiet luxury and timeless quality, designed to be passed down through generations. The brand's aesthetic is heavily influenced by travel, with collections drawing inspiration from destinations like the French Riviera and Marrakech, evident in custom prints and fine embroidery.
