Courveia is a Swiss fashion house founded by Olympia Bär, exploring strength, the body, and the evolving meaning of beauty through fashion.
Born in Zurich and based in London, Bär studied Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design in New York before completing an MA in Fashion at the Royal College of Art. Her practice brings together tailoring, sculpture and an ongoing investigation into the relationship between fashion and women's health.
In 2025, her film Lactic Acid received the ITS Fashion Film Award. The following year, InnovationRCA selected Courveia for the Creative Brands Accelerator.
Valentina Lopez joined Courveia in 2026, bringing seven years of experience across luxury, fashion and beauty, including digital and e-commerce programs for Puig, Tiffany & Co. (LVMH) and Harrods. She leads the development of Courveia's commercial and digital infrastructure, translating the house's creative principles into a considered growth model.
Courveia is being built deliberately: producing in limited quantities, developing through demand rather than excess, and creating objects intended to remain relevant beyond a season.
