Ladies, Wine & Design

Ladies, Wine &
a bit of Design
/ Bucharest


A conversation series
between creative ladies,
initiated by Jessica Walsh.

A small gathering of strong women talking about what they love. The salon night is held in Bucharest once a month and is limited to ten creative ladies. We'll wine, dine, and have casual conversations on a wide variety of topics relating to business, creativity and life.
Join here, attending is free and reservations are first come, first served.

As design can be used to support causes, we want to do more in this direction, keeping our events free, while also giving back to our local community. We set out to create a series of objects to wear and to use. With each product sold, we donate a percentage of the revenue to a foundation that helps women.

Ladies, Wine & Design was started by Jessica Walsh in NYC and since then, it has spread to chapters in over 200 cities all over the world. The conversation series is a platform for sharing ideas that can lead to meaningful collaborations and help build a strong community of female creatives through mentorship and championing others' work.

Romanians are shy about networking. But given the right context, they will strike up conversations that generate future collaborations.
Our Bucharest chapter has organised monthly gatherings for almost two years now and is hosted by Iulia Groves (graphic designer) and Andreea Ionita (content creator). They work closely to provide a cozy format that fosters a deep understanding of each participant’s projects and interests, and allows for the conversation to continue beyond the monthly meetings.
