Our Story

The feeling of reaching into your bag and pulling out something that makes you smile. The feeling of arriving somewhere — a hotel, a dinner, a Sunday morning at home — and having everything you need, beautifully contained. The founder of CIAO couldn't find bags that felt like her, so she made them herself. CIAO The Shop launched with one belief at its core: that the woman who cares about what goes into her bag should never have to settle for ordinary. CIAO was made for you. And for those who want something truly one-of-a-kind, our hand-beaded embroidery customization turns each piece into something that belongs to no one else in the world but you. Welcome to CIAO. We're so glad you're here.
