Stumbled upon stars
I stumbled upon Ciao Amore while walking home from the grocery store one day this summer. She was set up at a street fair that ran down Broadway with the cutest little booth, tucked in among the deep fried oreos and bonsai tree vendors. Her giant gingham star bags were what initially caught my eye but her booth was also filled with the sweetest hand made ceramic charms, keychains, mugs, and magnets. It took me all of 60 seconds to decide on which star bag to take home with me and I have been using it everyday since. Her star bags come in two sizes, a clutch version (which will be my next purchase!) and a larger tote version. I’m in love with the large version because it is big enough to carry my laptop, but also small enough that I could use it as a personal item on my flight to Colorado. Ciao Amore's website is not live yet, however you can find her in person at markets throughout NYC. She will ship your purchase to you as well, just send her a message on Instagram!
