OUR STORY

Twin sisters Olive and Amari created Ciao Bella in 2023.

After living in Italy for five years and having family in Italy, we were deeply influenced by the lifestyle—its sunshine, its light, and its way of living. We wanted to bring that spirit back to the UK. Homeschooled and growing up thrifting and spending time in second-hand shops, our passion for pre-loved clothing grew even more when we discovered the most incredible, unique Y2K and vintage pieces in Italy.

At the age of seventeen, we were both diagnosed with long-term illnesses and realised that, to survive and thrive in this world, we would need to use our time wisely. That challenge sparked a new determination within us—to create a brand that inspires change and supports others, and our world, starting at the very basics with what we wear and how it makes us feel.

OUR MISSION

We have all heard about the climate crisis, and want to help but don't know how or feel overwhelmed by how big the issue is..... So we have created Ciao Bella. We are more then a brand we aspire to be a message to our generation, to ourselves and to the future, that you can be beautiful and help towards a better brighter future, by the simple choices you make, choices where we can look in the mirror and say ...  'Ciao Bella', feel beautiful, with a knowledge that what you wear won't cost you the Earth, literally.
