bella figura: an Italian expression meaning to cut a good figure - to make the right impression - to look good.
From the bodegas of Florence to the markets of Paris and Provence,
the bazaars of Marrakech and Istanbul to the studios of superstar
American designers... welcome to BELLA FIGURA USA.
Here
we appreciate objects of great beauty and style. And our goal is to
furnish you with the most unique and striking home and fashion accessories
and luxurious green gifts all crafted by master artisans, while
appreciating and respecting fair trade principles.
How did this ouline boutique, BELLA FIGURA USA, come about? Well, our story is
not that unusual. We love to travel - and we always love shopping
the local shoppes and bazaars during our travels. But wouldn't you
know it - we'd get home, pass out gifts to friends and family;
and invariably, someone would want multiples so they could pass
on to their friends. But we rarely could find comparable items. Oh,
sure there were knock-offs; but not the actual artisan "handmade" pieces.
So, the
boutique was born: born from delight and frustration. Delight in traveling and discovering
fabulous artists making extraordinary products - frustration in not
being able to easily find those products once we were home.
And why an online boutique? Everyone's so busy these days, it's common to feel
like shopping, whether for yourself or for a gift, is just another
chore that needs to be done. So, BELLA FIGURA USA was created as the answer to these lifestyle realities of the busy woman, the
busy man:
- Our time is at a premium, and we don't have the inclination or patience to search an array of different stores, 17 different catalogues and dozens of websites.
- We want true "one stop shopping" for products of peerless style, value and uniqueness. We're not interested in buying what "everybody else has."
- And we want ease! See the fabulous item, type in your information, and
VOILA! The item arrives at your door a short time later.
We take great pleasure in bringing you the very finest of products, and are delighted
to be able to offerour eco-friendly finds. We travel extensively, and
in our journeys we look for the treasures of the region: while abroad
we search
for those pieces of exquisite artistry and workmanship that possess
all the history and rich tradition of their locale. Here at home, we
seek artists
of unparalleled élan and sophistication, those who have enchanted us with their passion, craft
and creativity.
So, whether you're looking for unique, green gifts and luxury gifts, or you
wish to incorporate European décor and American dazzle into your home and closet, choose BELLA FIGURA USA to be your source.

want you to have an easy, stress-free shopping experience with us;
