About the brand
What is Ciao Amore Studio?
Ciao Amore Studio is an independent creative studio
based in New York City, founded by Flavia, an Italian
multidisciplinary artist working between ceramics,
photography, and handmade objects. Every piece is
designed and made with love, curiosity, and a little
bit of Italian spirit.
Who makes the products?
Just me! I'm Flavia, the founder, designer, and maker
behind Ciao Amore Studio. Every creation is handmade by
me, from the first idea to the final details.
Where are your products made?
Everything is designed and handmade in New York City,
in small batches and with lots of attention to detail.
Are your products handmade?
Absolutely! Every piece is made by hand.
Small variations in shape, color, texture, and finish
are part of the handmade process and make each creation
unique.
Products & materials
Are all your products one of a kind?
Yes! Because everything is handmade, no two pieces are
exactly alike. Some designs are part of recurring
collections, but each item has its own little
personality.
What materials do you use?
I work with different materials depending on the
product, including high fire ceramic, porcelain,
cotton, embroidery, and other carefully selected
materials.
Are your ceramic charms handmade?
Yes! Each charm is individually sculpted, fired, and
hand-painted. They are made in small batches, so slight
differences are completely normal.
Are your Star Bags washable?
Yes! Star Bags are made from 100% cotton fabric and are
washable. Please follow the care instructions provided
with your bag to keep it looking its best.
Can I customize a product?
In many cases, yes! Some of my creations can be
personalized or made to order. Get in touch before
placing your order, and we can discuss your idea.
Will my product look exactly like the pictures?
Not necessarily, and that's part of the charm! Handmade
products may have small differences in color, shape,
size, or finish. Product photos represent the general
design and appearance of each item.
Orders & shipping
Where do you ship?
I ship from New York City to destinations across the
United States and (SOON, but not yet)internationally,
wherever shipping is available at checkout.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are generally prepared within a few business
days. Delivery times depend on your destination and the
shipping service selected at checkout.
How can I track my order?
Once your order has shipped, you'll receive a
confirmation email with tracking information whenever
tracking is available.
Can I change or cancel my order?
If you need to make a change or cancel an order, please
contact me as soon as possible. Once an order has been
prepared or shipped, changes may no longer be possible.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Because each item is handmade in small batches, all
return and exchange requests are handled according to
the shop's return policy. Please contact me if there's
an issue with your order.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Oh no! Please email me with your order number and clear
photos of the damaged item and packaging within 48
hours of delivery so I can help resolve the issue.
Care & maintenance
How should I take care of my ceramic charms?
Treat your ceramic pieces with care. Although they are
fired and durable for everyday use, they can break if
dropped or handled roughly. Avoid hard impacts and
store them safely when not in use.
Can I wash my Star Bag in the washing machine?
Yes! Star Bags are made from 100% cotton and can be
machine washed. For best results, use a gentle cycle
and follow the care label instructions
How do I keep my jewelry looking its best?
All the charms are waterproof and they don't tarnish.
The hardware pieces attached to them is mostly
stainless steel, so safe for the skin.
